OM

It is also known as Pranavam, the most sacred symbol and first found in the Vedic scriptures of Hindu philosophy. 

OM has been seen as the first manifestation of the unmanifest Brahman (the single Divine Ground of Hinduism) .

Indeed, OM is so sacred that it is prefixed to all Hindu mantras and incantations. It is undoubtedly the most representative symbol of Hinduism.

Pranavam means: 

"there is no world for you"
"That which leads to salvation"
"that which leads to new knowledge"

The symbol OM means an excellent boat to cross the ocean of worldly existence.

Pranavam or Om does not represent any particular god, but Parabrahmam not having any form.
