The ohm is most often used in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism.

The mantra "OHM" is the name of God the vibration of the Source. 

Breaking it down letter by letter, A-U-M represents the divine energy (Shakti)
Its three elementary aspects are Bhrahma Shakti (creation)
Vishnu Shakti (preservation) 
Shiva Shakti (liberation, and/or destruction)

Sanskrit letters or symbol for the "sacred" Hindu sound ohm or aum are called "the mother of all mantras. 
The four parts symbolize the four stages of consciousness:
