The very popular Hamsa amulet in the Jewish Kabbalah that celebrities into the Kabbalah like Madonna have made famous:
The Hamsa:
This amulet was stolen from the ancient East. It is used in Hinduism and later in Buddhism, where it was created. There is a lot of nonsense claiming what this is in Kabbalah.
In Hinduism, the most important mantra of Kundalini Yoga is that of Shiva and Shakti, which is the Ham (Shiva) and SA (Shakti) mantra. This is used as part of a prana Kriya to open the centers in the brain. However, in Kabbalah, the symbol of the open hand is the crown chakra, and the all-seeing eye is the pineal gland, or as they call it, the Eye of God. The full and proper spelling of this mantra in the ancient Hindu texts is Haum Saum. Haum is the bija mantra of Shiva and placed in the crown, as mentioned in the previous article on this subject, and Saum is the bija mantra of Soma, the moon deity, the sixth chakra. The five fingers of the Hamsa hand in Hinduism and Buddhism represent the five elements that come together in the Third Eye.
This amulet, stolen from ancient Hinduism, represents the formula for opening the crown chakra and the third eye, as well as how they interconnect. It also carries the names of Shiva and Shakti. It's not even Hebrew. It's Sanskrit.
What else is stolen from Hinduism in Kabbalah:
In Kabbalah, they call the highest God the Ayin, which is the 16th letter in Hebrew and means 'eye.' In Kabbalah, it is simply the term for the All-Seeing Eye. It states that when Yahweh says his name is 'I am what I am,' this is Kabbalistic: Ayin, Yahweh is Ayin. Ayin is the "Eye of God" and the pineal gland in Kabbalah.
This is also stolen from Hinduism from Ain, which is the bija mantra of the Goddess Saraswati. It's Ain, not Aim; it has the symbol of the nasal N sound, not the M in Sanskrit. The AIN mantra is given for the Sri Yantra, which is the yantra of the Moon Chakra, the All-Seeing Eye. The AYIN the Y is a double letter with I in Kabbalah, so it's redundant. The number of 130 for the full spelling of Ayin is based on five times twenty-six. The Five elements and the number of their "god," that of twenty-six.
In Kabbalah, which is the pure understanding of the Torah, and Judaism, they state their "god" is simply the energy of the letters and the All-Seeing Eye—the chakra point in the head, which is a concept they stole from the ancient religions such as Hinduism and Egypt. The head God of Egypt, Osiris, was called "The Eye," the Ayin. This is the Eye of Shiva in the east.
