Going Om

Going Om is inspired by the spirit of the Nepali mountains. The serenity and harmonious energies were what inspired us to set up this sanctuary in Singapore. While we may be a cafe/bar concept store, think of Going Om as a Sanctuary – where you may seek harmony, peacefulness and bliss within the confines of a refurbished shophouse tucked in the corner of eclectic Haji Lane. The name Going Om, suggests for one to go OM. Om has many meanings in various beliefs, and the one we adopted was, ‘The realization of GOD’, or ‘The realization of Oneself.’ When ‘HE’ comes ‘HOME’, the ‘H’ and ‘E’ goes into ‘O’ and ‘M’. Hence ‘HOME’ becomes ‘OM’. Also, it is a pun played on the English Cockney accent of ‘I’m goin’ om, mate!’, meaning ‘to go home!’. This is also the reason why we have no menus, as a home is never structured to have one. We want people to have a space to escape from the buzzing streets and busy cosmopolitan culture of Singapore; a place where they can just be, being themselves in this ‘public home’ and to be at ‘OM’. Going Om is built on Universal LOVE and RESPECT. It is a place to mingle with like-minded individuals as we strive to create a conducive setting for manifestations; for individuals, for people, and ultimately for a better world. Come join us for food, fun, and the Arts & indulge in the alternative services we offer – including card readings, holistic healing, yoga and meditation classes.
