Cosmic Cross The Cosmic Cross bears the inscription: Saccidananda Namah around the circle, and OM at the centre of the cross. This means that we try to live our Benedictine Life in the context of Indian spirituality, that is, in the recognition of the Divine Presence in the whole cosmos and in the centre of our own being." -Dom Bede Grififiths
