Is Om The Hindu Equivalent Of Christian Cross?

No, "Om" and the Christian cross are not equivalent symbols.

Om (also spelled Aum) is a sacred sound and a spiritual icon in Hinduism. It signifies the essence of the ultimate reality, consciousness, or Atman (soul). It is considered to be a symbol of the universe and the underlying cosmic sound that sustains it. Om is used widely in Hindu religion and to a certain extend in Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, but its significance may vary slightly across these traditions.

On the other hand, the Christian cross is a symbol representing the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and is central to Christianity. It represents the sacrifice of Jesus for the salvation of humanity and is a symbol of faith, redemption, and divine love for Christians. The cross is not directly comparable to Om in terms of symbolism or meaning.
