The Letter (Sound -Shabda), its meaning (Arth), its understanding (Nyan) are the three dimensions we are generally familiar with. Indians takes it further to the forth dimension. The Dynamics of the letters to a sutler level. The mantra part of the word is the dynamics. We know when we are in thoughts the sutler part of the letters we used and that makes our mood. It may be incoming or outgoing. The moods is what is the vitamins to our health. If anything is not right (Dharma), not bringing any creativity (Artha), not bringing any happiness (Kaam) and not progressing to next higher level (Moksha) to one-selves then it is not considered as a complete science in Indian philosophy. Same is applied to the linguistic of India. The script is mere for purpose of reproduction. Not just the word which gives you an image (Rupa) and mood (Rasa) but even the fraction of a word – i.e. a letter prodduces the Rasa (mood) without Rupa (a form). That is why a letter is called as ‘V’ARNA. Varna which creates the rasa – mental food. The Indian grammarians were very much conscious of this mental health and studied the V-tamins in depth. Grammarians were bio- grammarians who knew the invert effect of the letters. The basic understanding was that the sound energy will get transformed in the mass ( form) over a time and can be interchangeable. The world is nothing but this nonstop process only.
One can make different combinations of these Vitamins ( Varnas – Letters) and stimulate the mind. Mind is at the core of these all process to keep it healthy. Communication is not just a business but a tool of progression. These different combination of letters are the different Mantra.The mantra means a lever to the mechanics of a mind. A lot can be read about it in old Indian text book in depth provided this and next generation understand the script and its Vayakaran properly.
These PhD level synthesis of the Indian letters is difficult for my students to digest in the class room. My first phase of learning stops by enabling them to Read and Write their mother- scripts. The forth dimension is not required at this stage. But is the aim what we are looking at. To keep the society healthy with ‘healthy’ words and grammar.
The Indian scriptures mention it everywhere and is linked to the nervous system of a human being. The whole group of letters is derived from creation and mapped on the creation. What is in Macro is in Micro! Our whole body is nothing but a resultant of continuous play of these letters in principal. The finer phase is called mental and the solid phase as physical. From letters to mind and mind to body is a continuous chain. One can again reach and enrich the nonaccessible part of the body with sound energy. We won’t go into that details. Our body definitely get influenced indirectly by usage of our words and grammar.
Mantra may be the concentrated pills but the general day to day usage of words is diluted version of this process only. This forth dimensions is well thought while creating rather understanding the letters and their sequence. Now one will understand why we call or named Indian letters as MATRUKA. The creative force!
