<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "AGaramond","serif";">In the previous article I had discussed
about the vastness, versatility, elaborateness and creativity of Sanskrit. There
I have mentioned that this Language is a perfect tool for an integral spiritual
growth. Indeed, it is true that Sanskrit has a tremendous power to uplift and
enlighten and illumine. The Divineness of Sanskrit is self-evident. Sanskrit is
a language which is intuitively metaphysical and revealingly poetic, subtle and
suggestive, symbolic and figurative. This language has been evolved and
perfected in the Vedas and Upanishads. It is a language of Mantra, ‘a word of
power, of illumination, of light’. It is the language which has come in the
form of Mantra “…out of the secret depths of our being where it has been
brooded upon by a deeper consciousness than the mental, framed in the heart and
not constructed by the intellect, held in the mind, again concentrated on by
the waking mental consciousness and thrown out silently or vocally – the silent
word is perhaps held to be more potent than the spoken – precisely for the work
of creation. The mantra can not only create new subjective states in ourselves,
alter our psychical being, reveal knowledge and faculties we did not before
possess, can not only produce similar results in other minds than that of the
user, but can produce vibrations in the mental and vital atmosphere which
result in effects, in actions and even in the production of material forms on
the physical plane.” </span><span style="font-family: "AGaramond","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">(Sri Aurobindo, </span><i><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Upanishads</span></i><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">, Page: 125)</span><span style="font-family: "AGaramond","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "AGaramond","serif";">Thus Sanskrit is a living and conscious
Force, an entity that has directly come from the highest source, and is capable
of conveying infinitely more than what the surface sense of language seems to
indicate. It is not any man-made invention or mere tool for communication, but
a revelation. It is much more than merely a meaning or a sound or a sound
devoid of deeper sense other than that attributed by convention. It is a living
and creative mode of power. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "AGaramond","serif";">The resonating power and vibrational
purity of Sanskrit make it a perfect instrument for an integral spiritual
growth. Its very name Samskritam means ‘polished’, ‘refined’, ‘sculpted to
perfection’. The physical structure of the language is flawless. Its
construction follows an organic and logical development. In Sanskrit all the
sounds are articulated through five distinct places of articulation located in
the mouth: throat, palate, cerebrum, root of the upper teeth, and lips. On the
basis of this the sounds are either guttural or palatal or cerebral or dental
or labial. Though the letters of one group are pronounced from one position yet
each sound of that group differs from the other because of its internal
efforts. For example: ka, kha, ga, gha and nga belong to the guttural group.
Here ka is a hard unvoiced consonant with minimum breath, kha is also hard and
unvoiced but it is pronounced with maximum breath; ga is soft and voiced with
minimum breath but gha is soft and voiced with maximum breath; nga is the last
sound in the group which is soft and voiced but nasal. For this sound the
breath gets released through nostrils and the mouth. The arrangement of the
rest of the consonants in the Sanskrit alphabet follows the same order. The
importance of this scientific organization lies in the degree of resonance
created by each sound. Thus, the sounds of Sanskrit are amazingly capable of
bringing clarity of articulation.</span></span></div>

the sounds of Sanskrit generates joy, clarity and inspiration. It has a
refining influence on one’s consciousness. By a conscious use of this language
one gets the result of doing Pranayama. Thus, Sanskrit, with its power of great
resonance is highly powerful and potent for creating a happy and peaceful
atmosphere in and around the one who uses it consciously.</span></span></div>

Sanskrit,
as a language, is extremely elaborate and sophisticated. It embraces variety and richness of
experiences covering the entire gamut of human sensitivity and potentiality. It<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span>unfolds
multiple levels of consciousness. It has maximum number of words for the Divine
and more precise terms for defining consciousness and meditative experiences.
It has a great power to elevate human consciousness to sublime heights. The
thought contents expressed through this language are capable of taking to
greater heights, widening and heightening the consciousness of the one who uses
it consciously. Thus, it is a language that is ideally suited to describe and
govern the nature of phenomena from the spiritual level to the physical. Therefore,
it is a living and conscious Force, a revelation; a living and creative mode of
power, by itself formative and creative and not merely a conventional symbol
for lifeless ideas. </div>

The
vastness, versatility, and power of expression of Sanskrit are incommensurable.
It is extremely rich and efflorescent. The most noteworthy fact about Sanskrit
is that it keeps adding to its richness, becoming fuller and more elaborate,
but never removing itself too far from its original roots. Each and every word
in Sanskrit is conscious of its origin and always refers back to the root from
which it is derived. Therefore, there is a perfect relationship between the
word and the sense. It is theoretically possible to explain the meaning of the
words in Sanskrit according to the combined sense of the relative letters,
syllables and roots. Therefore the meaning of any word in this language is not
derived by chance or from any convention but from its own depth, the system of
root-sounds, sound-ideas. It is because of this transparency of the system of
root-sounds and clear semantics that Sanskrit has the ability to discover its
own history. A proper investigation of many Sanskrit words shows that in
Sanskrit a word is not a conventional symbol for an idea, but itself the parent
and the creator of ideas. This transparent system of formation of words from
the root-sounds follows a natural process and is one of the important factors
that makes Sanskrit an ever creative language. It also provides enough clues to
rediscover the lost heritage of Sanskrit.</div>

The
<i>Rishis</i> of ancient time were minutely discerning in their observations,
and were highly conscious in the matter of using the language. They did not use
the language just for the purpose of communication, they used it as a tool for
discovering the true nature of themselves and all that they saw in and around
them. Herein lies the sacredness of Sanskrit – it helps to discover the nature
of everything; it helps to discover the sacredness of life. It is a Force
functioning in many levels of consciousness, ever purifying, ever formative and
creative. It has tremendous potentiality to make the Divine Life possible upon
the earth. Indeed, it's another name is Devabhasha, the Divine Language. The rediscovery of Sanskrit means to grow conscious the hidden
forces in the sounds of Sanskrit and moreover its Divineness. </div>
