◊       Let us then look at the Sanskrit Alphabet itself, its varnas ( vaNa- ) , its structures, its symmetries….

Notes for the Sanskrit Alphabet – for extempore explanation

1. The Sanskrit alphabet reflects the symmetries of the macrocosm around us into an arrangement of varnas that can virtually give rise to all microcosmic sounds in our lives. This universe as we are now understanding is non-linear, its vast energies entwine in yet mysterious ways, giving rise to islands of order and chaos as symmetries within endless symmetries.[32] In a linear, idealistic world energy lends itself to simple cause and effect solutions – I push this object and it moves forward – in a non-linear equation this is not so. A push here may not result in an immediate effect there, the effects may collect over ‘space and time’ zones to precipitate entelechies , sudden occurrences or epiphanies which seem totally disconnected. Or small effects can cause huge changes. The Global weather is the first non-linear equation widely studied on the super-computers since the 80’s and the ‘El-Nino factor’ is now legendary. A small current in the Pacific has been empirically found to control huge changes in world weather.
2. An isomorphism from external reality to discursive language is created, thus : as we speak the first vowel ‘a’ ( A ) to the last mute ‘m’ ( ma ) – the glottis to the labials are traced and the entire mouth is virtually ‘shaped’ in the varnas. Next, the svars , or vowels are 13 in number according to the Atharvaveda Prātiśākhya and Rgveda Prātiśākhya . (Some texts talk about more, but I feel this number is correct.) – ‘a’ ( A ) is the symbol for Brahman as shown above. The vowels are likened to the energies of the day and the consonants to the night.[33] The ( A ) if suppressed, and treated as the Unknown; the Unseen or the the Undeterminable it leaves us with 12 signs. These are the number of months of the sun-signs. ‘a’ ( A ) is further embedded as a suffix in every mute and sibilant directly[34] and in the semi-vowels inherently – thus It constitutes every spoken word, sentence and so on. The mutes are the manifested, reflected glory of the Brahman and are likened to the night. They are 25 in number and so is the number of synodic moon cycles[35] in a year multiplied by two – to account for the waxing and waning part of the cycle. This is one symmetry. If we treat the mutes and sibilants( and neglect the anunāsik ) as one group then we see 12 combinations of alp & māhāprāna. Pt.Motilal Shastri explains in detail[36] how the chhands are derived from the annual, apparent movement of the sun from the tropic of Cancer to the tropic of Capricorn. The immediate solar cycles are thus embedded in the spoken word…
3. The Nirukta derives svar as the sūvarna or pure sounds. The ( A: ) sound is the pratyāhār for the entire alphabet – and ( ! ) for the vowels and the mutes : that is the varnas covering the shape of the mouth. This is further corroborated by the the Chakra system[37] : ( A: ) is the bīja for the 7^th and the highest Chakra or the Crown – Sahasrāra Chakra ; ( ! ) is the bīja for the next highest, the 6^th or the Third-eye – Āgyā Chakra ; ( h ) for the 5^th or the Throat – Viśudh Chakra.

( A ) and ( [ ) are explained as two Infinities – pūrnam adah ( Ad: ) & pūrnam idam ( [dma\ ) in the Shānti Pāth. This links beautifully with Cantors’ theory of Transinfinite cardinals – where the ‘countable infinity’ is …. αº (aleph-naught) ; the uncountable infinity of the continuous line e.g. is …. α¹ (aleph-one), and Omega that which cannot be reached.[38]
