Science and Technology and Sanskrit

*****************

February 4, 2004 Global Press Conference

 

MAHARISHI: ...the whole of the Vedic knowledge is available to

everyone in one syllable: "A". "A" is a syllable. It is

called "svara". "Svara" means: "ra" - reverberation - of "sva" -

Atma. Atma reverberates in the reverberation, in the sound of "A".

 

One very special thing I would like to tell you - I have been saying

all this - but this is the time to again repeat it: "A" is a Vedic

svara. Svara we say, the consciousness, Atma Chetana, the

consciousness of the Self, consciousness of Atma. The whole Vedic

Literature, the whole Vedic Language, all expressions: they have "A"

in it. This is the speciality about the perfection of Vedic word.

 

If you speak Sanskrit, if you speak Vedic Language, you have to

say "A" in each syllable, in each alphabet. Whether we

say "ka", "kha", "ga", "gha" - anything you say, "A" is there. And

when "A" is there, wholeness of knowledge is there in a lively

flow. Wholeness of knowledge. And wherever there is wholeness of

knowledge flowing, there is the entirety of the power of action

flowing with it. So both things now we say, knowledge and action.

 

Vedic Science is a science and technology at the same time. Not

science separate, not technology separate. No. You begin to speak

Sanskrit, and you will be enlivening your Atma.

 

One thing very interesting: Anyone who says anything in Sanskrit,

what he is doing? He is enlivening consciousness, self-referral

consciousness. He's enlivening Atma. When you have these concerts,

Gandharva-Ved concerts, then what you are doing?

 

Someone who says "A", various types of they call it ... (unclear

Sanskrit/Gandharva word): up and down and up and down and up and

down. As you say it, what you are creating? You are creating

in your own consciousness, in your own intelligence, in your own

awareness - you are creating thrills of totality, thrills of Atma.

And those who are listening to it, to you, their Atma is being

thrilled.

 

It's a very great science of language. It's very necessary that when

we are now aged and old and now retired age and all that - our time

is over - but we would like our children to be thriving in the

infinite creativity of the Atma, of the Self - infinite creativity

of the Self.

 

Start to speak Sanskrit. Teach Sanskrit to the children. I would not

speak anything about other languages, but if you want to enliven

infinite creative intelligence from whatever you speak, from

whatever you do, then you take care of your language. Sanskrit is the

language whereby you can enliven your creativity, you can enliven

positivity...

i see only degrees of functionality. nothing magical here. if you beg to differ,

make

your case. as far as i am concerned, language is a hindrance.

 

but then again...what do i know
