The Vēdāksharas, the sacred Vēdāksharas of the Vēda, originate beyond human cognition and embody powers that awaken imagination and consciousness within the human being. Neglect of these Vēdāksharas obscures both vital life-force and Brahman-consciousness. Through auditory experience, self-recitation (svādhyāya), and interpretive exposition (pravaċana), the Vēdāksharas generate vibrations that animate mind and subtle body. Their manifestation depends on Prāṇa, the life-breath and two divine forces: Prāṇāgni, sustaining consciousness, and Vāgagni, expressing latent desire as speech. Independent of human control, these forces enable precise articulation through the coordinated flow of breath and the organ of speech. The Vēda is neither a linguistic nor logical treatise; rather, it reveals cosmic and human energies, actualized through disciplined study and sound. The Vēdāksharas thus constitute living sounds that transmit Brahman-consciousness, stimulate inner cognition, and sustain human life.
