This work explores the Vēdic philosophy of sound (śabda) and vēdāksharas (akṣara) as the foundation of life, knowledge, and language. Each vowel and consonant represent a distinct energy of existence अ, इ, उ denote temporal powers (past, present, future); ऋ and ऌembody vital breath; and groups of consonants correspond to realms of action, imagination, and knowledge. The text explains that “vāk” arises from the union of mind, breath, and knowledge, forming the bridge between human consciousness and divine creation. Pronunciation and tone reflect emotional and mental states, revealing the unity of language, thought, and life energy. While animals possess sound, only humans transform sound into meaningful expression through akṣara-śakti. Recognizing this sacred interrelation, ancient seers declared “Vākbhī Brahma” With Speech itself is Brahman, affirming that language is both a spiritual and creative force within the universe.
