abstract
This study explores the Vēdic conception of phonetic energy as a manifestation of cosmic and divine principles. Among the five primary foundations-Prāṇa (vital energy), Bala (strength), Yajña, Kāla (time), and Akṣara (Vēdāksharās), each operates through svara (intonation), revealing graded levels of consciousness and existence. The Kṛṣṇa and Śukla Yajur Vēda employ differing tonal structures, symbolizing varying degrees of creative expression. Phonemes such as य, र, ल, व embody states of divine awareness, while consonantal groups represent the physical, imaginative, and intellectual planes of reality. The sounds श, ष, स, and ह correspond to the realm of vital energy, emphasizing the preservation and movement of prāṇa. Dēvatās like Mitra, Varuṇa, Aryaman, Bṛhaspati, and Viṣṇu are interpreted as dynamic forces governing speech, meaning, and vitality, illustrating how the Vēdic science of sound integrates metaphysics, linguistics, and cosmology.
