Sanskrit. The Language of Universal Vibrations

There are countless amazing things about Sanskrit.

One beautiful aspect of the language is how many of her sounds are soft. Hard and soft refer to how
much a sound vibrates.

When a sound is hard, the vocal cords come together and release producing a less resonant sound.
In a soft sound, the vocal cords rub together creating a friction and heat that results in a more
resonant sound.

Alphabetically, the language is made up of 49 letters. Out of the 49 sounds, 35 of them are soft
(more resonant). This means that there are considerably more resonant sounds on the building
block level of the language.

When you chant a Sanskrit mantra you build its vibrational force and it is nearly impossible to
miss feeling this energy in your body.

On a psychological level, when you chant a Sanskrit mantra, you become calmer, more at ease and
joyful. But what is at the core of a mantra’s strength? A key element that makes a mantra powerful is
its vibrational quality.

Language of Vibration

You hear it said again and again, “Sanskrit is a language of vibration.” The speaker says it with awe,
conviction and mystery, but what does it actually mean? And why is Sanskrit being called
the language of vibration important?

Scientists tell us that everything in the manifest universe is nothing but the vibration of atoms and
molecules. So to come in contact with a language of vibration is to come in contact with what we are
in essence. It gets deeper than that. When you connect with what you are essentially on the
manifest level, you can more easily feel what you are beyond manifestation.
Take, for example, when you go to a loud music concert. Afterwards the music and festivities have
stopped, and you are suddenly aware of sound and silence in a new way. You actually hear the
silence that was present under the sounds. This ability to hear the silence is at the heart of a mantra.
Not only do you hear silence more clearly after you chant but you feel the deeper meaning of the
silence as well.

Chanting leads to Unity

Chanting Sanskrit mantras stir up energy. Similar to the concert metaphor mentioned above, after
chanting a mantra, when you remain still, you can feel your Self as energy.

Eventually this awareness of you, as energy, leads you to its juxtaposition, i.e. to the recognition of
you as stillness.

The more you remain with this inner stillness that the chanting gave you access to, the more you feel
less separateness, or put another way the more you feel unity. Remember that according to Shri
Brahmananda Sarasvati, “Silence in Yoga is not just the absence of speaking… It is also the
absence of thinking…”

When you chant in Sanskrit you gain access to the silent mind and since it is only on the level
of the mind that there is separateness, in the state of inner silence you feel united with all.

Sanskrit mantras are powerful vibrational fields of sounds. The next time you chant a mantra pause
afterwards and feel pure energy. Notice how quiet your mind has become by singing these
vibrational sounds and perceive how, from the place of yogic stillness, you feel a joyful unity with all.

Action:

While coloring your Sanskrit meditation pages… chant quietly the word on the page. Feel the
resonance of your cells in your body. Feel where your body is open and receptive to the energy of
the word as it moves. And any place that feels resistant, relax and breathe the energy of gratitude
and transition into this area. Allow the feeling of non-resistant energy to unfold from within….
