Samskritam, the language of the Universe

The central teaching of Vedas is that the Brahman or God is the absolute
truth that abides in all as the inner Self. This absolute Brahman shines in
every particular entity sentient or insentient and also in the entire
universe as a whole. It is the source of all existence, consciousness
and bliss.

From this it follows that every particular countless entities and also the
entire universe is the body of God or Brahman who pervades and supports
them all. Thus Brahman as the indwelling Self in all the many name/forms is,
many and as the Self of the universe as a whole, is one. As Brahman is everywhere
it always remains as the origin, abode and destination of all name/forms.

Thus through sAmanAdhikaranya or concomitant coordination, God alone is
identified through all names and forms. Similar to how the Self alone is
identified through the body.

The relationship of body-self is also the same as word-meaning. The entire
universe is thus the manifestation of Vedic words. The entire world cognized
or experienced in the waking, dreaming and deep sleep state is denoted by the
letters A, U and M respectively, forming the sacred syllable OM. All the 33
letters of Samskritam are contained in the single syllable of OM. Each of the 33
letters in Samskritam denotes a reality and the indwelling devata who is the
controlling deity of that reality. The combined single syllable OM denotes the
supreme God, Brahman.

It can also be said that all sounds that humans can produce falls within the
three letters of A, U and M, that spans from the root of belly to the tip of
lips. It also has the silent syllable, denoting the deep sleep or Tureeya state.
All other languages, so called "vernaculars" or otherwise, are mere reflections
or sub-set of Samskritam, which always remains as the mother of all.

So the entire universe is made of the sound of Vedas or Sanskrit which is the
body or manifestation of Brahman or God who pervades and indwells in it
as the Soul or Self.

No other language in the world has this kind of Spiritual origin and universal
structure. Thus Vedas or Samskritam, is the language of God who is the spirit
Self or the Soul of the entire universe.

Everything in Samskritam is etymological. The word Samskritam itself means
 "that which is purified and has the ability to purify". So all humans who would
like to purify themselves must learn Samskritam, before leaving this world.

Brahman or God as the Material Cause

The Sad vidya explicitly states that Brahman alone was there in the
beginning and the world of name/forms arises from that Brahman. Many
examples like gold-ornaments, mud-pot and so on are given to illustrate
the same. This establishes that  Brahman is the material cause of the
entire world of name/forms.

The mantra - vacharambhanam vikaro namadheyam mrittiketyeva satyam
supports the fact that Brahman is the reality behind all name/forms.

Here Both V.Advaita and Advaita accept that Brahman is the efficient and
material cause of the world in the form of the Self that pervades all
name/forms. In Advaita, ultimately Brahman alone as the individual Self is real
and as the world of name/forms undergoes vikara or change, is unreal.
In V.Advaita the world of name/forms is real in the form of the body that
undergoes vikara, and Brahman as the Self indwells/supports/controls and
provides existence to the body and therefore is efficient and material cause.

But in Dvaita, Brahman is accepted only as the efficient cause for the world.
Material causality of Brahman is not accepted. So the word vikara is interpreted
as words from other languages that are supposed to be false or mithya as opposed
to the samskrit word mrittika which is always satya. The reason is samskrit
words are not just based on usage or rudi but they are etymological.
Another reason could be that all samskrit or vedic words have their
origin, existence and destination in the all pervading and indwelling
Brahman. This is a very interesting interpretation as it brings out the
eternal nature of samskrit words which also helps to establish the
eternal nature of Vedas as opposed to other scriptures. Though Brahman
is not explicitly accepted as the material cause of the world in Dvaita,
the all pervading nature is accepted. When the cause pervades the effect,
material causality automatically follows. But still it can remain
without any vikara or modification in the form of the universal Self.

It is very well known that each of the 33 letters in samskrit stands for
the 33 devatas who are the presiding deities behind the 33 realities in
the universe. All the many infinite name/forms in the universe and the
words denoting them are obviously permutations and combinations of the
33 letters in the samskrit that have their origin in the sacred single
syllable OM. Additionally the four letters A, U and M in the syllable OM
stand for the waking, dreaming and deep sleep states within which the
entire universe is comprehended. It also includes the fourth or tureeya
state of supreme silence which is supposed to be the spiritual abode of
Brahman. So OM is the the seed or cause for this entire universe. This
is common to all humans whatever may be their beliefs.

If samskrit word mrittika denotes the substance of mud then the english
word mud also denotes the same substance. Why is the english word false
while the samskrit word is true? The reason is samskrit word is etymological
and denotes not just the mud but the indwelling devata or deity culminating
in Brahman established as the ultimate Self which is prior to the substance
of mud and therefore the ultimate cause. On the other hand, words from other
languages are not etymological and denotes only the physical entity of mud
that undergoes vikara or deterioration and ignores the unchanging truth or
existence of Brahman indwelling in it.

Q: What is the proof for the existence of Brahman? There is no need for
other religions to accept it. So how can words be considered true or false
based on this unverifiable entity Brahman?

A: Brahman is the Self that abides in all which is indubitable and undeniable.
It is the supreme truth on which all relative truths like mind-speech-body
are absolutely depending. It is also the same as the principle of existence
which is common to the subject, object and the relationship between them
and therefore it is all pervading. Now other religions have no choice but to
accept it. If they accept Brahman then they have no choice but accept Vedas.
If they don't, then they become false as they denote only transient objects
that have no permanent existence.

In other words, the entire world of name/forms could be taken to be made of
shabda or sound energy which is the vibration of OM, the essence of Veda,
that has its origin/abode/destination in Brahman or the supreme Self. So every
particular samskrit/vedic word denotes that particular entity and also culminates
in the identification Brahman which is the supreme reality - parama satya,
indwelling in every particular entity. All non-vedic words that do not recognize
this supreme truth Brahman obviously is false as they denote only the particular
entity which is transient.

This universal Vedic view that looks upon the entire universe as the manifestation
of the mystic sound OM denoting the Supreme truth Brahman eliminates or consumes
or digests all other non-vedic views/words.

Probably that is why it is said that samskrit is the mother of all languages
and Vedic Hindu religion is the mother of all religions!
