SANSKRIT
Sanskrit
believes that the sound of the word never gets ruined and that it has an
everlasting value.
Words
in Sanskrit open out from their seed (beej) form.
A
root is always a single syllable that contains one of the basic sounds a, I, u,
ri
The
root or seed may create a word, yet the word will vibrate to its best, and gives
it tremendous power.
The
Vedic or the Sanskrit view gives more importance to the special sound it should
produce, than to the meaning of the spoken word.
