Synopsis: Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This remarkable study explores how human language may be appreciated as a reflection of the natural laws of the universe. Describing how different philosophical premises lead to different views of language-including English and Mandarin-the book especially considers the close relationship between Advaita Vendanta philosophy and Sanskrit. Examining the nature of words, its various categories, and meanings, this record argues that speech is seen as having an innate and unique capacity to reflect the light of consciousness.

About the Author

Paul Douglas is a student and practitioner of Advaita Vedanta Hindu philosophy. He is a tutor of Advaita Vedanta and Sanskrit at the School of Economic Science in London, having retired as a senior civil servant in the British Government from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.

Synopsis
This study considers the perfection of Sanskrit as a language through its grammar, structure and alphabet, continuing by looking at the use of Sanskrit as a vehicle of expression for every aspect of life; including the arts and the sciences. From here it moves on to some examples of its charm, beauty and musicality and then to Sanskrit as a language of enlightenment, a repository of wisdom and values. Finally, it looks at Sanskrit as a sacred medium for expressing the highest spiritual truths and experiences. It ends by trying to understand the importance of Sanskrit for India and the world, and why it is called the language of India's soul.
