Science Behind Language

jayasala42 · Jul 22, 2020

Today's students may not even know that the alphabet of Indian languages is full of science. Each letter of the alphabet is logical and placed sequentially with precise calculations. Such a scientific view is not ingrained in the alphabet of other foreign languages. E.g. See:

*क ख ग घ ઙ* - This group of five is called *kanthavya* because the sound comes out of the throat while pronouncing this. Try pronouncing.

*च छ ज ज ઞ* - These five are called *palate* because the tongue will feel palate while pronouncing this. Try pronouncing.

*ट ठ ड ઢ ण* - These five are called *Murdhanya* because while pronouncing this the tongue will feel Murdhanya. Try pronouncing.

*त थ द ध न* - This group of five is called *Dantavya* because the tongue touches the teeth while pronouncing this. Give it a try

*प फ ब भ म* - This group of five is called *Aushthavya* because both the lips meet to pronounce this. Give it a try

Any other language in the world has such a scientific approach? We need pride for our Indian language but at the same time let us know why and let the world know.

Tongue in Teeth
Strolling through the streets of Lanka at night, Hanuman was taken aback when he heard the chants of Sriram coming from a home. They were not loud but whispers through the windows. Hanuman wondered who could be chanting my Lord's name in the city ruled by Ravan. The house had a cluster of Tulsi plants outside and the walls had signs of Sri Hari.
Just then a man opened the front door and came out chanting the holy name . The sky was starlit and it was couple of hours before dawn. The man offered water to the Tulsi plants while performing a clockwise pradahkshana. Hanuman hopped and stood before him folding his hands. The man introduced himself as Vibhishana, brother of Ravan.
Hanuman quizzed "it baffles me: you are a devotee and a noble soul. How on earth you live among the demons?"
Vibhishan smiled and said "just as the tongue lives in the mouth"
With thirty two teeth biting and grinding, around it, not only does the tongue remain untouched, it enjoys all the taste. The very food that sits and rolls on the tongue is chewed to a pulp by the teeth and yet this snaky little thing escapes unscathed. Only time it is hurt is when we have a lapse of mindfulness.
Why? Philosophically the chief difference is flexibility. The tongue's flexibility is the key to its longevity. That's why it gets the taste while the teeth get root canals and cavities. They fall on it's own accord or pulled out!.but no one loses their tongue.
The tongue teaches..others may grind and bite but you can still enjoy life if you are flexible.
Everything will hurt less, and bother less if we loosen up a bit..then an avalanche of peace and joy is triggered.

World around cares for truth but it cares a lot more about how one tells the truth.
If one desires to lasting peace and joy, learn from his or her tongue and live like it.
Befriend it, tame it..it has a great bearing on your relationships.
