Sounds precede written scripts.Not all sounds can be captured or written down.Language is from Sounds and not the other way around.Sounds express emotions and are spontaneous.Sounds also express the innermost yearnings of Beings. Spiritual feelings too are expressed though sounds.
Siva, Siddha Thirumoolar, records in his Thirumandhiram a Philosophical and Tantric treatise in Tamil states that Siva had created The Fifty one letters of Sanskrit and Tamil to synchronize with the Aksharas of Devi.
The term’ Akshara’ in Sanskrit means Not Limited, conveying the fact that sounds are not limited and depend on one’s level of Spiritual enlightenment.
It is worth noting that Special Aksharas are embedded in Soundaryalahari by Sri Shankaracharya.
Sometimes , sounds are not expressed explicitly in a language but is embedded in it.
Shall be writing on this.
This is the reason certain words are not recommended for usage as they would bring in spiritual downfall and difficulties in daily life.
It may be noted that the first portion of the SoundaryaLahari( was given by Lord Ganesha and the balance was composed by Adi Shankaracharya.
Devi is described as ‘Mathruka Varna Roopini’ Lalitha Sahasranama.
Mantrathmika-Lalitha Sahasranama.
Tantra Roopa Manon mayee-Lalitha Sahsranama
Sarva Mantrathmike, Sarva Yantrathmike -Shyamala Dandakam by Kalidasa.Lalita is also known as Matrika Devi, the Goddess of the Letters of the Alphabet. In Sanskrit there are 36 consonants and 15 vowels. In some arrangements of Her yantra these letters are to be found inscribed in the various triangles and petals of Shri Yantra. The combination of the 15 Vowels (the 15 Nityas) and the consonants (the 36 Tattvas) produces all sound, all mantra, all vibration, all word, and all music.
There are 8 letter groups in the Sanskrit alphabet. These 8 groups are personified as the 8 Little Mothers, worshipped all over India. The 9th group is Lalita Herself. She is beyond language and description. It is little realised ‘that gods and goddesses do not have names, but instead are described. “She who Plays” (Lalita) is not the name of the red goddess, but merely one of Her characteristics. She is beyond Name and Form.
In the first 12 verses (shlokas) of the Vamakeshvara Tantra is given a hymn to the Goddess as the Mother of the Letters:
1. I bow to the Goddess made of mantra, who consists of the (51) Ganeshas, the (9) Planets, the (27) Lunar Constellations, the (6) Yoginis, the (12) Signs of the Zodiac, and the (51) Matrika-Seats.
2. I bow to the great Matrika Devi, the Supreme Lady, who in Time is both a fraction of a second and the end of the Universe, the Destroyer and the Creatrix of Time.
3. Who is the whole perfect measure of the letters of the alphabet, worshipped by the Sun, Garuda, the Moon, the God of Love, by Lord Shankar, the God of Fire, and by Vishnu.
4. I worship the Devi of all Devis, the great Shri Siddha Matrika, whose letters of the alphabet, like moonlight, adorn the three worlds.
5. Who is the great thread of the letters of the alphabet, from which is woven the three worlds, who extends from the top of the head to the base of the spine. I worship you, 0 Siddha Matrika.
6. Who is made up of the 11 adharas (in the body), the universe-seed, the source of the primordial triangle. From the top of the head to the base of the spine you are the Origin of the World.
7. Who is the aggregate of the 8 letter-groups A-Ka-Ca-Ta-Ta-Pa-Ya-Sa, the primordial Source and Many Rayed Dweller in the centre of the heart.
8. Unfolder of the letter I, essence of essences, Most Ultimate One, I bow to you Great Devi, form of the Utmost Bliss.
9. The primordial One, of whom other gods and goddesses have no inkling. Who knows what and from where She creates? O Producer of Form and Formlessness!
10. I worship You, the imperishable letter-form from A to Ksha, O Devi, Supremely Auspicious Being. You are the Expansion Mirror, the Maya of the 36 Tattvas.
11. The aggregate of the eight groups of letters, in whom the eight Little Mothers reside, I worship You, Great Lady of the eight siddhis which originate from the eight letter groups.
12. Dwelling at the Auspicious Sacred Seats (Pithas) of Kamarupa, Purnagiri and Jalandhara, I bow to You Great Shree Tripura, the fourfold abode of the Elements.
Syllables of Vidya.
Vidya is feminine of mantra. Lalita has various forms of mantra, the most popular seeming to be the vidya of 15 syllables which runs Ka E I La Hrim, Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hrim, Sa Ka La Hrim. This is a mantra with three sections which correspond to Moon, Sun and Fire. There is said to be a secret 16th syllable which is the Goddess Herself. This vidya is called Kadi (Ka etc.) because of its initial letter. The Kadi doctrine deals with involution of the yantra, the Hadi vidya with evolution. These 15 syllables correspond to the 15 Kalas of the Moon.
If you refer to the pages on Shri Puja and the Bhavana Upanishad as well as the Shri Yantra figure above and the page on the Nine Mandalas of the Shri Yantra, this text becomes much easier to follow.

Siddhar Thirumoolar has said that all the ancient eighteen languages of India are subject to the rules of virtue given by Lord Shiva. Siddhar Thirumoolar has said that the original Tamil alphabet had the form of 15 vowels + 35 consonants + 1 Om Pranavam = 51 letters. Siddhar Thirumoolar has repeatedly told about these primitive alphabets in many places in Thirumantra. Siddhar Thirumoolar says that it is from these primordial writings that the Vedas and Agamas originated in South India and therefore South India is the purest place in the world.
The art of life is combined with reading and writing The primordial letter is called fifty and one
You ( Siva) are the one who writes and writes in – Thirumoolar
All Vedas are fifty letters All the Agamas are fifty letters After knowing all fifty letters Fifty syllables are gone and only five syllables remain – Thirumoolar
Original Post in Tamizh.
There are references to these Tamil primordial letters as fifty-one letters in all Siddhar songs such as Akchani Siddhar, Agappey Siddhar, Kongana Siddhar, Bokar, Sivavakkiyar, Pattinathu Siddhar. It is said in Arunagiri Nadar Thirupugaz that there are fifty one letters in Tamil. Tiruvilayadal Puranam written by Sage Paranjothi says that there are 51 Tamil letters… That Tamizh had 31 letters was noted by Thiruvilayaadal Puranam, Siddhas Azhuguni, Agappey, Konganar, Siva vaakiyar, Pattinathaar and Arunagirinaathar. .https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3675863102424784&id=100000033913235

Everything in the Universe is Vibration.Vibration caught in Geometrical proportions is Yantra The Audio explains the basis of Sri Chakra Aradhana of Devi Lalithambika.
This is A live recording of one of my classes of Soundaryalahari,with the consent of my student.
Sri Vidya is a highly revered and intricate spiritual path within the traditions of Hinduism. It encompasses a profound system of worship, meditation, and ritual practices, focusing on the worship of the Goddess Lalita Tripurasundari. Central to Sri Vidya is the worship of the Sri Yantra, a sacred geometric diagram that symbolizes the goddess and the cosmos. Practitioners of Sri Vidya engage in various rituals and meditative practices to attain spiritual realization and transcendence. The tradition also places emphasis on the recitation of powerful mantras and the understanding of subtle energy channels within the body. Sri Vidya is known for its depth of philosophical teachings, esoteric practices, and the transmission of knowledge through an established lineage of enlightened masters.
In the practice of Sri Vidya worship, the concept of vibration holds great significance. It is believed that everything in the universe is in a state of vibration, and these vibrations can be harnessed and channeled through various means, including geometric proportions and mantras. The Sri Yantra, a sacred geometric diagram central to Sri Vidya, is believed to represent the vibrations of the cosmos and the goddess.
Practitioners of Sri Vidya engage in rituals, meditation, and the recitation of powerful mantras to attune themselves to these vibrations and harness their transformative energy. The understanding of subtle energy channels within the body is also integral to this practice, as it enables practitioners to work with the vibrational forces at a personal and spiritual level.
Overall, the concept of vibration in Sri Vidya worship underscores the profound connection between the individual, the divine, and the cosmic energies, and its exploration forms a vital part of the spiritual journey within this revered tradition.
Chemotherapy started.Because of my age, the sessions were split into sub sessions and it was suggested that I undergo half the total dosage during pre operation period and the other postoperation.
After the second Chemotherapy session, I was discharged and I was staying in my daughter’s house which was near to Aster JP Nagar Bangalore.
I was also prescribed some medicines .
Unfortunately due to lack of communication, a tablet was discontinued and this led to serious side effects and also, in my case ,Blessing, as I was bestowed with a Vision .
This happened after the third sub cycle/ session of chemotherapy completed and I was discharged.
Three days after stopping a tablet, on an early morning, as I was entering my rest room to complete my morning routine around 7 AM IST, I felt that something was not alright with me. I called out to my son in law ( I sleep alone in my bedroom as I feel it is comfortable for me,even if I am sick/ recuperating).
Meenakshi Kalyana.
Vishnu Devi and Siva
Then what happened was neither a Feeling nor Cognitive nor was it something one can communicate. It was an experience which can not really be called so as I seemed to be away from the Experience ,yet I was experiencing.
Did I dream of it ? No, I was able to perceive, see( ?) hear( ?) with 360* perspective, with no restriction of Space or most Importantly Time.
I was seeing(?) ,I am using this term for want of better terminology. One who goes through WhatsApp I had, know what I am talking about), things around me in my daughter’s house;
-My son in law calling out that Appa collapsed, She calling out for the Ambulance,weeping,asking my son to come to Aster directly ;
I was seeing my son in law lifting me up as a child and propping me in the bed;
Hear him say that the Ambulance had arrived and that he is getting the wheel chair to go to lift;
Till then the body,which I later realised was mine,replied that it would walk and it would not need a wheelchair even to walk from the ground floor entrance ;
It walked,refused the stretcher and jumped into the ambulance saying that it’s daughter would be upset seeing It thus;
then the ambulance sped away to Aster JP Nagar ( which later I came to know took seven minutes);
The Body was taken to the hospital and I could hear the Doctors saying that It had to be admitted in Emergency ward as It was low in Sodium;
It was ,in its hands ,inserted the IV Needle;
Then I became ,’ I’
