science of language in vedic tradition Hardcover

Description

The quintessence of the message of Vedic tradition to humanity is that true knowledge (Veda) and righteousness (Dharma) is the key to human prosperity and ultimate freedom. Righteous action depends on true knowledge. One’s knowledge is reflected in his or her actions. But knowledge is not possible without language. It is in and through language that thought originates and finds expression. Language is the sole light and guide to truth about the behaviour of objects. In fact, language is consciousness itself. It not the Vagdevata voluntarily appears before the speaker or hearer, it is impossible to express one’s inner world and also it is impossibe to understand the utterance. The Rgvedic Rsis who were fully aware of this reality placed primacy on ‘Vac (“Deified Word” or “Sublime Language”) and they considered it as the foundation of the world as well as all linguistic phenomena.
