Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 This is quite nice; thanks, Sarabhanga. (It's especially good for contemplating while in the bathtub ;-) (Ooops; I had promised to be less silly.) Pronunciation query--I have seen "Vak" and I have seen "Vac", which I assume (quite possibly incorrectly) would be pronounced with a 'ch' sound. Which is correct? , "Sarabhanga Giri" <sarabhanga> wrote: > > Sarasvati is the Art > hidden in a still pool > at the source of the flow. > > Vac is the Voice > revealed as the waters swiftly flow, > only to return again to the ocean. > > Sarasvati is the beginning and the end of this Art; > and Sarasvati is Vak. > > Sarasvati is Brahmani, > the Power Word of Brahman. > > Sarasvati is Water and Wisdom, > in all of Her true forms. > > Sarasvati is the immortal flow of eternal Dharma. > > The Goddess is indeed a "double Yoni" > with only sweet Music in between.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Vak is probably the original form. Just as Church and Kirk are synonymous linguistic variants, so too are Vak and Vac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Of course, in Mantra there are very subtle differences implied by the change from "K" to "C"; but for most purposes there is no difference in the essential meaning of Vak and Vac.
