I myself tried this once when i was practising gayathri by mudras. I did feel the three na:dis vaguely but not the chakras. YeSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I am seriously interested in it because I have a major problem to solve: To find out how language originated from first hand experience of the people who saw its evolution by yoga. That is why I am asking . i met many people who wrote books on sri vidya and they gave me the same type of answers. Thank u very much. I hope u know about how language originated according to the scriptures if there is any clear cut description of it. Dear Sri Bhuvaneswar ji: Namaste. Your question of the origination of language as per the scriptures resulted in a small search and the following is what I could understand: In our Aupanishada Siddhanta, the creation of the universe is coeval with the manifestation of the Vedas. This situation does not give room for the theory that first people were mute and slowly language evolved. In the Gita III chapter, it is said that Prajapati created the beings along with the Vedas. However, i am not very well informed about the above subject. The Sutasamhita-tika 1.5.9 says: Arising from the effort born of the desire on the part of man to speak out what he has known, the vital air in the muladhara is set into the prior state of flux. By this air, the sabdabrahman that is everywhere becomes manifest. This sabdabrahman that is manifest, of the nature of kaaranabindu, motionless as abiding in itself, is spoken of as paraavaak. When the same rises to the level of the navel and rendered manifest there, as associated with the mind with its discursive (deliberating) faculty, becomes dynamic and effulgent, it is of the nature of kaaryabindu, of the form of Isvara from the cosmic standpoint and is spoken of as pashyantiivaak. Again, the same rising upto the heart, and associated with the intellect with the faculty of decisive knowledge, partaking of the special motions, being of the nature of naada and bindu and of the form of Hiranyagarbha from the cosmic standpoint, is spoken of as madhyamaavaak. The same, rising as far as the mouth, rendered manifest in the throat etc, of the nature of the letters of the alphabet beginning with 'a' (of Sanskrit) and ending with 'ksha' fit for being grasped by the ear of the hearer, of the nature of bija, of the form of Viraat from the cosmic standpoint, is spoken of as vaikharivaak. Commenting on the Kenopanishad 1.5. Yad vaachaa anabhyuditam yena vaak abhyudyate… the Bhashya says: 'That' means here Consciousness Itself. Vaak is the organ presided over by Agni occupying eight localities in the body, such as the root of the tongue, etc. The letters are intended to express the meaning to be conveyed and are subject to laws as to their number and order. The word which is produced by them is called vaak. The Sruti says: 'The letter 'a' is all speech, which, being produced by the use of letters divided into sparsa, antastha and uushma becomes diverse and assumes many forms.' The Rik, Yajus, Saama and truth and falsehood are its modifications. By such speech enclosed in words and conditioned by the organ of speech Brahman is not illumined or explained. Brahman by Its brightness, illumines speech and its oragn. There is a reference in the Mahabharata, Mokshadharma 210-19: In the days of yore the great rishis received through austerities with the permission of Hiranyagarbha, the Vedas together with the itihasas which had remained withdrawn during dissolution. Another smriti: In the beginning was projected by Prajapati the eternal (without beginning or end) the divine speech in the form of Vedas from which proceed all activities. Taittiriya Brahmana: He uttered the word 'BhuH'. He created the earth. The Sutra bhashya 1.3.8.28 says: And even this projection of speech is to be understood in the sense of starting of a cycle (tradition) of transmission through a line of teachers and students; for no other kind of projection is possible for Vedas which are without beginning and end. The Manusmriti 1.21 says: In the beginning He created from the Vedic words themselves the names of all beings and all actions separately as also the separate modes of life. The Mahabharata, Mokshadharma 232.25: In the beginning He, the Great Lord, created from the words of the Veda alone the names and forms of the creatures and promoted religious activities (karmas). Bhuvaneswar ji, by no means this is a deep study of the subject. But what I understand from these is that since it is said above that the names of all beings and all actions are created from the Vedic words themselves, there can't be a separate origination of the language separate from the Vedas which themselves are without a beginning, anadi, apaurusheya. The Grammarian Bhartruhari says: Anaadi-nidhanam …. The immutable Brahman without beginning or end is the sum and substance of all sound. The world of objects denoted by words is an apparent transfiguration (vivarta) of this Brahman. (Bhartruhari) I have heard that sound originated from the sounding of the Dhakka in the hands of Shiva which came to be known as the basis for the Maaheshwara sutras.
