The
first letter ‘अ of the Sanskrit alphabet, which is invariably the first letter
of most of the world languages, is the first sound to emerge from space. When
it is chanted without the concluding sound called the Bindu which gives a full
stop to it and the sound of Visarga, represented in Sanskrit by two dots :,
sounding like “aha” or “uhu” depending on the preceding sound, O Parvati – in that
great soul, a river of knowledge about the supreme Ishwara flows immediately. –
