Alphabets and the manifest forms of Shakti (creative power)

The power and strength of Alphabets according to Lakshmi Tantra

Lakshmi Tantra is an ancient scripture associated with Pancharatra Agama Shastra that has almost 250 collections, samhitas. The origin of the universe due to sound (shabda), syllables/ letters/ alphabets (akshara) and word (pada) are given in this text. The pada and its artha (meaning or object) create the phenomenal objective world. Thus, sound creates the universe. Hence it is called shabdhabrahman. It is the life-breath, life force, the life-force, pranashakti, infused into jiva that breathes!
