Samskruta Bhasha is the Deva Bhasha (not the anglicised 'Sans krit' language that means lifeless language). It is a language of the divine souls. Actually, the present day Samskrutam is also a slang and, much worse, the Language spoken in Jammu and Srinagar is also Samskruta with a localized slang and almost all of them have been converted. The Buddhists had Pali and Devanagari languages; prior to that exited ardhamagadhi, jarbhari, turfari, and the like. All these are great languages with spiritual power inherent in every syllable. Even now the Rk Veda is so esoteric, full of symbolism, iconic, and semantically very difficult to understand. Every syllable in Samskrutam has deeper root meaning and intent and, the present day samskruta pundits cannot even think of it! For example, the term 'rahasya' is treated as 'secret'; but, it is a passage ('raha' ) of some thing ('yasya'). Moreover, there is no grammar and composition in ancient Samskrutam scriptures as is now understood! Panini and other scholars come later to provide a systematised language as such. 'Nirrukta' was there for reference in case of difficulty in understanding. The Gods (divine souls) had their own communication in sign language, mudra and samjya (signs and symbols). Everything was abstract in the beginning. The transparent minds could easily read the minds understand the intentions of the speakers. Even today, intellectual exercises will not help; only spiritual development with the help of scripture will do.
The secret of Samskrutam lies in its inherent power of creation (srushti) and sustenance (sthiti) of the universe. Everything, starting from the mighty stars and galaxies to every single ion, atom, molecule of the objective phenomenal world has its origin in the syllables / alphabets (akshara) of this Great language / samskruta bhasha.
Everything manifest from brahman, and this principle applies to the power of speech (vaak shakti) of the humans, too. What if the humans had no power of speech? Who gives this power of speech to humans and why not this privilege to the animals? Is it to shout, quarrel, fight, kill and destroy each other? This is what is going on or seen in the present-day world. On the contrary, the language elevates man from his animal state to human and divine state and this is evident from the soft and melodious spoken language (of samskrutam, needless to say). The beauty of this divine language is revealed step by step in the following as received from the Shaiva agama shastra where the Supreme Lord Shiva explains all these secrets. (See Shiva sutras ).
Unlike the English language which is a floating one, the Samskruta bhasha pierces directly to heart and there is a resonance of intuitional knowledge revealed! The alphabets (the alpha and beta?) of English language starting with the A B C D and X Y Z) do not have the deeper root meaning. Every samskruta pada has a dozens of secret meanings and only a shrewd adept can know it. The samskruta bhasha has come from the inner depth of the being, a yogi! Just as the star Sun is born and, from it has manifested the planets, and in turn, their satellites (like the earth and the moon) the entire alphabets have emanated from the first syllable 'a' meaning brahman. Along with this 'a' has come the universe; the sound of the syllables have the capacity produce the objects- from the subtle feeble tremor has come the gross Sound (shabdha) . In fact, this has been mistaken for the 'Big Bang' !
The gross 'Sound' (shabda) has emanated from the subtle 'spanda' (vibration) and waves (taranga) have moved out in different directions and thereby the 'dik' and disha (directions) are formed! this is how Time and Space are created by the sound. The moment the tremors set out, the directions (dik) and space (desha) and the moment the sound erupted, the time (kaala) started. All these started from one point, the bindu (epicentre), called Shiva, according to Shaiva agama shastra. Shiva is Ishvara, the Lord of the universe. The creative power of Shiva is Shive, the Divine Mother. The same is also true in the case of Vaishnava agama sastra where the universe manifest as the divine will of Shree Hari Narayana and the the creative power, Lakshmi. The ancient text Pancharatra gives more details.
