003 - Sharada Vowels

When the characters of Sharada script are arranged in the traditional order, they constitute a series of syllables which may be regarded as the basis of the phonological system. Each character represents a syllable and is called Akshar (अक्षर) and the series of characters in the syllabary is called Varnmala (वर्णमाला), consisting of vowels (swar स्वर) and consonants (vyanjen व्यंजन).


Vowel (Swar स्वर) characters in Varnmala (वर्णमाला) - A vowel which constitutes a syllable is written with a vowel character; 
















Sharada script vowels (swar स्वर) ---

















The Vowel characters are referred to as Akaar, Aakaar, Ikaar and so on. These are related to the their positions of articulation. In the next blog I will try to record the Vowel Signs which may be added to a consonant character to represent a syllable.

002 - OM ॐ 𑇄

ॐ OM - a mystic syllable, considered the most sacred mantra in Hinduism. It appears at the beginning and end of most Sanskrit recitations, prayers, and texts. Om (or Aum) Sanskrit: ॐ, ओम्, is a sacred sound, syllable, mantra, and an invocation in Hinduism. 

Form of OM in Sharada script is 𑇄. It gives completely a unique feeling when I write the symbol on paper - the experience is overwhelming. Holding my breath on each stroke neutralizes all emotions, the flow and the formations create a blissful atmosphere where one can experience the presence of Absolute. The lines, angles, curves, distribution and depths all work together creating an environment where nothing else matters. The power of sacred being is enormous and cannot be expressed in words.
