Description
Over the millennia, the Indian alphabet has been used to record Indo-Iranian languages. First developed to write the native tongue of Buddha, its mystic origins are to be found in the religious belief that our universe and everything in it, is created through the vibrational power of seed sounds called Bija. This belief is expressed in its entirety through the sacred language of Sanskrit, its alphabet, scripts and glyphs.
Concisely written and richly illustrated, this is the most accessible and informative book on the calligraphic history and mystic function of the Indian alphabet.
