Preface

I feel highly honoured and my heart is filled with gratitude for the Lord's blessings as I am writing the pref- ace for the book titled THE VAGYOGA : MNEMONIC SAN- SKRIT'. by Sadguru Maharaja, Dr. Vagish Sastri. Gurudeva's long years of learning and meditation has blessed him with the unique celestial Kundalini medita- tion and helped him to invent the Vagyoga : Mnemonic Technique for acquiring the Mantra Language, Sanskrit in just 180 days.

He is not only an eminent Scholar of oriental learn- ing but a yogi who has the power to enlighten the con- sciousness of his disci pies, makes them feel the celestial vibrations and purifies their creative intelligence. In this book Gurudeva describes how he was inspired by divine guidance so that he could develop this Vagyoga : Mne- monic Technique which unfolds the hidden powers and produces creative energy in the scholars to learn this clas- sical language in a very short period. Sadguru Vagish Maharaja applies phonetical, musical, philosophical, mathematical and natural laws in his teaching so that learning of Sanskrit becomes easy, simple and allows stu- dents to develop on their own thereafter.

Dr. Vagish Sastri, an eminent Sanskrit Scholar of International fame has written and edited 200 books on Sanskrit and written 200 research papers on Veda, Word- philosophy, Yoga- Tantra, Ayurveda and other oriental topics. It will be impossible for me to give the details of his versatile genius in the preface of this book. This is just a very smaIl part of the vast contributions of his learn- ing to the field of Sanskrit Pedagogy.

It is with a heart filled with wonder that I write these few words and pray that people across the globe will be able to benefit and enrich their lives by going through this book.

May the Almighty grant Sadguru Maharaja long and productive life for the enlightenment of mankind.

 

Introdction

The Vagyoga method has been enriched by the dif- ferent and rich streams of Vedic philosophy, Yoga, Tantras, phonology, music, linguistics and philosophy. In this age marked by a scientific temper Vagyoga ac- quits itself well. Any person free from tensions aged be- tween 15 to 60 qualifies as a student provided he/she has the power to grasp the instructions of a meta language. Aided by the teacher, the student gets to know the basic principles governing the grammar and syntax through a process of self experience. So an alternate name of Vagyoga is 'self-improving system' language teaching. The reason for this name is that in this system there is no memorization of grammatical formulae, instead, the stu- dent dissolves his/her ignorance in stages as he/she dis- covers, how rules are formed in a natural way. To aid memory, all one has to do is meditate daily on the natural laws that he/she discovers for himself or herself.

No new technical terms are introduced in this sys- tem. The already well entrenched terminology is logi- cally explained far beyond the levels done in standard grammar texts instead of the Paninian pratyaharas, the alphabets of pre-Paninian era are taught. Since letters are the ultimate matrix of all languages a powerful imagery is created to fix them in proper relief. Herein, the 14 vowels, the two Ayogavahas and the 33 consonants are likened to 14 worlds, 2 Asvini Kumaras and 33 gods of the Vedic pantheon. In total the 49 letters are seen as a personification of the 49 Maruts (vital airs). The names of Sanskrit alphabet are I. Matrka : mother of the litera- ture; 2. Varna-Samanaya; 3. Varnamala and 4. Aksamala. All letters are abbreviated in' AHAM'. This symbolism drives home quite a lot of the properties of the letters. The Vagyogic system of teaching is divided into three parts:

(1) The changes of letters (Varna-kandam),
(2) Word derivation (Pada-kandam),
(3) Sentences (Vakya-kandam).

In the first part, the formulation of phonological rules, the correct pronunciation of letters and the evoluation of the Devanagari script are taught showing the close con- nection between them so that these ideas become well imprinted on the pupil's mind. Though Vagyoga tech- nique has rejected the Paninian pratyaharas (abbrevia- tion for groups of letters), their logic is retained and be- comes evident in this method.
