Her body is gnana or mere knowing.
She is the origin of all alphabets, sounds and transcendental mantras, says Adi Sancara - Aadi Kshaantha samastha warnananakari -
And Thayumanawar addresses the Divine as 'intelligence' - Ariwaana Deiwamey -
And from this universality people from north and south, travelled to southern sea town of Rameswaram and northern Waranasi.
Now, in the name of a secular world view, we have buried religion.
Amid intellectuals, Samskrit language was a common thread.
Today, Samskrit has been somewhat 'finished'.
And hindi speaking people now seek to finish off the English language, that has provided the much needed common ground.
