Svaroopa Vidya Ashram’s Podcast

Divine sounds lie at the root of your existence. This is what makes words affect you so deeply. They reverberate all the way in. The power of words originates in the Divine sound, OM.  In order to manifest as the universe, Shiva emanates his bliss as the subtle sound OM. It grows and expands, then blasts itself into many sounds, called Matrika.  In this yantra, the sounds emanate forth into the energetic structure underlying the universe, as expressed in the Sanskrit alphabet.
