PREFACEThe one who
poses an inquiry after universal truth, सत्यम्
satyam, stands at a glorious juncture in life. Most people do seek
after truth in everyday life in the most simple ways in mundane matters.
Throughout their lifetimes they may be guided even if mysteriously by a sudden
recognition of truth. This may be truth which comes to their
perception in a time of need; yet with the courage to follow
what they see their destiny is preserved, so that gladdened might be their
hearts. A more universal plane of truth is available for seeking
also in a constant, unending way, so that the same more typical element of truth

The teaching I receive from these revered teachers of Advaita Vedanta is of
immeasurable worth to me. ` सरस्वति नमस्ते Sarasvati namaste Salutations unto Thee, Sarasvati Sarasvati is the wife of Lord Brahman, and takes charge of all studies and learning. Invoking the name and guidance of Sarasvati is an act of devotion which cannot be measured or understood directly, perhaps. However, Sarasvati will fulfill the desire for success if humbly supplicated in all endeavors of the world, the creation together. Praises unto the Goddess Sarasvati for her gifts to mankind, and each gift as it is conferred through the individual. May all of your studies be blessed by Sarasvati. ` Contact Information

in everyday matters can be honed in upon through active, concerted inquiry.
The relative realm of objective reality has actually arisen out of the absolute
realm of reality; that realm of the absolute can be sought after in the subjective
mode from
the seat of 'I', the आत्मा
ātmā.
It is this
greater inquiry which can pose a deeper understanding of the truest, most
essential nature of things -- reality. This reality in question is also of
an ultimate genre; it is
नित्य
nitya.
The distinguishing feature of नित्य
nitya which
universalizes it in meaning in such an inquiry of metaphysical import as is meet
with सत्यम्
satyam
concerns time. According to the definition of that which knows no change
in feature throughout the three periods of time
नित्य
nitya is.
This fundamental query after what is most real according to definitions and
according to the profound drive to know truth will bless the lives of those who
seek after it, giving unending possibilities of glory through greater knowledge,
awareness of the self and awareness of reality. Henceforth, the entire work of
metaphysical explication held here at Sound and Light: The Sanskrit Primer of
Metaphysics is offered humbly unto those whose lives are indeed blessed
with such an inquiry in the metaphysical realm of endeavor. This primer
will bring profound insight into the ancient language of Sanskrit into
greater and greater light, so that a language whose attributes are born of that very inquiry
after सत्यम्
satyam
will serve such inquiry most fundamentally; indeed, inquiry itself can be seen as
hypostatic to the sounds of the
language of Sanskrit.
