Synopsis

Over the millennia the Indian alphabet has been used to record the Indo-Iranian languages such as Sanskit, Hindi and Bengali as well as other no-related languages spoken throughout India and southeast Asia, to become the parent of the worlds largest script family.

First developed to write the native tongue of Buddha, its mystic origins are to be found in the religious belief that our universe was created through the vibrational power of seed sounds called Bija. This belief is expressed 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.
