We have heard of these terms Nada, Biindu,and Kala in our religious
literature.We come across these terms in many Sanskrit slokas and
sthothras. In describing Devi Lalitha Parameswari and other deities
these terms are used! Sri Lalitha Sahasra nama sthothra extols Devi as
the essence of these three terms. Sri Arunagirinathar has a Thiruppughaz
starting with these terms eulogizing his chosen deity Lord
Subrahmanya. " Nada bindu kaladi namo namo' By these usages it is clear
that these
words are very significant, What are these words? what is
their significance?
It is " moola Prakruthi " or Nature that is the origin of Manas, intellect, Mind and Ego! This Nature is otherwise called as Parasakthi This Parasakthi is called " BINDU ". From this Parasakthi or Moola prakruthi have emerged four types of speech called " PARA PASYANTHI MADHYAMA and VAIKHARI".In descrbing Sri Lalitha Parameswari, Sahasranama Sthothram says "Para prathyak chithi rupa pasyanthi para devata madhyama Vaikhari rupa bhakta manasa hamsika" ie Devi is the embodiment of these four types of speech and the swan of the hearts of her devotees or bhakthas! The combination of these sounds is called NADA!
Chaitanya or awareness, Jiva or Kshetragna are described as " KALA " When the Intellect or BINDU and PRANA or KALA merge, NADA too merges or disappears! This status is called " NISHKALA " which is the very form of Supreme Reality or Absolute Brahman!
1 In PARA there is sankalpa--idea is generated.
2 in PASYANTHI the idea is expressed
3 In MADHYAMA movements of jaws, teeth and other preparations start
4 in Vaikhari you start talking loudly.
As these acts dissolve one by one including PARA or Sankalpa there is " Brahmananda or Divine Bliss!.
