Perception of speech metaphysically

 In English we have only 26 letters whereas in tamil we have 247 letters

If we speak English we use our prana in 26 ways if we speak tamil we use prana in 247 ways . which itself  will have the effect of pranayama.

             Tamil has 12 vowels and 18 consonants, the remaining letters are derived from the compound tableshown below. Tamil defines vowels and consonants as Uyir Ezhuthu, Mei Ezhuthu meaning Soul letters,Body letters respectively. As the name implies this embeds a deep spiritual concept in it.

‘Uyir’ in Tamilmeans literally ‘Life’ but metaphysically means ‘Soul’ and that includes ‘Life’. ‘Mei’ means ‘PhysicalBody’.

The vowels and consonants combine together to form the vowel-consonant alphabet called theSoul-Body letter (Uyir-Mei Ezhuthu). Metaphysically this means the Soul gives life to the body andbecomes a living being, so the vowels activate the consonants to produce conjugants.

 Soul + Body =Life. 

This shows how your speech has greater effects on our lives and others
