🔱 Is there a language so perfect it maps sound to the cosmos?
So logical, it works like code?
So sacred it's called the language of the gods?🛕
Yes. It’s Sanskrit.🕉️
A 🧵that might change how you see language forever👇
From NASA labs to Himalayan chants, here’s the story.

Sanskrit isn’t just a language—it’s a living vibration.

It wasn’t “invented” like English or French.

It was revealed that Brahman is a śabda, or sound, as a divine principle.

Spoken by sages, chanted in mantras, and mapped to the cosmos. 🌌

🚨 FACT: Sanskrit is the only human language arranged by place of articulation in the mouth.

Each letter is placed scientifically:

-> Guttural: क

-> Palatal: च

-> Cerebral: ट

-> Dental: त

-> Labial: प

A phonetic periodic table. 🎙️

Panini’s Aṣṭādhyāyī (~500 BCE) is the world’s earliest known generative grammar.

It uses nearly 4,000 rules—essentially a linguistic algorithm.

Some say it anticipates modern programming logic. 🧠

Even NASA once considered using Sanskrit for machine translation due to its "unambiguous structure".

Why?

Because syntax clarity + zero redundancy
= perfect for logic-based systems.

Ask yourself: Can a language be spiritual tech?

Sanskrit mantras aren't just words—they’re frequency codes.

🕉️ "Om" isn’t symbolic—it’s a resonant frequency.

Sound in Sanskrit = Energy = Consciousness.

Ref: Fritjof Capra, The Tao of Physics (1975)

Sanskrit gave rise to a whole family:

Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Nepali, Sinhalese...

But did you know:

🪷 Sanskrit inscriptions are found in Cambodia, Bali, Thailand & Vietnam?

It shaped civilisations without a sword.

Words like karma, guru, nirvāṇa, yoga—they're all Sanskrit. 🪷

Even Japanese esoteric Buddhism uses Sanskrit mantras.

Example: "Shingon" mantras like "Om Mani Padme Hum"—Sanskrit at heart. 🛕🕉️

Sanskrit🕉️ isn’t dead. It’s sleeping.

It lives in chants, rituals, Vedas, Ayurveda, Yoga, and even your Google search when you type "Namaste."

Time to revive it—not just in temples but in homes, schools, and hearts. 🫶

What if we taught Sanskrit as coding the mind?

What if we saw it not as “ancient”, but as future-ready?

What if we spoke it again? 🛕

"Saṃskṛtaṃ nāma devānām vāṇī"

Sanskrit is the language of the gods. 🕉️

What if the tiny blood vessels in our brain, the ones we rarely think about, hold the key to understanding dementia? 🧠❓

Excited to share our latest publication in the European Journal of Neuroscience from the NEUROGEN-SVD study.

A big shout-out to the rising star of my team, Chelsea Jin!

A THREAD 🧵

1/5Image
For decades, scientists treated vascular brain disease & Alzheimer’s as separate.

👉 Our study proposes a new model: small vessel disease (SVD) isn’t just a bystander - It actively drives & accelerates neurodegeneration.

2/5
So, what’s new?

-> SVD disrupts blood flow & the blood–brain barrier.

-> This leads to inflammation + waste build-up in the brain.

-> Genetics (like APOE ε4) amplify the damage.

-> Advanced imaging now lets us “see” these hidden changes earlier.

What do great nations do when one door is slammed shut?

Amid the India–US tariff war, India is not sulking: it is strategising.

The Economic Times (via Reuters) reports that India has drawn up a new export strategy covering nearly 50 countries.

Yes, 50 nations! 🌏🇮🇳

This isn’t just a reaction; it’s realignment.

Outreach is widening to China, the Middle East, and Africa.

Free trade agreements with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland take effect on October 1.

The UK deal comes into force next April. Talks with Oman, Chile, Peru, Australia, New Zealand, and the EU are already finalised.Image

Sector by sector, the shift is clear.

Seafood exports are pivoting to Russia, the UK, the EU, Norway, Switzerland, and South Korea.

For diamonds and jewelry, India is turning to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Africa.

The message?

India is finding tailored markets for each industry, hedging risk, and multiplying opportunity.

What happens when faith cloaks politics?

It’s time to challenge the myth of “tolerant Sufism” with a critical examination, and yes, with receipts.

Sufism, often romanticised as “poetry, peace, and love" or “mystical Islam,” was not always just poetry & whirling dervishes.

Behind the music and mysticism, history shows Sufi orders often acted as Trojan horses - embedding Islam into non-Muslim societies through culture, settlement, and shrines.

It wasn’t just about devotion; it was about expansion.

As J.S. Trimingham (The Sufi Orders in Islam, 1971) explains, Sufi brotherhoods were not just mystical circles but mass organisations with military, political, and economic clout, crucial in the Islamisation of Africa, Anatolia, and Asia.

They offered a “velvet glove” for the iron fist of conquest.

A thread you don't want to miss! 🧵Image
2/10 🧵

Take Bengal. Richard M. Eaton’s The Rise of Islam and the Bengal Frontier, 1204–1760 (1993) is the landmark study here.

He shows how Sufi pirs spearheaded Islamisation by clearing forests, cultivating land, and founding shrines.

Conversion wasn’t sudden or forced - it was a slow transformation tied to settlement.

People entered the economic orbit of the Sufi lodge (khanqah), and gradually, Islam became embedded.

Eaton concludes: Sufis were the “frontier agents” of Islamisation, expanding Muslim presence without armies, but with ploughs and mosques.Image
3/10 🧵

In North India, the Chishti order is celebrated for “tolerance”.

But K.A. Nizami’s studies (The Life and Times of Shaikh Farid-ud-din Ganj-i-Shakar, 1955; Essays on the Chishti Order, 1972) document how Sufis like Moinuddin Chishti and Nizamuddin Auliya worked closely with Delhi Sultans.

Their shrines, like Ajmer Sharif, became political sanctuaries, legitimising rulers and extending Sultanate influence into society.

The saint provided “moral capital,” the ruler gave patronage.

This symbiosis blurred spiritual charisma with political authority, embedding Islamic rule into local culture.Image

🧵 Who was Swami Vivekananda 🪷, and why does his voice still echo across continents, generations, and civilisations?

A young monk from India🇮🇳stunned the West, reawakened the East, and redefined the soul of India.

His words still burn like fire.

Here’s his story. 👇

A thread.Image
1/

Born in 1863 as Narendranath Datta, he was brilliant, rebellious, and deeply spiritual.

He mastered Western philosophy and devoured the Vedas but remained spiritually restless, until he met Sri Ramakrishna, the saint who didn’t preach God; he lived Him.

“Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is the latest and the most perfect incarnation the world has yet seen.”
(The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda - CWSV, Vol. 3)

Renouncing all, he wandered barefoot across India.

He saw a country crushed by poverty but lit by potential.

“Let the common soul awaken,” he believed—not through rituals, but realisation.

He was not content with his own salvation.
His vow: to raise humanity through Vedanta, service, and fearlessness.Image

📍Chicago, 1893. Parliament of Religions

A 30-year-old monk in saffron robes rose and said:

“Sisters and Brothers of America…” (Parliament Address, Sept 11, 1893)

The crowd of 7,000 rose in applause.

“I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.” (ibid.)

He didn't preach superiority—he revealed unity.

Quoting the Upanishads, he introduced Advaita Vedanta: the divine is in all beings.

That day, the West didn’t just hear Hinduism.

It heard the heartbeat of an ancient civilisation—alive, radiant, inclusive.Image

🧵 Why is Erdogan furious at Israel’s strikes in Syria?

It’s not just about Gaza.
It’s about power, Islamism, and the collapse of Turkey’s covert influence.

Let's do a deep dive!

A 10-part thread. 👇

Over the past week, Israel expanded its air campaign beyond Gaza and Lebanon: targeting key sites in Syria, including Suwayda, Hama, and the T4 airbase in Homs.

Israel stated the strikes were in response to threats against the Druze minority and to eliminate extremist factions planning cross-border attacks.

But according to Israeli officials, they were also a clear message to Turkey, which has been quietly embedding itself in Syria militarily and ideologically.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan erupted:

“May my Lord bring ruin and devastation upon Zionist Israel,” he declared after Eid prayers.
Source: Hindustan Times (On TV, Angry Erdogan 'Declares War' On Israel In Syria As Truce Breaks, IDF Bombs Amid Clash) youtube.com/watch?v=daT_kj…

He condemned Israel as a “terrorist state” and accused it of violating Syria’s sovereignty.

Erdogan then affirmed support for Syria’s territorial integrity, but here’s the irony—Turkey has long occupied northern Syria, funded Islamist rebel groups, and sought to install a pro-Ankara order in the region.

His outrage has little to do with peace, and everything to do with a collapsing regional strategy.

1. What’s happening in Syria—and why is the Druze community in danger?

A humanitarian emergency is unfolding. Syria’s Druze minority, along with Coptic Christians and Shia communities, is under siege.

The culprits?

Islamist extremists, specifically Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Jolani, a former Al-Qaeda commander.

A 🧵

2. Who is Abu Muhammad al-Jolani?
Why does he matter?

Jolani was the head of Jabhat al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda’s Syrian branch.

Today, he leads HTS, a jihadi faction that still enforces hardline Islamist rule, despite efforts to rebrand.

His group governs parts of northwest Syria and has a history of persecuting minorities.

Source: Guardian (2024) theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…Image
3. What makes the HTS threat urgent today?

HTS has escalated attacks in recent months, especially in the south (Syria).

Eyewitness reports describe killings, kidnappings, forced disappearances, and religious persecution targeting the Druze and others.

In Suwayda alone, hundreds have been killed in recent weeks.
