Sam means together, all, or all together. Krita is do. Sanskrit is the language that we all do together. It is a language based on the intrinsic, or innate vibration of existence.

Its alphabet is made up of "aksharas" which means indestructible, or without end. Sanskrit can also be translated as "put together." In modern language, we have a connotated symbol (words) that denotes an object. For instance, the word "dog" is the connotation for the denotative object that is a furry animal with a wagging tail. The relationship between the word, "dog" and the actual animal is arbitrary.

Science tells us that everything in existence is vibrating at a molecular level. Every vibration creates a sound. Sanskrit is a language that is based on the intrinsic vibration of the object. In other words, the object and the name of the object share the same vibration.

Kashyapa Sutra Bija Mantras

Human emotions can be correlated to specific sanskrit bija mantras. In the Kashyapa Sutra, we learn the secret of how to transform negative emotions into positive ones through the repetition of mantras.
