The Role of Sanskrit in Preserving Yogic Knowledge: Language as Sacred Technology

Abstract

This paper examines the unique role of Sanskrit as both a linguistic medium and sacred technology in preserving and transmitting yogic knowledge across millennia. Through analysis of phonetic structures, semantic precision, and consciousness-based transmission methods, this research demonstrates how Sanskrit functions beyond conventional language to encode multidimensional aspects of yogic experience. The study explores the relationship between sound vibration, meaning, and consciousness in Sanskrit texts, revealing how the language itself serves as a vehicle for spiritual transformation. Findings indicate that Sanskrit's preservation of yogic knowledge operates through multiple layers of encoding, including phonetic resonance, semantic depth, and contemplative practices that maintain the living transmission of ancient wisdom.
