Indian way of thinking from a metaphysical and religious perspective examines language in connection with thinking. Grammarians have found ways to define the essence of the Word, thus building up Grammar and Language Philosophy.Panini's grammar reviews not only basic linguistic structures, but also Man's intrinsic pattern. Panini's followers, especially Bhartrhari, reveal a soteriological dimension of grammar.This philosophical trait of the Word on which Sphota theory is based indicates that the mere Sphota represents the basic structure of consciousness. Sphota concept lies at the heart of contemporary Language Philosophy.
