Tibetan-Sanskrit Ali Kali alphabet - This art piece was especially created by Tashi Mannox - Tibetan Calligrapher for his solo exhibition ‘The Meditative Scribe’ - Opening reception 6:30 - 8:30 pm Friday 9th Feb and runs until 3rd March 2018. #Repost @tashimannox . Known as the Ali-Kali alphabet, this art piece depicts Tibetan phonetics of the Sanskrit alphabet - Which as a practice, is traditionally followed by the Tibetan alphabet, with other Sanskr...it letters also included and finished with the om yi dharma mantra, known as the Dependant Origination Dharini. . As a yogi or yogini practitioner this Tibetan-Sanskrit alphabet and mantra is chanted as the first speech uttered on waking up considered to purify all prana and speech so that their nature becomes Jnana. . As a nod to my time as a monk, when during a traditional three-year retreat, the practice of this special alphabet and mantra was a daily morning ritual - Within this art piece, I have illustrated the heading character as being held by a Tibetan monastic monk or nun. . The letters of the alphabet are constructed using proportional grid lines of the classical Tibetan Uchen script, which have been left as an example. The intention of using the Uchen script is that it is allegedly based on original Indian Gupta Sanskrit. .
