NAD AND BIND
Indian philosophy gives a significant position to the sound. Saivism, one of the prominent branches of Indian religious philosophy, put forward the key phonematic representations as Nada and Bindu. Saivite doctrines of monism and dualism differs each other with regard to the nature and function of sound. Here is an attempt to analyze the earliest dualistic Saiva text- Tirumantiram in connection with the discussion of the aforementioned vital sound principles.
According to him Nada is an unstruck (anahata), almost unmanifest, sound (dhvani) for there the phonemes are not differentiated. Sometimes it is referred to by the term phoneme
(varna), as Abhinavagupta says:
Later it forms the basis of the nath jogis for the self enlightenment and kundlini jagran

Nada is also considered to be as cit, the level of Sadasiva: the ontic level, where the phonematic emanation is projected into the energy and where consonants begin to arise.
“From Sakti, in effect, the sound energy becomes first Nadanta, then Nada, then Nirodhini, next comes Bindu, itself preceeding ardhacandra Bindu is one of the most significant terms in the speculations about the word and energy.Later it forms the basis of the nath jogis for the self enlightenment and kundlini jagran
