1. A polyglot (person fluent across multiple standard written/spoken known languages) who also has an innate ability to perceive, translate, and communicate across a broad spectrum of diverse non-verbal systems.
2. Each Darshaglot's gifts
will vary, but known systems include the language of music, the language of flowers, the language of plants and gardens, the language of design,
human body language, the language of animals (pets and non-pets), the Love Languages. Individuals that have synesthesia would often be considered Darshaglots.
3. A Darshaglot is gifted with the ability to translate both the unspoken and spoken, and in doing so, elevates communication abilities as well as
knowledge creation and acquisition into a
single, interconnected mother tongue.
4. Etymology: Darshana (Sanskrit for "system of seeing/vision") + Glot (Greek for "tongue/speaker"). The Meaning: A person who speaks through multiple philosophical frameworks. The Sanskrit word Darshana implies a "holy sight" or a
deep internal shift in how one perceives
reality, thus, a Darshaglot doesn't just translate
words. A Darshaglot translates the very "vision" of a thing—whether that vision is expressed through a piano concerto or the arrangement of a bouquet.
5. The energy of this level of communication harkens back to
something ancient, spiritual, and deeply perceptive.
Everyone knew there was something special about Maya. It was more than her knack for languages (she spoke six before she was 10). She seemed to see and perceive a subscript to all existence—even silence—that no one else seemed to even know was there. Then one
day she told us, "I'm a Darshaglot," and explained it. "
Everything is
like a language," she said. "It's all telling me a story."
