Hare Kṛṣṇa! :) Very nice. Thank you, I heard that Devanagari symbols represent the position of the mouth required to produce the sound. I cannot find any correlation in between the symbols and the sounds, can you?
Hari Bol, prabhu! Thank you for watching the video! I cannot find any information that would indicate that the Devanagari letters show the position of the mouth from which letter is produced. The fact that there are many letters in the Devanagari alphabet which look similar to each other but are far away from each other in the alphabet is proof of that. For example, gha (guttural; 4th consonant) vs. dha (dental, 19th consonant). Another instance is ka (guttural; 1st consonant) vs. pha (labial; 22nd consonant). In fact, in the upcoming lessons, I highlight the look-alike letters when there is potential for errors to occur for students.

Interesting how the letters for o and au are an extension of those for a and aa
Why is it not "au"?
