Sanskrit : The Mother of All Languages , Divine Language of Ancient World & Sanskrit is The Best Computer Friendly Language
The thought that languages are the soul of a nation would only help to unite and cement the bonding and feeling of belongingness. No country in the world comes close to matching the linguistic diversity of India just the number of ‘mother tongues’ in the country.
Languages are linked to each other by shared words or sounds or grammatical constructions. All Indian scripts come from the same script Brahmi. Writing came much later to India than to other parts of the world. Hence, both Tamil and Sanskrit have extremely strong oral traditions. The Sanskrit language is called Devbhasha. The theory is that the members of each linguistic group have descended from one language, a common ancestor.
Hindi (mother language from Sanskrit) is so concocted language and has progressively subsumed many original languages by classifying them as 'dialects'. Language is an ever lasting emotion. It seems we feel much comfort when we communicate in our mother tongue (Native language).
Bharatiya languages have been in existence and use for many centuries, and are well established. Their uniqueness lies in their originality, authenticity in terms of structure/grammar, richness in content and meaning belongs to Sanskrit. All Indian languages fall into one of these 4 groups; Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Sino-Tibetan and Afro-Asiatic. Sanskrit is classical language of South Asia that belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages.
Sanskrit is also widely used in Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism. Hindi was known by different names at different stages of its evolution in different eras. It was known as Apabhramsa at its earliest stage. Sanskrit is most logical language which follows a well structured grammar system using separate tenses for one person, two persons and multiple persons.
Quantum physics has now revealed to us, anything and everything consists of vibration. It is said that the language of Sanskrit itself arises from these vary root sounds or vibrations of the Universe.

Sanskrit is a language which is used as Speech Therapy. Sanskrit has five different classes of word: Kanthya (Spoken from throat), Talavya (Spoken while touching tongue to jaw), Dantya (Spoken while touching tongue to teeth), Murdhanya (Spoken by twisting tongue), Ostya (Spoken by lips). Sanskrit basic root facts are :
Phonetics: The swaras and vyanjanas are organized based on how the voice is produced by the respiratory system and the organs of the mouth that interact to produce that sound. Eg Dental: त थ द ध न, Bilabial: प फ ब भ म
Grammar: The grammar is mostly mathematical, hence consistent, intutive and with minimal exceptions. No wonder it's the ideal language to program in, it's a scientific fact.
Script: Though it is now written in various scripts, but the Devnagri script, which is most followed, has helped derive numerous other alphabets.
Vocabulary: You'd be well aware of a lot of common English words that have a Sanskrit root. Reverse order of words in a sentence doesn't change meaning. Ramasya pustaka = book of Rama. Pustaka ramasya also means the same. Every word has a derivative meaning. Putra = pum Nama narakat trayathe putra. No swear words in Sanskrit.
Emphasis on pronunciation. Its the same for anyone. Unlike other languages which have different pronounciations for dialect or accent, there's no such thing for sanskrit. Sanskrit is a magical language. There is no need of particular sentence structure for Sanskrit.
Ex:- I am writing an answer. But in Sanskrit there is no need for particular structure.
अहं उत्तरम् लिखामि (I am writing an Answer.)
लिखामि अहं उत्तरम् (I am writing an Answer.)
अहं लिखामि उत्तरम् (I am writing an Answer.) .

Magha was a great Sanskrit Poet and Author. He was an expert in writing a whole Sloka with one-two-three-four consonants. Here is just an example from his book Shishupala Vadha:- In 144th stanza, he writes whole sloka with only one consonant.
दाददो दुद्ददुद्दादी दाददो दूददीददोः ।
दुद्दादं दददे दुद्दे दादाददददोऽददः ॥
(Translation:- Sri Krishna, the giver of every boon, the scourge of the evil-minded, the purifier, the one whose arms can annihilate the wicked who cause suffering to others, shot his pain-causing arrow at the enemy.)
Also, he was an expert in writing palindromes. He writes in 44th stanza:-
वारणागगभीरा सा साराभीगगणारवा ।
कारितारिवधा सेना नासेधा वारितारिका ॥
(Translation:- It is very difficult to face this army which is endowed with elephants as big as mountains. This is a very great army and the shouting of frightened people is heard. It has slain its enemies.)
The book "Sri Raghava Yadhaveeyam" is written in such a way that you will enjoy the story of Rama when you read it in forward way while you will enjoy the story of Krishna when you read it from backward.

वन्देऽहं देवं तं श्रीतं रन्तारं कालं भासा यः ।
रामो रामाधीराप्यागो लीलामारायोध्ये वासे ॥
(Translation:- I pay my obeisance to Bhagwan Shri Rama, who with his heart pining for Sita, travelled across the Sahyadri Hills and returned to Ayodhya after killing Ravana and sported with his consort, Sita, in Ayodhya for a long time.)
Backward:-
सेवाध्येयो रामालाली गोप्याराधी मारामोरा ।
यस्साभालंकारं तारं तं श्रीतं वन्देहं देवं ॥
(Translation:- I bow to Bhagwan Shri Krishna, whose chest is the sporting resort of Shri Lakshmi; who is fit to be contemplated through penance and sacrifice, who fondles Rukmani and his other consorts and who is worshipped by the gopis, and who is decked with jewels radiating splendour)

Each planet relates to a certain type of sound in the alphabet;
To the Sun belong the vowels. Vowels traditionally represent the spirit, soul our inner Self as they can be pronounced without the aid of consonants. In Sanskrit there are sixteen vowels: अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ए ऐ ओ औ, ऋ, अं ...
The Moon governs the semi-vowels and spirants (s and h sounds). These are intermediate between vowels and consonants in their quality. There are nine of these: य र ल व श ष स ह
Of the two groups the semi-vowels generally govern the prime elements. Earth-lam, Water-vam, Fire-ram, Air-yam, Ether-ham, and the five corresponding chakras of the subtle body, from the root or muladhara chakra to the throat.
The Sanskrit letter S governs inhalation, and the letter H governs exhalation. The letter S also governs time or duration, and the letter H governs space or prana (life-force).
Mars is said to govern the five gutturals (pronounced in the region of the throat): क ख ग घ न Venus is said to govern the five palatal consonants (pronounced in the region of the soft palate): च छ ज झ ञ
Mercury is said to govern the five cerebral consonants (pronounced with the tongue curled back toward the roof of the mouth): ट ठ ड ढ ण
Jupiter is said to govern the five dental consonants (pronounced with the tongue against the teeth): त थ द ध न
Saturn is said to govern the five labial consonants (pronounced using the lips): प फ ब भ म
Overall, the Sun represents the sixteen vowels, the Moon the nine semi-vowels and spirants, and the five planets represent the five sets of consonants (five each), making up the fifty letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. These sets of sounds are also related to the elements. The Mars group governs fire, the Venus group water, the Mercury group earth, the Jupiter group ether and the Saturn group air.

There is language called Pali which is said to have natural origin that has many phonetics which resembles to the natural sound emerging from any living being. Each corner of Akhand Bharat is witnessing that their common conversing language was their own local dilect. Where was Sanskrit then. Moreover,the word ऋ has added to the Indian language very recent. There is no trace of this alphabet in pali-Brahmi.
Sanskrit has been identified as the most suitable programming languages for computers to understand. Research is going on to make a programming language in Sanskrit which can be compiled and executed million times faster than other programming languages. Sanskrit is supposed to belong to the same family as Latin. That is why there are many words ending in ‘um’ in both languages.
Sanskrit is the state language of Uttarakhand. Kannada language has the second oldest written tradition of all vernacular languages of India and Tamil following Third. More than a thousand notable Rishis (ancient writers) have contributed to the wealth of the language. In Mattur village in Karnataka, people speak in Sanskrit to each other.
Sanskrit is the most technology advanced computer friendly language. About 14 universities in Germany offer Sanskrit as a subject. NASA scientist Rick Briggs said that Sanskrit is the only unambiguous language in existence. Sadly, it needs to be revived. Researchers, scholars & scientists have recently found that Sanskrit could be or is by far the best language for Computers, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence development. Shorter the algorithm, faster it can run and Sanskrit does that. Maybe it will help to decode Master algorithms and solve various mysteries of life on earth or in space.
Govt of India has awarded the distinction of classical language to Tamil, Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Odia due to their long history of 1500-2000 years. The 120 Languages of India with speakers of about 10000 different ascent sub-linked visualized. All European languages seem inspired by Sanskrit. All the universities and educational institutions spread across the world consider Sanskrit as the most ancient language. सा मां पुनातु इति अन्वयः
SANSKRIT WORDS IN TAMIL - · SANSKRIT WORDS IN TAMIL , TAMIL SENTENCES (WORDS OF SANSKRIT ORIGIN, HIGHLIGHTED IN BOLD) TAMIL WORD WITH SANSKRIT ROOTS HINDI EQUIVALENT MEANING
The finger names in sanskrit are, Thumb is called Angushtha , Pointing finger is called Tarjani,Middle finger is Madhyama, Ring finger is Anamika and the Smallest finger is called Kanishtika.
Mudra is a Sanskrit word meaning a sign– mud (joy) and ra (to produce). The five fingers represent the five elements of the human body: Thumb - fire ,Index finger-Varuna(Air) Middle finger- Akasha(Space), Ring finger -Prithvi (Earth), Little Finger -Jal(Water). Practitioners believe that when the finger representing a particular element is brought into contact with the thumb, that element is brought into balance, creating a stabilizing effect on the entire body. Mudras start electromagnetic currents in the body, create balance and promote health. Regular practice of these mudras can help create a balance between these five elements in the body.
*Sanskrit is the Divine mother language of the world * " Sanskrit words are found in all the languages of the world and this situation itself proves that Sanskrit was the mother language of the world. "
The Origin of Sanskrit : The one which is introduced or produced in its perfect form is called Sanskrit. The word Sanskrit is formed from “sam + krit” where (sam) prefix means (samyak) ‘entirely’ or ‘wholly’ or ‘perfectly,’ and krit means ‘done.’ Sanskrit was first introduced by Brahma to the Sages of the celestial abodes and it is still the language of the celestial abode, so it is also called the Dev Vani.
Sanskrit was introduced on the earth planet, by the eternal Sages of Sanatan Dharm along with the Divine scriptures such as the Vedas, the Upnishads and the Puranas. A famous verse in Sage Panini’s Ashtadhyayi tells that the Panini grammar that is in use now is directly Graced by God Shiv.
Once, at the end of His Divine ecstatic dance induced by the enthralling effects of Krishn love, God Shiv played on His damru (the mini hand-drum which God Shiv holds in His hand). Fourteen very distinct sounds came out of it. Sage Panini conceived them in his Divine mind and on the basis of those Divine sounds, reestablished the science of Sanskrit grammar which already eternally existed.
Since the start of human civilization on the earth, people and the Sages both spoke pure Sanskrit language. The historical records indicate that three public programs of the recitation of the Bhagwatam and the discourses on Krishn leelas had happened in Sanskrit language in 3072 BC, 2872 BC and 2842 BC in which Saints and the devotees participated. Later on when the population increased, the prakrit form of speech with partly mispronounced words (called apbhranshas) was developed in the less educated society and became popular.
The Manu Smriti says that the ambitious chatriyas of Bharatvarsh went abroad to the neighboring countries to establish their new kingdoms and, as they were cut off from the mainstream of the Bhartiya civilization and culture, they developed their own language and civilization as time went on. Natural calamities (such as ice ages) totally shattered their civilizations but still the survivors, in the spoken form of their primitive languages, held many apbhransh words of the original Sanskrit language which their remote ancestors had retained in their memory. As a result of this affiliation with Bhartiya culture and the Sanskrit language, Sanskrit became the origin of the growth of the literary development in other languages of the world.
The phonology (the speech sound) and morphology (the science of word formation) of the Sanskrit language is entirely different from all of the languages of the world. Some of the unique features of Sanskrit are:
1. The sound of each of the 36 consonants and the 16 vowels of Sanskrit are fixed and precise since the very beginning. They were never changed, altered, improved or modified. All the words of the Sanskrit language always had the same pronunciation as they have today. There was no ‘sound shift,’ no change in the vowel system, and no addition was ever made in the grammar of the Sanskrit in relation to the formation of the words. The reason is its absolute perfection by its own nature and formation, because it was the first language of the world.
2. The morphology of word formation is unique and of its own kind where a word is formed from a tiny seed root (called dhatu) in a precise grammatical order which has been the same since the very beginning. Any number of desired words could be created through its root words and the prefix and suffix system as detailed in the Ashtadhyayi of Panini. Furthermore, 90 forms of each verb and 21 forms of each noun or pronoun could be formed that could be used in any situation.
3. There has never been any kind, class or nature of change in the science of Sanskrit grammar as seen in other languages of the world as they passed through one stage to another.
4. The perfect form of the Vedic Sanskrit language had already existed thousands of years earlier even before the infancy of the earliest prime languages of the world like Greek, Hebrew and Latin etc.
5. When a language is spoken by unqualified people the pronunciation of the word changes to some extent; and when these words travel by word of mouth to another region of the land, with the gap of some generations, it permanently changes its form and shape to some extent. Just like the Sanskrit word matri, with a long ‘a’ and soft ‘t,’ became mater in Greek and mother in English. The last two words are called the ‘apbhransh’ of the original Sanskrit word ‘matri.’ Such apbhranshas of Sanskrit words are found in all the languages of the world and this situation itself proves that Sanskrit was the mother language of the world.
Considering all the five points as explained above, it is quite evident that Sanskrit is the source of all the languages of the world and not a derivation of any language. As such, Sanskrit is the Divine mother language of the world.
Uniqueness of Hindustani (Bharatiya / Indian) Languages
No country in the world comes close to matching the linguistic diversity of Bharat just the number of ‘mother tongues’ in the country. Languages are linked to each other by shared words or sounds or grammatical constructions.
Any language used by us is a tool. A tool to communicate our ideas to the world. Until and unless you know your language you cannot portray your idea to the world. The best language to use in any work, mundane or magic is the language that you have always spoken ‘Your Mother Tongue‘.
All Hindustani ( Bharatiya / Indian) scripts come from the same script Brahmi. Writing came much later to Hindustan than to other parts of the world. Hence, both Sanskrit & Tamil have extremely strong oral traditions. As far as the sentence is concerned the letters have no meaning in themselves. As the letters are formed into words, they begin to take on individual meaning as well as pronouncement.
Panini and Yaska are the two celebrated ancient scholars of Vyakaran; both are dated to several centuries prior to the start of the common era, with Panini likely from the fifth century BCE. Panini's Astadhyayi is the most important surviving text of the Vyakaran traditions.
Before the British rule, Gurukuls were the preferred form of education in Bharat. Sanskrit was taught in Gurukul in ancient Bharat . After indepth studies of human voice and language, Vedic Rishis successfully mapped the atoms of human voice and invented a phonetic script. Since every word generated by a human voice is nothing but the manipulation of these phones or alphabets, Vedic Rishis focused on evolving a regulatory system for alphabet processing which led to evolution of one of the greatest science called Sanskrit grammar.

All Indian languages fall into one of these 4 groups; Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Sino-Tibetan and Afro-Asiatic. Hindi was known by different names at different stages of its evolution in different eras. It was known as Apabhramsa at its earliest stage. Twenty two of the 780 languages are scheduled Indian languages. Of them, 122 have been declared by the census as spoken by a population exceeding 10,000.
The official language of India is Hindi and 22 languages, which have been referred to as scheduled languages and given recognition, status and official encouragement, these languages are Sanskrit , Assamese, Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, Kashmiri, Kannada, Konkani, Manipuri, Marathi, Malayalam, Odia, Nepali, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Bodo, Urdu, Sindhi, Santali, Marathi, and Dogri. The Govt of India has awarded the distinction of classical language to Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, and Odia due to their long history of 1500-2000 years.
The theory is that the members of each linguistic group have descended from one language, a common ancestor. Hindi (mother language from Sanskrit) is so concocted language and has progressively subsumed many original languages by classifying them as 'dialects'. Language is an ever lasting emotion. It seems we feel much comfort when we communicate in our mother tongue (Native language). Indian languages have been in existence and use for many centuries, and are well established. Their uniqueness lies in their originality, authenticity in terms of structure/grammar, richness in content and meaning belongs to Sanskrit.
Over 970 million people in the world speak Hindi. 52.83 crore speakers (43.63% of the total population) of India speaks Hindi. Hindi is also spoken in countries with large Hindi communities, such as the US, Mauritius, Yemen, Uganda, Singapore, Pakistan, Nepal and New Zealand. Hindi is a minority language in South Africa. Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu) is an official language in Fiji, along with English and Fijian.
Bengali have about 250 million and Punjabi 120 million speakers respectively worldwide, ahead of popular languages like German and French, while the other top scheduled languages (Bengali, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil and Odia etc.) accounted for over a quarter of the population. Around 96.7% of the population listed one of the 22 scheduled languages as their mother tongue and 3.1% named one of the non-scheduled languages. The extinct and endangered languages of the Andaman islands form a fifth family. However, the mother tongues listed by 0.2% of the population were lumped under “Other Languages”.
Indian Scripts are well developed and easy to learn with respect to Chinese or Russian or European non English languages. More importantly Indian languages (like other non-Hindi languages in India) have incorporated Sanskrit words in their languages although in varying proportions. They are easy to learn if you put your heart and mind to them.
One of the most fascinating aspects about Indian civilization is the commonality we can find within, despite all the differences amidst the wide diversity. When it comes to traditions, clothes, etc, it is easy to observe such commonality, through mass media including movies, but there is one aspect which simply cannot be observed but has to be experienced, in order to acknowledge it, and that is: Indian Food.
Yes, with just a handful of ingredients, it is so interesting to find that they have all evolved into various forms throughout the subcontinent. For example, when Kannadigas fermented batter and steamed it, they turned it into idli, whereas on the other hand, Gujaratis took the same thing and added a few spices with turmeric and turned it into dhokla.
Malayalis kneaded atta/maida into layers and turned it into malabar parotta, whereas Punjabis, situated 2000 kms away, kneaded the same ingredients and turned it into lachha paratha. Marathis rolled their dough and fried it in oil to turn it into puri, whereas those in the plains rolled it harder to make larger circular dough and turned it into bhatura. Different forms, different textures, different flavors, different tastes, but deep down, they are all from similar ingredients and similar methodologies.
Language is a system invented by humans to reflect the way our brains processes knowledge and learning. So, language is the ultimate human system. When the words are formed into a sentence, they take on relative meaning. From a base of 49 letters, we can create infinite words, sentences, paragraphs, articles and books to represent everything we can see, hear, taste, smell, touch, think and do. We call it language.
Language is the ultimate system because it is reflective of other systems. We can represent language with words alone or we can create graphics and other visualizations to manage language beyond grammatical constructions. If we backtrack a little, letters are visual representation of sounds. So, language is a product of the sounds we use to communicate. We communicate through systems of sounds and gestures that accent sounds and can stand alone in the absence of sound.
Visualization, in the simplest form, shows connections between two groups of words. We can create more groups of words and interconnect them to represent more and more complex systems of words. While language is a product of sound, managing language is largely a product of sight or the visualization of systems. Sight is the manifestation of visual electromagnetic energy.
Everything we see is a form of electromagnetic energy - size, shape, motion, order, dependency, and insight (which is the way our brains generate its own visual images). Sight also reflects representation and relationship among the things we see. Sight also reflects the connections and disconnections of what we observe.
All systems are reflection of visual language. We manage systems by managing language, whether in grammatical form or in combinations of grammar and diagrams. We live and learn through systems, and we think by systems from the simple to the complex. The brain is the ultimate system - our language management tool. We need to know how to use it efficiently and effectively. Language reflects culture and knowing the local culture was very much a part of learning the language.
There are two parts to learning language. One is the culture on which the language is based. The other is the literacy associated with that culture. We can learn the language without the literacy but we can’t learn the literacy without the language. We have to be able to talk about what we are writing down before we can write it down. This not only applied to the local culture, but also the college culture and the culture of the educational or training program the students would be studying at the college.
Converting occupational and professional cultures into literacy was my business, but how do we learn an “enabling” culture and the associated literacy. While there is controversy over whether or not parts of the brain are associated with the different aspects of mental action, it is helpful to think along those lines from a literacy perspective. To symbolize the language of the culture it is useful to first symbolize the action of the brain because different parts of the brain most likely play different roles in the literacy process.
While this assumption may be questioned, it is useful in practice. When we learn language, the whole brain kicks in, in a very integrated way, but when we learn literacy, the brain has to break the language down so that we can convert it into symbolic words, sentences, and comprehensive structures.
What the brain sees it categorizes into systems. Literacy is the visual categorization of systems of symbols. Obviously we are born with the capacity do this with language, but is literacy an imposition on the natural brain. It probably is because it doesn’t come naturally. So, becoming literate is having the ability to categorize visual symbols. We can do it randomly and haphazardly or we can do it orderly and systematically.
This is something which cannot be described in mere words but has to be experienced especially during younger days, which will eventually help youngsters understand how we as a civilization, have thrived as a cohesive entity despite all the differences, because deep down, just like our foods, we are also all the same. The Vedic Saṃskṛtam spread in India resulting in Punjabi (west), Hindi (center), Bengali (east), Gujarati (west), and Marathi (south). Sanskrit is supposed to belong to the same family as Latin. That is why there are many words ending in ‘um’ in both languages.

NASA scientist Rick Briggs once said that Sanskrit is the only unambiguous language in existence. Sanskrit is the most technology advanced computer friendly language. About 14 universities in Germany offer Sanskrit as a subject. Sanskrit uses many synonyms for each subject. For instance, there are 100 synonyms for the word ‘elephant.’ Sanskrit is the state language of Uttarakhand. Kannada language has the second oldest written tradition of all vernacular languages of India. More than a thousand notable writers have contributed to the wealth of the language. In Mattur village in Karnataka, people speak in Sanskrit to each other.

In Malayalam, the language spoken in the southern Indian state of Kerala, is the longest palindrome (a word that reads the same backwards and forwards) in the English language? Did you know around 99% of Urdu verbs have their roots in Sanskrit and Prakrit George Bush, former President of the USA, had allocated a budget of $114 million for teaching Hindi in the US. Brahui is a Dravidian language, with its roots in India, spoken by approximately 1 million people in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
There are around 7000 spoken languages in the world and about 300 writing systems. The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish. Standard Chinese (Mandarin) is the most widely spoken language in the world, followed by Hindi, Spanish, English, Arabic, Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, Marathi, Panjabi, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Telugu.
Stunning Facts About Sanskrit :
UNO confirmed that Sanskrit is the Mother of all languages. About 97% of world languages have been directly or indirectly influenced by this language. If you master Sanskrit language, you can learn any language in the world very easily. Most efficient and best algorithms for computer have been made in Sanskrit not in english. USA, Germany and France are working on several projects to devise programmes that can drive devices based on Sanskrit. By the start of 2021, you will find several devices having backend software of Sanskrit and simple commands like “send”, “receive”, “go”, “move” in actual Sanskrit language.
Our own ancient language Sanskrit that made the world a harmonious place several centuries ago will soon become language of future – controlling the futuristic bots and gesture devices.
Sanskrit had some major advantages that amazes scientists and language researchers, some even deeming it as divine language for being so pure and pious. Sanskrit also decodes the real meaning hidden behind several hymns of Vedas and Puranas.
Astonishing Realities of Sanskrit that can Surprise You :
The oldest texts in Sanskrit (the Vedas) are among the oldest in the world, and are believed to have been orally preserved unchanged for more than 2 millennia at least, despite not having been written down for more than a thousand years.
The attention paid to language in Sanskrit (study of grammar, phonetics, etc.) was unprecedented outside until almost the 20th century. The modern fields of historical linguistics/comparative linguistics, and ultimately much of the interest in linguistics owes its origin to the excitement at having “discovered” Sanskrit; and big names in linguistics like Chomsky and Kiparsky have acknowledged Pāṇini as an influence.
Poetry in Sanskrit is extraordinarily diverse, with over 100 common meters, and books of prosody listing over 600 meters. Its literature includes works of dazzling complexity, including works that tell several stories at once using puns, works that contain words several lines long, brilliant examples of constrained writing, etc.

Sanskrit is the “mother” of the most languages of Bharat and even the Romani language of the Romani people (“Gypsies”). Even biased theorists of fake Aryan invasion who kept ridiculing Hindu texts, gave credit to Sanskrit after they did research and found it to be the source of all languages, the Indo-Aryan languages evolved from Middle Indo-Aryan languages, which in turn evolved from Old Indo-Aryan = Sanskrit). Moreover, even the Dravidian languages (Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and to quite some extent Tamil), which have their origins in Sanskrit have borrowed such a large proportion of their vocabulary from Sanskrit that it could well be called their foster mother.
The Sanskrit’s sphere of influence extended all the way to South-East Asia (what is now Laos, Cambodia, etc.), without any invasion or forceful conversion or use of military power originating from Bharat .
Though the importance of Sanskrit has diminished significantly in the last few centuries due to invasion in India, it is far from a dead language: Sanskrit literature continues to thrive and flourish, with novels, short stories, essays and epic poems continuing to be written, and its authors picking up several literary awards (including highly regarded Jnanpith award in 2006).

Some More Mind Blowing Facts on Sanskrit
There are more teachers of Sanskrit in India than combined learners of USA, France and Germany.
Encrypting the value of pi in a shloka: There is a numbering system in Sanskrit called the Katapayadi system. This system ascribes a number to every letter or alphabet in the script, on which the ASCII system in computer science is based. When the letter in the following shloka is replaced with their corresponding number from the Katapayadi Sankhya, we get the value of pi accurate to 31 digits.

The language is rich in most advanced science, contained in their books called Vedas, Upanishads, Shruti, Smriti, Puranas, Mahabharata, Ramayana etc. (Ref: Russian State University, NASA etc. NASA possesses 60,000 palm leaf manuscripts, which they are studying.)
Learning of Sanskrit improves brain functioning. Students start getting better marks in other subjects like Mathematics, Science etc., which some people find difficult. It enhances the memory power. James Junior School, London, has made Sanskrit compulsory. Students of this school are among the toppers year after year. This has been followed by some schools in Ireland also.

Sanskrit is the scholarly language of 3 major World religions – Hinduism, Buddhism (along with Pali) and Jainism (second to Prakrit).
Today, there are a handful of Indian villages (in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh) where Sanskrit is still spoken as the main language. For example in the village of Mathur in Karnataka, more than 90% of the population knows Sanskrit. Mathur/Mattur is a village 10 kms from Shimoga speaks Sanskrit on daily basis (day-to-day communication).
Even a Sanskrit daily newspaper exists! Sudharma, published out of Mysore, has been running since 1970 and is now available online as an e-paper (sudharma.epapertoday.com)!
The best type of calendar being used is hindu calendar(as the new year starts with the geological change of the solar system)
he UK is presently researching on a defence system based on Hindu’s shri chakra.
Another interesting fact about Sanskrit language was that the process of introducing new words into the language continued for a long period until it was stopped by the great grammarian Panini who wrote an entire grammar for the language laying down rules for the derivation of each and every word in Sanskrit and disallowed the introducing of new words by giving a full list of Roots and Nouns. Even after Panini, some changes occur which were regularised by Vararuchi and finally by Patanjali. Any infringement of the rules as laid down by Patanjali was regarded as a grammatical error and hence the Sanskrit Language has remained in same without any change from the date of Patanjali (about 250 B.C.) up to this day.
The Sanskrit language also, like the literature collected in it, falls into two major divisions:
(1) The Vedic Sanskrit and
(2) The Classical Sanskrit.
Within the Vedic language itself, various stages of development can be found. After undergoing several changes the vedic language finally merged itself into the classical Sanskrit. Though there is much dissimilarity between the Vedic and Classical Sanskrit, the phonetic conditions are almost the same. As regards the difference, many old words are lost and new words have come in. Certain words have changed their meaning and new derivations have been introduced. Differences can be noticed in grammatical forms too.
The Vedic Period which lasted from 4000 or 3000 B.C and the Classical Period which had its beginning around 600 B.C., went concurrently with the last stage of the Vedic Period and practically ended at about 1100 A.D. In a sense, it can be said that the Classical period as extended up to modern times ever since many works in almost all branches of learning have been written even after 1100 A.D up to this day though these are mostly in the form of explanation and criticism of the earlier works.
Sanskrit is the only language in the world that exists since millions of years. Millions of languages that emerged from Sanskrit are dead and millions will come but Sanskrit will remain eternal. It is truly language of Bhagwan.
Interesting information, Hindus in Australia, very long ago.
The word 'Australia' has no meaning in any other language but in Sanskrit. During the times of Ramayana and Mahabharata, Australia was known as 'Astralaya'. (astra + alaya - meaning The home of the Weapons) similar as Himalaya (Him + Alaya - meaning the home of Ice in Sanskrit).
Ancient Indian used this isolated island as the testing ground of their Astras. The radiation in that place was so intense that it resulted in the evolution (mutation) of some of the unusual creatures that you don't find anywhere else in the world. That is why the central part of Australia is all deserts and nothing grows there
It's possible that a structure mentioned in the Indian Scripture, the Ramayana, is really the Gympie Pyramid located close to Brisbane in Australia.
'Goddess' Sita, the wife of the Vedic 'god' Lord Rama is abducted by the (Sri) Lankan Celestial ruler Ravana. Plans are made to send search parties in four directions. As the strategy is devised, Sage Valmiki, the author, describes the route that each of the parties is instructed to take in their search for Sita. Of the places mentioned along the route that the search party headed east of India is to take, the first one that is easily identifiable is Java. It is referred to as 'Yava Dvipam' (or the Yava Island). Here is the actual verse from the Valmiki Ramayana (4-40-30).
यत्नवन्तो यव द्वीपम् सप्त राज्य उपशोभितम् |
सुवर्ण रूप्यकम् द्वीपम् सुवर्ण आकर मण्डितम् || 4-40-30
Found were two figurines one Ganesha and one Mahadevi [ Parvati] ...and in Ramayana the island mentioned in the verse is most probably in the region where the Fraser Island because immediately following the verse about the 'Shalmali tree on an island', comes the mention of 'a gigantic, peak like structure' resembling 'Kailasha'. (Verse 4-40-40). This structure is the Gympie Pyramid!
The peak like structure, says the Ramayana, was built by Vishwakarma, a 'celestial' architect, responsible for the construction of many gigantic cities and structures (probably the megaliths) around the world. The Ramayana also says that the structure or the mansion belongs to 'Garuda', the offspring of 'Vinata'. (The Kailasha is a peak in the Himalayan Range, and is a pilgrimage point for Hindus to this day). Here is the verse:
गृहम् च वैनतेयस्य नाना रत्न विभूषितम् |
तत्र कैलास संकाशम् विहितम् विश्वकर्मणा || ४-४०-४०
(There built by Vishwakarma, peak like, gigantic, resembling Kailasha, is the mansion of Vinata's offspring.) 4-40-40
The only land that one can reach after crossing an ocean further east of Java and Indonesia is Australia and the Polynesian Islands beyond it, and the structure is possibly the Gympie Pyramid unless there is another 'peak' like ancient structure in this huge area. The Gympie pyramid site in Queensland is about 120 Km away from Fraser island. The author then says that after one passes this gigantic structure, one will see a shore which is white and shaped like a necklace. This is probably the coast off the shores of Brisbane.
Sanskrit seems to be one of the basic languages of the world, most languages have some Sanskrit in them.
The fact that austral, means south in Latin languages does not means, there is not Sanskrit influence, since there is some evidence the first, original and base language is Sanskrit.
Bharat Ratna Dr Babashaheb Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar wanted Sanskrit as official language’
SANSKRIT is one of the greatest languages of the world. Though many would think it to be dead language, it is very much alive because a large number of people use it for communication even today.
Chamu Krishana Shastry, 47, is among the distinguished scholars who have devoted their life to promote the language. Shastry heads Sanskrit Bharati which he set up in 1981 in Delhi to teach Sanskrit to students of all ages. He spoke to RC Ganjoo about his love for the language and his mission. Excerpts: What made you take up promotion of Sanskrit among the young?
It is an admitted fact that Sanskrit is the most scientific language. It promotes scientific temper.
It is said that Sanskrit is the language of a particular religion`85
Sanskrit was appreciated by some of the Muslim rulers of India who patronised it, and, in some cases (as in Bengal and Gujarat), had their epigraphic records inscribed in Sanskrit. It was the scientific and secular aspect of Sanskrit that made the Arabs welcome Indian scholars to Baghdad to discourse on sciences and to translate books in these subjects into Arabic.
In the days of Buddhists studies in China, when Indian Sanskrit scholars were translating Buddhist texts into Chinese with the help of boards of local scholars, there existed a school of Sanskrit studies in China.
A large mass of literature in Sanskrit was not produced by any particular community.Several instances can be quoted of non-Brahmin and non-Hindu authors who have made significant contribution to Sanskrit literature. In Karnataka, 300 Sanskrit schools are being run by non-Brahmins.
What is to be done to promote this language?
It is necessary that there should be a full and free study of Sanskrit in India to enable us to understand its net contribution to general philosophical thought and science.
Interestingly, Dr Ambedkar himself wanted to sponsor Sanskrit as the official language of the Indian union along with his supporters Dr BV Keskar, deputy minister for external affairs, and Naziruddin Ahmed. He moved an amendment draft on September 10, 1949. The resolution had to be withdrawn due to political pressure. Our demand is Sanskrit should be treated at par with modern Indian languages of the Eighth Schedule and not as a classical language.
What is the contribution of Sanskrit Bharti ?
Sanskrit Bharati has taught 40 lakh people to speak in Sanskrit. We have applied new and simple methods in our Sanskrit-speaking courses. Three villages, two in Karnataka and one in MP, speak Sanskrit.We have also launched an awareness campaign to preserve 45 lakh manuscripts written in Sanskrit and other languages.
