"SANSKRIT"- Great Ancient Language of India- Bharat- Hindustan.

"SANSKRIT"- Great Ancient Language of India- Bharat- Hindustan.

Our World has so many Cultures & Traditions. These Traditions & Cultures create a Unique Identity Worldwide for that Particular Country or Region. Our Nation India- Bharat- Hindustan is known for its Great Cultural & Taditional Heritage.

As we are talking about Cultural & Traditional Heritage of India- Bharat- Hindustan, it has Another Important Property
of Great Ancient Language "SANSKRIT".
"संस्कृत" - The Language of Ancient India.

Sanskrit was considered as "Dev Bhasha", " Devavani "or the language of the Gods by ancient Indians. The word sanskrita, meaning "refined" or "purified," is the antonym of prakrita, meaning "natural," or "vulgar." It is made up of the primordial sounds, and is developed systematically to include the natural progressions of sounds as created in the human माउथ.

Sanskrit (meaning "cultured or refined"), the classical language of Hinduism, is the oldest and the most systematic language in the world. The vastness and the versatility, and power of expression can be appreciated by the fact that this language has 65 words to describe various forms of earth, 67 words for water, and over 250 words to describe rainfall. Sanskrit was a complete success and became the language of all cultured people in India and in countries under Indian influence. All scientific, philosophical, historical works were henceforth written in Sanskrit, and important texts existing in other languages were translated and adapted into Sanskrit. For this reason, very few ancient literary, religious, or philosophical documents exits in India in other languages. The sheer volume of Sanskrit literature is immense, and it remains largely unexplored।

There are some International Researchers & Writers who have made their Comments about this Great Ancient Language in below given Words........

Rick Briggs a NASA researcher, has written:
"In ancient India the intention to discover truth was so consuming, that in the process, they discovered perhaps the most perfect tool for fulfilling such a search that the world has ever known --

the Sanskrit language. There is at least one language, Sanskrit, which for the duration of almost 1000 years was a living spoken language with a considerable literature of its own. Besides works of literary value, there was a long philosophical and grammatical tradition that has continued to exist with undiminished vigor until the present century. Among the accomplishments of the grammarians can be reckoned a method for paraphrasing Sanskrit in a manner that is identical not only in
essence but in form with current work in Artificial Intelligence. This article demonstrates that a natural language can serve as an artificial language also, and that much work in AI has been reinventing a wheel millennia old.The discovery is of monumental significance. It is mind-boggling to consider that we have available to us a language which has been spoken for 4-7000 years that appears to be in every respect a perfect language designed for enlightened communication. But the most stunning aspect of the discovery is this: NASA the most advanced research center in the world for cutting edge technology has discovered that Sanskrit, the world's oldest spiritual language is the only unambiguous spoken language on the planet. Considering Sanskrit's status as a spiritual language, a further implication of this discovery is that the age old dichotomy between religion and science is an entirely unjustified one.It is also relevant to note that in the last decade physicists have begun to comment on the striking similarities between their own discoveries and the discoveries made thousands of years ago in India which went on to form the basis of most Eastern religions.Why has Sanskrit endured? Fundamentally it generates clarity and inspiration. And that clarity and inspiration is directly responsible for a brilliance of creative expression such as the world has rarely seen.

Another hope for the return of Sanskrit lies in computers. Sanskrit and computers are a perfect fit. The precision play of Sanskrit with computer tools will awaken the capacity in human beings to utilize their innate higher mental faculty with a momentum that would inevitably transform the world. In fact the mere learning of Sanskrit by large numbers of people in itself represents a
quantum leap in consciousness, not to mention the rich endowment it will provide in the arena of future communication."

Knowledge Representation in Sanskrit and Artificial Intelligence - By Rick Briggs Artificial Intelligence मगाजी 6(1) 32-39 1985)
Sayeed Naqwi wrote a few years back in The illustrated Weekly of India, "May be if Sanskrit had been designated the official language of the country there would have been none of
the rabid opposition to it as there is to Hindi, the country would have a unifying language and may be a national soul." The Commission headed by Radha Krishan and Kathori had strongly recommended the teaching of Sanskrit language in whole of Bharat. Sanskrit, which en- captures in it the eternal verities and soul entrancing truth and is rich with effulgent flow of knowledge and wisdom, is the greatest builder of character. So, in these dark days of corruption and rampant crime, revival of Sanskrit is absolutely necessary. Sources:- http://www.hinduwisdom.info/Sanskrit.htm.

Jawaharlal Nehru has said
that Sanskrit is a language amazingly rich, efflorescent, full of luxuriant growth of all kinds, and yet precise and strictly keeping within the framework of grammar which Panini laid down two thousand years ago. It spread out, added to its richness, became fuller and more ornate, but always it stuck to its original roots. The ancient Indians attached a great deal of importance to sound, and hence their writing, poetry or prose, had a rhythmic and musical quality. Our modern languages of India are children of Sanskrit, and to it owe most of their vocabulary and their forms of expressions.

W. C. Taylor wrote in The Journal of Royal Asiatic Society: "It was an astounding discovery that Hindustan possessed, in spite of the changes of realms and variety; a language, the parent of all those dialects that Europe has fondly called classical - the source alike of Greek flexibility and Roman strength. A philosophy, compared with which, in point of age, the lessons of Pythagoras are but of yesterday, and in point of daring speculation Plato's boldest efforts were tame and commonplace. A poetry more purely intellectual than any of those of which we had before any conception; and systems of science whose antiquity baffled all power of astronomical calculation. This literature, with all its colossal proportions, which can scarcely be described without the semblance of bombast and exaggeration claimed of course a place for itself - it stood alone, and it was able to stand alone.
"To acquire the mastery of this language is almost a labor of a life; its literature seems exhaustless. The utmost stretch of imagination can scarcely comprehend its boundless mythology. Its philosophy has touched upon every metaphysical difficulty; its legislation is as varied as the castes for which it was designed.'

Count Magnus Fredrik Ferdinand Bjornstjerna (1779-1847) says: "The literature of India makes us acquainted with a great nation of past ages, which grasped every branch of knowledge, and which will always occupy a distinguished place in the history of the civilization of mankind."

Rev. William Ward wrote:
"No reasonable person will deny to the Hindus of former times the praise of very extensive learning. The variety of subjects upon which they wrote prove that almost every science was cultivated among them. The manner also in which they treated these subjects proves that the Hindus learned men yielded the palm of learning to scarcely any other of the ancients. The more their philosophical works and lawbooks are studied, the more will the enquirer be convinced of the depth of wisdom possessed by the authors.

Mrs. Charlotte Manning says: "The Hindus had the widest range of mind of which man was capable."

Dear friend pinkal !
Thank you very much for providing precious information about language sanskrit.No doubt,It is technically perfect and world's richest language.In future,it will be main programming language for computers.we, so called modern(!)indians are interested in english only and running behind that, but we should salute GERMANY, that is doing reserch in this language.Welldone JAPAN and ISRAEL that has kept(maintained)their traditional culture and languages(japanise & hibru).No matter,due to international language,everybody must learn english, but according to our culture , we must love and learn sanskrit.A man,who speaks sanskrit slokas everyday in childhood,becomes brilliant sure.For smiling day,we should listen sanskrit slokas in morning instead of filmi songs.this is very big subject and i have limit so it's enough.thanks.
