Why I learnt Sanskrit

[Vikki]

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Good. Sanskrit should be taight in Pakistan as well. Just because Jamaicans adopted English does not reduce English. Just because Aboriginals in India adopted it does not reduce it.

Sanskrit is a dead language. Indians speak Urdu.

 

[Nilgiri]

Perfectly put. Sanskrit is indeed the most beautiful language I have had the honour and pleasure of learning (and teaching a little bit to a few as well).

I do love my mother tongue Tamil the same degree....but it is in Sanskrit I have said the same prayers (to the supreme God) each morning and evening since a little boy...one of the ways I connect mind to my soul daily.

There is quite nothing like reading and understanding the Upanishads in the original language. India would do well to expand its reach back into its earlier era of greatness.

@padamchen

the prayers wouldn't be the same if recited in our native tongues...reciting them in sanskrit gives that blissful and devotional feeling..it connects to god

look how calm when she is reciting this shloka...there are many videos of her reciting hindu shlokas on net...see and learn something from her(how to attain calmness)

One has to read Kalidasa to realize how beautiful this language sound, no matter you understand it or not.

how to attain calmness

Yup can see calmness over Indian media, LUL. I bet Arnub goswami practices this too.

Btw, it's not wise to post dokhla, shokla, shloka or whatever just to put an emphasis on your opinion. I mean, it would be retarded of me to bring in sufi videos in here just to illustrate how calming sufi music/poetry is.

You can always open other threads to discuss it (Guess it's already there).

Sufi culture is interesting, I've never met anyone who follows sufism, other than heard of some sufi saint or medical practitioner who my friends have met and stories they share.
