Sanskrit
Sanskrit is full of spiritual significance. It is measured, refined and ordered.
The sounds of the language have a special power, purity, order and unity.
The grammar reflects the laws of the creation and it has the power of conveying the truth fully. The study of Sanskrit allows for appreciation of wisdom at deeper levels.
The sheer beauty of the language and profound concepts stir the mind and heart to that which is pure and beautiful. The language has maintained its integrity over thousands of years. Its vast body of literature pays great attention to the inner life.
What is Sanskrit?
It is said that Sanskrit is the language of the Gods. Many of the vedic scriptures and epics have originally been recited and penned down in Sanskrit.
For millennia the language has maintained its purity. The meaning of the word itself is ‘perfected ‘or ‘refined’. So the effect on the individual is one of purification.
Sanskrit is a highly structured language, which is measured, refined and ordered.
Why Study Sanskrit?
Studying Sanskrit will help you understand ancient religious texts, verses and other Sanskrit words in their true context, with nothing getting lost in translation.
Mantra chanting, for example, is based on the principle that the vibrational frequency of the sounds, as they are being uttered, directly transforms the spiritual vibration of the person who is chanting.
The sound of Sanskrit has the ability to purify and heal body, mind and spirit, as the sound vibration contained in mantras directly influences the subtle energy vibration of cells and organs, the nervous system and the chakras.
