Sanskrita
A study that deepens understanding
Sanskrita 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 Sanskrita 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.
Śrī Śāntānanda Sarasvatī
The Sanskrita language is there, pure and clean, unhampered or distorted by anyone, and it can mirror the laws of the universe to anyone; this is the good companion, the good guide and the great friend. Journey with it and then the Veda is simple and sure.
The essence of all this is that one should get closer to the realm of understanding. This is possible only through study of language … Of course Sanskrita alone is capable to lead one to that Language. One should study it systematically. If one would try to water the leaves the tree will not get nourishment. One should water the root. So one first should understand properly the beautiful structure of the Sanskrita language and it will help the mind to come closer to understanding. When the light appears the darkness disappears. Similarly, when the study of Sanskrita will be achieved, all knowledge of worldly use and also of spiritual use will be purified and one’s life will be simple and good.
