Except us(Indians) everyone is studying Sanskrit. Good point is that the language will survive and become popular like Yoga. At the end people from India will travel abroad to master what once originated from their own country. I appreciate people like Mr Dean Brown to understand and promote the language.
I am a Tamil too but I feel Sanskrit belongs to all Indians since time immemorial. This notion of white aryans chasing down the dark skinned people down south is a myth perpetually used by the British and the intelligentsia to rule India. That this a myth has been proven again and again. So, why this exasperation of drawidians getting bullied by Brahmins and the northerners. The people who want to perpetuate this myth today are mostly the politicians in the south and even the media who think they know best. It is these politicians who are holding the people ack, not he religion or the Brahmins. It is high time that Indians of all stripes acknowledge that we all share a common history
Very true. I am very happy to listen this from a Tamil brother/sister. This Aryan-Dravidian is a greatest nonsense myth composed by idiot William Jones and Max Muller to create infighting amongst ourselves. Tamil and Sanksrit are both languages of same soil. There is nothing called Noth or South people here. All have same DNA class. Actually original name of the country was Aryavratha (city of noble people). Then changed to Bharatvarsha(by ruler Bharata), then Hindustan(my mughals) and finally India(by Britishers). Who have rules this nation, have changed its name. Time to reinvent Sanksrit and rename the country to Aryavratha. Our Dharma name is not Hindu, its Arya Dharma, and we all are Arya Putra. Vande Mataram.
Partha Sarathi Regarding the word Arya, I want to say it is confusing and debatable. Many South Indians believe it is a different invading race, many brahmins believe they r descendants of Aryas, and the Allied powers of WWII shiver in the name of Arya. Again there is the believe that Arya means "noble". In pure Sanskrit Arya means "arrived" as an adjective. Some claim "Aryavarta" is India, and others, "North India". On the other hand I want to make the point that it was Hindus only in the whole world who never named their religion. Whenever they mentioned Dharma (not Religion but loosely translated as Duty), they used the phrase "Sanatan Dharma" (Eternal Ways). We now translate Religion as Dharma. So actually we are Sanatandharmis or Sanatanis and our land Sanatanbhumi (The Eternal Land). Please consider this. Please also take into consideration that Bhaarat is derived from the name of a mythical king Bharat. So the name of our religion should be changed from the wrongly pronounced Hindu (Sindhu>Hindu) to Sanatandharma or Sanatan (Noun used as adjective). Then we become Sanatanis (The one with the eternal faith or plainly the eternals) and our land Sanatanbhumi (or the land of the Eternals). One day the whole world will be rightfully Sanatanbhumi, unified in heart, in the belief in One where all believes will have place, including atheism. The conquest will be by winning the hearts of people, not through conquest of land (as done by Mughals), or seas (as done by British) or space (as done by Americans).
I am learning sanskrit....some times when speak it i feel like am talking the language of gods. Each word has specificity, each word is designed very scientifically. when i utter the slokas sometimes i feel like some metaphysical dimension is opening around me. Sanskrit is really powerful and peaceful too. Sarvejanaha sukhinobhavanthu....
Guys, learn about Tamil language. What is it? people say that language is aimed by lord Siva, designed by Agathiyar, and published in the presence of of Lord Muruga. How is it possible?
@@Grilledburger99Marathi and “Hindu” as you’ve so eloquently mentioned stem from the Devanagari script which came from the Nagari script that originates from the Gupta Script, the Rigveda (3,500 years old) was written in Sharada and Devanagari scripts. The problem is that Malayalam and Tamil stem from Proto-Dravidian, an ethnolinguistic language with no script since they practiced oral traditions (Kannada and Telugu are slightly more influenced by Sanskrit).

+ajaykumar sandula There is a small problem. We get here truth in a language which is grey and to my humble opinion still full of emotions with stupid feelings of superiority. In my language (German) we have a much closer connection to Sanscrit. First all substantives have a gender (die, der,das = female, male, neutre) and what gender have the words in German: world, sun, earth, majesty, arts, music, science, power, strength, force, discipline ? all female ! Second the German language is able to put substantives together. The English language cannot do it likewise. We put Welt (world) and Schmerz (pain) together and get "Weltschmerz" and arrive at a completely new meaning = feeling universal depressing moods. The German language is by far more flexible as we pick up with no problem words from other languages, especially from French. Still, coming back to cosmology, English was chosen by Sri Aurobindo to reveal or open the door to a new chapter or episode of the universal evolution. The episode of the homo sapiens, it was a long episode, is coming to an end and the new being with a new supramental consciousness will take over. So, India is and has been in the spiritual domain always no. 1. The real spiritual and material evolution you can find in "Savitri" by Sri Aurobindo, written in a mode of English which has a supreme level (never have been achieved ever before)
I am born in Tübingen,where a specific dialect is spoken. I moved to Jena, Koblenz, Wuerzburg, Bonn, München and Berlin. The German language is taught in all places in the same way. So the older dialects never had any influence on the unified German language, especially on German literature, which was build up and unified first by Luther ( a bit earlier than 18th century) and brought to the highest level by v. Goethe and later by the romanic poets Kleist, Hölderlin - even by Nietzsche, Thomas Mann - manifested best in their poems. Why should todays German be artificial? Grammar has not changed. Spelling has been simplified yes. But what are the artificial elements ? As I remarked two characteristics are outstanding. The gender specification and the use to put substantives( in which language is there something similar)? Last not least the German language is far more open to new impulses coming from modern Russian, French and English. We invented the word "handy" for mobile and the word "showmaster", both words never used in English.
Dievas (Lithuanian) meaning ‘gods’ is similar to Devas (Sanskrit). Ugnis (Lithuanian) meaning ‘fire’ is similar to Agnis (Sanskrit). Dantis (Lithuanian) meaning ‘teeth’ is similar to Dantas (Sanskrit). For ‘smoke’, the Sanskrit dhumas is similar to the Lithuanian dumas. Lithuanians wish profit and wealth to others and say ‘labhas’, similar to the Sanskrit ‘labh’. Sapnas in Lithuanian means dream, similar to swapn in Sanskrit.

hinduism is based on knowledge and scientific , which is made in the form of belief, tradition. foreigners are keen and interested in decoding sanskrit into their scientific form and trying to destroy its origins. but knowedge and scientific nature is there in indian dna which cannot be destroyed
No one can destroy Sanskrit. Because it is most scientific language. When human being evolve better and better, they naturally start learning Sanskrit. Most intelligent nation will grasp Sanskrit fast. But Tantra will always remain secret as it requires a Guru to transfer power. Else it will cause damage.
Sanskrit has died in north india over the years by converting to prakrits and then modern indo aryan languages(with heavy persian and arabic influence). The islamic rule totally wiped the language off. Only in south indian languages (eg. malayalam) it is still preserved a lot. Tamil is an exception
Sankrit was there before Tamil as Shruti. Veda was described with language that is vedic sanskrit. Only taught thru sound. Tamil no doubt was oldest scripted language. Sanskrit Grammar was defined by Panini. Panini is the father of sanskrit grammar.
arakkal abu again another with corrupted by fake and propoganda studies of aryan and dravidians theory. Sanskrit never mentions aryan it does arya meaning the brave or pure or else as Sanskrit have different meaning while dravida meaning from the land where two water or ocean or sea meet. Like penisula. So stop propogating aryan or dravidian theory which was more populaized by german or european. We are not related to them and about people migrating from iran or else. They are there even today persian etc and never called aryan ot what so ever. Our common language in indian subcontinents or even far was Sanskrit and like english today and also have many regional languages.

Sanskrit is the mother of all European Languages… which shows civilisation is an “OUT OF INDIA” phenomenon. The Aryan Invasion theory and the synthetic PIE (Proto-Indo-European Language) was fabricated during the colonial era so European’s could claim ownership of the Sanskrit language. In over 200 years nobody has been able to prove the existence of PIE and the Aryan Invasion Theory or migration Theory has been completely discredited with multiple sources of scientific evidence

pri22v11 That it be descended from "Sanskrit" as we know it now is disputed. That our languages all come, in evolutionary terms, from a common ancestor, to which Sanskrit (a very old language) is closer... this is not so much disputed - a Proto-Indo-European language has incredible amounts of corroborating evidence. I would still be interested in reading about counter-theories, if you can suggest anything pri22v11, I would be much obliged.
Chris Rob People who closely follow and do sadhana based on the Vedas see the proto-European language theory as a theory originating from Eurocentric thinking during the Colonial days. The Vedas see Sanskrit as an eternal language. Basically Europeans and Americans (I'm one myself!) see our culture as being the pinnacle of 'evolution', but Veda sees us as a little blip in time - some ruffians that killed billions of cows, and more. "Searching for Vedic India" book by Devamrita Swami has some good info in this regard.
Thank you Dr. Brown for writing a book on the Upanishads. Thank you Jeffrey Mishlove for recording it, your own knowledge seem to be very commendable indeed. There is a mention of Upanishads and its relevance to science here. The ancient hindu sages have thought a lot about the cosmos or manifest universe and came to the conclusion that it has to be INFINITE. No other explanation of finite and closed system can provide any conclusion to the debate to the contentious question of the srishti or creation. At first look it may appear some what an escapist excuse to pronounce the srishti as infinite and be done with it. But then the alternative explanations are all highly inadequate and hence they settled for this dimension of ANANTH or infinite. If someone say the universe is finite then pat comes the question, what is there outside of the uni or multiverse? Simialrly if some one says TIME began some 13.5 billion years ago, pat comes the question, what was there before 13.5 billion years ago. Now, having determined that the srishti or manifest creation is infinite they could not make creator any smaller. Beacuase if the creator god is smaller, then he can not control this infinite srishti and paradoxically and ruefully he will be controlled by the srishti in turn. So what to do. They said the creator god , BRAHMAN is also infinite and this manifest creation is only a small fraction of his creation. Now, everything falls in place and everyone is content. Vedas, from whom Upanishads were derived are treasure troves of wisdom. Please read the Upanishads, get them from libraries or on amazon. Thanks.

Linguistics comes from Sanskrit. The first literature on grammar in the world were made in Sanskrit over 2500 years ago and it is still relevant today as Backus-Naur Form. That is why sanskrit is often termed as "mother of all languages" because it was the first to discuss and posit nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, phonemes, morphemes, phonetics, etymology, morphology. All the things a language needs now and what we learn in school now. Thus proper credit should be given and not ignored.
panini would be the one who established the study of language in sanskrit, using sanskrit as the meta language itself, and we can find that in the ashtadhyayi

Just a few point 1) Sanskrit is called as the "Deva Bhasha" (Language of the GOD). Even for a trained Indian tongue it takes at-least 10 years to learn the exact pronunciation patterns and rules. Coz, you have to regulate and modulate the frequency by your vocal cord. 2) Not just the world but the entire Universe and also beyond Universe (this is a bit tough to visualize for the westerner mind) is just a combination of numerous vibrations of differing frequency. These Sanskrit verses are a frequency transformer. The chanter, upon regular chanting with devotion (Devotion = increased concentration) gradually changes his body vibration from gross materialistic to spirituality. With regular practice it metamorphose you into a higher spiritual plain (body, mind and all your presence).
dont try to me smart. dont think westerns are fools in spriituality. be humble. the findings of rishis's are not your finding. so dont take it as your achievement.
@@netaji-thebritishslayer it doesn't really translate to "sound". But the word OM has significant value itself.

Sanskrit, the language is a treasure trove in itself. An ancient language that holds immense amount of wisdom, scientific and metaphysical realities intertwined with each other, so much intuition - what else remains after this ? A pure consciousness is the creator, whether it is god or anything else is a matter of debate, but this theology is very human, this perception of the cosmos is sheer wisdom. Brahman and Atman alignment works in sync creating and recreating the universe again and again ! 🙏
The beauty of Sanskrit language: Vocabulary is infinite. There are meaning associated with every alphabet or we can also call it vibration and you can split a word in to its basic vibrations and derive the meaning. These alphabets are designed in tune with vibration of the cosmos and hence Sankrit mantras have tremendous power. You repeat a mantra (destined for a purpose) focusing to improve a situation or illness and you can see the result yourself. We can measure the vibration of one's aura ( or the bioplasmic body) when we call a person a name and determine which name would be more appropriate in expanding his/her consciousness. For every word there is vachyarth ( verbal or logical meaning) and bhavarth (emotional or creative meaning). The language is powerful to express meanings in very precise way. In English we say love but in Sanskit there are hundreds of words to express love- love of an elder towards an young, love of a mother, love between partners, love or devotion to God, extreme feeling of love as bliss etc. A two line sloka from a vedic text when translated in other languages becomes as essay that span across many pages. Sanskit is based on communication using feelings so one should comprehend both vacharth and bhavarh to comprehend the meaning. The ability to comprehend the bhavarth is up to the stage you have evolved your consciousness. Each time you read a sloka, you come to know more dimensions of its bhavarth. It is essential to be in the level of consciousness of an author to truly appreciate and understand his writings. Hence it is important to learn this language to truly understand the old texts in its original form, vedas and the science of physics, quantum physics, mathematics, astrology, astronomy, Ayurveda ( medicine) the philosophy, culture, tradition and millions of scriptures since time before time. We talk in Sanskrit with a slang which is in accordance with the vibration of the words. We should learn it to reap its benefits. In ancient India there was no religion and all was based on Dharma which is a way of thinking of what is most appropriate for one to do provided a situation and this is based on basic understanding that you do not do some thing to others which you do not do to yourself, an act done with pure intention in mind for the upliftment of the other is Dharma. One always raises questions to his own self on whether each thought, word or action he/she does is Dharma. Sanskrit is purely secular and expresses the ideology of a civilized society as this itself is one of the word meaning of Sanskit ( "Civilized"). We forgot our civilization and culture and it is time to remind ourselves who we were, what we are n how we want to be.
Sanskrit is actually a sophisticated form meant for writing of scriptures and mantras. The coloquial counterparts are Prakrit. Saanskritik(Traditional)> Sanskrit, Praakritik(Natural)> Prakrit. We see such cases in many other languages. Especially in Literature studies.
And do remember that this man was a scientist...since everybody is so SCIENCE-OBSESSED. Prof. Dean Brown was a physicist, mathematician and computer scientist. His interest in philosophy led him to study the Upanishads and the Yoga Sutras and naturally ofcourse Sanskrit.
Lovely, Sanskrit learning will enhance one's brains development. The reason why it has died out in India was due to the fact that the teaching of the vedas was not taught to every Indian, only the brahmins and few others kept it to themselves. If Sanskrit along with the vedas were taught like the bible , koran and dharmapada to all , it would be the strongest and most pratical method of living...
It is all about sonic energy becomes a diagram and that Yantra becomes a 3 dimension of a form.

The Upanishad s hymn he talks about has a stirring memory for me - it was the favorite of my language teacher and she had a beautiful voice. It also defines infinity to mathematically inclined. He did not translate it well, Ishopanishad is what I would search if I were you.
Luckily almost all western languages derive from the same proto-IndoEuropean language as sanskrit. I'm a south Slav (Croatian) and I'm always fascinated how simmilar and familliar some sanskrit words sound to me. There is a strong connection between the West and India, we influence eachother over and over again throughout millenias.
I'm a Psychology student and like hindu culture. While reading the Bhagavad-Gita and learning about Advaita Vedanta and other ideas, it really seemed to me like an "ancient Psychology", because of its understanding of our spiritual and psychological natures. Now that he mentioned how Sanskrit is so precise in describing consciousness and mind etc., it really makes sense to me.
A lot of text has been lost but still reading something from 5-7 thousand years back and still having such incredible information is just other wordly , people misrepresent them as Religious texts but for me they feel like encyclopaedia , a way of life
Outstanding interviewer, J. Mislove, deserves credit for conducting an informative interview of Dr. Dean Brown. This was a tight 23 minutes that could easily have become garbled. It held my attention and walked me steadily forward. I cannot say I agree with notions of 'everything being everything' and 'everything being nothing' but such an idea is as good as any when all thinking is seen as an hypothetical tool. Any thesis creates order in the pause required to consider it and a philosophy is a collection of thoughts seeking to hold the pause in one's the thinking ad infinitum. Well done lads. Carry on.
Sanskrit is not the eldest or the brother it like all other languages is the off spring of the mother Greek language. Every word in Greek has a meaning, example you can not call a "cloud" a "car" in English, Sanskrit and all other languages the word "mother" only has the meaning that was attached to it, if "bar" was attached instead of "mother" then we would be calling our moms "bar" but in Greek you cant do that because every word has meaning, "mother" "miter" comes from Eve the first mother and just like Eve was made without earth the word miter means mi=without ter=earth. What does mi ter mean in Sanskrit or English? jack chit.
"Language" another Greek word thank you very much. It comes from lingua which comes from glossa, I wonder without Greek how would you be able to speak? and say your bs like "Indo-European" you wouldn't you would speak like the barbarian that you are with grunts and noises.
You dumb ass even your user name is Greek, kriminos logia en ekaton en, ekatonthrough the formation of dialects became ekathron, ekhathron, ekhadron, ehandron, handron and the rest is history, gee what do ya know another Greek word, istoria.
I grew up in TamilNadu in the 80's, Hindi was very very rare and completely ignored as it did not mean anything. Sanskrit was non existent or limited to fee temples around where a Tamil brahmin priest (with or without understanding) chants sanskrit mantras. I still see it that way... Tamil for regular communication, Hindi (to watch some movies) and Sanskrit in the temples.
Bro people hated Sanskrit because of Brahmans , who gave birth to Caste system in Hinduism and tried to establish their superiority. In Rigveda there is no caste system but Later it was developed by them. Sanskrit was developed much before Brahman's caste system
Why these f^¢king tamil d|¢Kh£@ds so much obsessed with Sanskrit language, no one gives s#it about there language Tamil 🤡 on which they have illogical claims
Learning Sanskrit while staying in the Western world is very appreciated. To understand Sanskrit you have to be an Indian and stay in India. Anyway, a great beginning. Just one point - Sanskrit is the language through which one may learn our scriptures and the pronunciation is very important. That's why I have emphasized about being an Indian or staying in India. Using the Shalokas with Western dialect will lead to 'nowhere'🙏🙏
Sanskrit language is the softest language and every word of it is polite if even a bad word becomes soft in Sanskrit language so that no one gets hurt by it.....🙏
I am surprised by some of the angry reactions here as although there are mistakes here and there the essence seems to be well understood and the central point that Sanskrit has its roots in a culture that also influenced 'Western language and culture'. One criticism seems to be that he thinks European languages come from India but he does say right at the beginning that Sanskrit comes from 'proto-Indo-european language' as do many ''English, Russian , French ,Greek'' (the first three indirectly). There are a couple of mistakes not long after that for instance "many, many words in the English languages have Sanskrit origins or origins that are traceable to the Sanskrit tradition and the earlier proto-european language" (it's a mistake but it is clear that they understand that there is an earlier language from which both European language and Sanskrit derive. It is made clearer still by the fact they talks just before about Buddhism going from Western culture to the East). There where many different tribes as some of you say with a probable epi-centre around the Baltic (the earliest evidence of homo-sapiens is not far away in Romania about 40,000 years ago). So he is not saying that European languages derived from Sanskrit but that they both have their roots in a mother tongue (not known). Sanskrit is probably the closest language to that mother tongue (that is known about) apart from the Hittite language. The term Aryan relating to the modern name Iran originally was a term that simply referred to the people of that area (and later came to mean noble) by the time these peoples arrived in Iran their language had changed into what is now termed Indo-Iraninan, it then entered into India in several forms as it was un-codified so there where regional dialects. The Rg Veda was written in Vedic sanskrit which was then supplanted by the formalised classical sanskrit organised by Panini who apart from other changes assorted some pre-extant Indian words (elephant for example). There is also a criticism of his pronunciation of Sanskrit which is forgivable but I am unclear which of his translations are completely wrong? nmg70nmg it would be great to chat those through if you're up for it? Someone else comments that Buddha was born in Nepal not India which is correct although again the area was probably not called Nepal but was again more of a region of principalities first occupied by the Tibeto-Burmese about 2,500 years ago. The area is first referred to in the Atharaveda Parisista which was composed considerably later than the veda(1200-1000 BCE) on which it expounds (disliked by Buddhist and Jains in some of the scriptures). At the time Lumbini was what in what which really was a conglomeration of kingdoms and principalities. It was not until the time of the third Mauryan Emperor Ashoka's reign that we can see a unified 'India' which at the time would have included Lumbini (prior to which Kalinga remained separate - it was said to be the bloody war on the plains of Kalinga that converted Ashoka to non violence and Buddhism). Anyway although yes it is more accurate to say Nepal it is not as straight forwards and a forgivable convenience to use the term India which again was not the name of the region even at the time of Ashoka. I liked Omondi Akura comments ''when we talk about ancient India what we are referring to is not the current geographical boundaries but the ancient geographical and cultural boundaries together.'' One of the comments was very unpleasant about the Indian culture I suppose this is a 'Troll'? Luckily the gaping holes in the arguments (and the careless way in which it was written) mean that it undermines itself. I understand that looking at some of the degeneration of Indian culture such as the caste system, bad hygiene and abject poverty may give a bad impression but anatomy, astronomy and mathematics (what would we do without the zero?) such as we use in the West originated in India. In India written language is traceable at least 4,500 years and it is likely that India was the first place to invent the plough. A look at the incredible architectural achievements and advanced metal work of the country out surpasses most of what was being created in Europe at the time. Part of the difficulty India has has been created by aggressive raids on the country not east by the Brits (I am a Brit and love this land and our culture but this is an undeniable fact of our past). Not only that in many areas again India is on the rise if you look at large parts of Indian history it has been down only to get up and become again a major inspiration in science, craft and culture. Love to All Quotes that I like from the video ( I also like his smiling eyes as he says some of these) 'Through all your senses you comprehend God' 'To comprehend te divine one comprehends oneself' 'The route through everything you sense is through your centre' 'Our sensuality and spiritualty really coming together' 'God is approached through nature'

Jim Tarran I appreciate you very very much to be an open minded person to accept the truth as it is! After my many years of experiences with many kind of nationalities, British people have nevertheless the courage and audacity to accept new things and acknowledging and nurture it. It makes this small British island the biggest nation in the world! As it proved earlier times, it was not the vastness of a country, it is the people who makes it big and civilized. In Big India, it'll take a long time to come to where this small British Island had achieved in few years, why? Because there lack the most important part of Human beings; To respect each other in any level of social status. All these wonderful knowledge of Vedic Sciences are useless if it is not used for eradication of poverty, discrimination ( Woman ! ), corruptions and most ugliest ofthem all: CAST SYSTEM! It is going to be a long, long way to com there!
Dear Jim Tarran, vedanta is open to all sir. Its as much yours as is mine. Just because I was born as an indian doesn't give me exclusive right on it but of course gives me advantage. Coming from a completely different tradition the man here is more knowledgable of vedanta and devouted to it than many many indians today. This is commendable and at the same time credit also goes to him and likes of similar intellectuals whose effort will help preserve this precious wealth of mankind...
Md, nothing can be done. There are some languages and religions they have self effect power. It is matter of time. Any religion become old slowly looses its strength. At the beginning to spread force is used , people kill people to spread and later when it is spread fully. it starts its own effect. It is like a living being. Every living being is strong at childhood, become weaker when old and older finally it becomes historic. It takes 12000 years as per Vedic knowledge. So now after Christianity, Islam has become new. But people in these countries never live in peaceful. Because God is one. we are one. There is incarnation. Today I am hindu and in my next life i may take birth as a muslim or christian. And same for others. This is truth. So better keep every religion safe and peaceful. Let no one fight. all live peacefully. Om Santi Santi Santi. That is the idea of Hindus...
By the way, appreciating a language like Sanskrit, does not mean any other language is inferior. Every language has its beauty and there is always a comfort and nostalgia in speaking, listening in your mother tongue. In India we teach Hindi, English and the official language of that specific state as primary languages. We should add Sanskrit also to this list to truly appreciate our culture and philosophy and expand the vocabulary which is used in common across Indian languages. May Sanskit be a unifying factor to appreciate our common culture and inheritance as a civilization. We should uphold the commonality to remind us of our oneness. India always remain secular and appreciate the beauty in every everything and it is the choice of a person to decide what is good for them

Hi guys here is for your information Buddha he was born in India it's true because when he was born there's no borderline bit mean India and Nepal so that is why we call he was born in India and also that time we call to India (Bharat) not India ...... So thank you so much and God bless you
Aryans originated around Punjab in North West India, Rama is often referred to Arya in the Ramayan, and existed well before 12000 BC, The Arayan influence then moved to Middle East, Western Europe and also East Asia. Aryans did not come from Central Europe to India as Westerners like to believe. Sanskrit is the mother tounge from which other languages like Latin or Greek could have developed
Kireeti Bharadwaj Every word in all languages has its own meaning. Learning Sanskrit really gives happiness to children because that is the only paper you can score 100, just copying the question paper in answer sheets. Sanskrit is not a mother tongue for any Indians. Then how come, it becomes a mother of all languages?
+Sundar vedanth Regarding the "mother to all languages" point, Sanskrit is the only existing, intact descendant of the Proto Indo-European language. Other Indo-European languages are descendants of another Proto Indo-European language which is now effectively "extinct". Hence, Sanskrit can be considered as a mother to modern Indo-European languages.
+Dave75Mendis: Glad to hear that. just show some evidence of writings on rocks or palm scripts in India. I am afraid you haven't considered certain things like logic, truth..
I am a native Tamil speaker and well versed in English. Recently I got surprised by the amount of hidden knowledge that Sanskrit can offer. Many of the western scientists were Sanskrit scholars ex: Schrödinger, Bohr, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer, Fibonacci etc took knowledge and inspiration from Sanskrit.
You will soon realise that Tamils are living in illusion that their language is the oldest surviving language ,also the knowledge present in Sanskrit in diverse fields like Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine, Surgery, Economics, Philosophy etc is way more richer than Tamil language
@@-hindihinduhindusthan7111 I would disagree to it. If you have read the Tamil scriptures you can get so much amount of knowledge comparable with Sanskrit. But Sanskrit explores science and mathematics unlike any other language.
Sanskrit was ruined for me because of a terrible teacher I had back in school. Here in India, we CBSE students have to choose between Sanskrit and French after fourth standard as a third language. I found it odd that students of French could introduce themselves in French after only a month of studying it, while none of us ever understood even a little of the Sanskrit syntax. Although our teacher was capable of teaching well, she was simply unwilling to explain topics to us and was always very grumpy. Easily, the worst teacher I have ever had.

Hi Dave, perhaps, you might be interested in knowing that other than "jal", "Pani" and "neer", there're other terms for water in sankskirt: "Ambu, Amrit, Udak, Som and Wari (water?), Toy". You would probably be also interested to know that other terms in Latin for terms (or waterlike) are: "Unda (Udak?), Imber (amrit?). Also the Greek words for water is Hudor(Toy?). I'm not implying that they're definitely related. I've never studied this. I just learned these synonyms for water in school.

The interviewer mentioned about Brahman around 12:33, and then at 12:54, called it the Supreme deity...Just to clarify here, Brahman is not known as a deity. We don't worship Brahman simply because normal human beings cannot communicate with Brahman like the other deities. Now as for the Supreme DEITY, there is Lord Brahma who is the God of creation, meaning the creator of all that is living. There is a very big difference between Brahma and Brahman...Where Brahman is indeed the very essence of the universe, the omnipotent "entity" that is present within every human soul, the "Atman", thereby making us humans being tied with Brahman via our souls. This is how the Buddha came to be known as the enlightened, awakened one, because he realized his self as one with the Supreme One, the Brahman. According to the Upanishads, the Brahman is known as the ultimate reality of all existence. An entity that shares no human feelings, but is something that is responsible for every event that went on from the beginning of the universe to its end as well.
Brahmin is the supreme deity, we all have to become one with the atman . When we attain moksha, we dont cease to exist, rather we become brahmin - a physical form of the atman. Atman is the soul, at its paramount. Hence he said that brahmin is the supreme deity. Its unfortunate that cruel kings and some wicked brahmin community members have spread the wrong notion among the common people . You must read vedas and upanishads from the age you began to speak, dont memorise it, but try to understand the basic essence of those texts.
If you look carefully, you will find that the letter Sri in Sinhalese is the same as Swastika which has been rounded at edges by monks who wrote works of art (probably the same thing Shakespeare did with English). We find Swastika in rock inscriptions of 5k years old.

I don't understand why most of the western scholar try to connect Sanskrit and Indian Vedas with the West. There are no Strings attached. Sanskrit and Vedas go back to time when there was no concept of Jesus and other tradition existed.
Vivek Kumar Singh Well because Jesus is actually not even western. However there there are real european gods. who are vedic i.e. Mithras(Mitra),Wotan(Varuna), Ogon(Agni)
Whats the problem? Most countries have different countrynames. So Iran was long known in the West as Persia altough the iranians never refered to their land or country as Persia. But they call it Persia cause the persians were the most influental iranian group in the history of Iran. The same for India; It would be awful if everyone should refer to a country by the selfname.

There is no proto european language but there is only Sanskrit!!! Its called proto european because the West didn't want to think that their language derived from a country of brown people
All I-E languages born from Sanskrit, language of Vedics/Aryas. Sanskrit is PIE. 👉All European, Mediterranean, C.Asian, G.steppe nations are founded by race of Bharath (Vedic/Arya). Kings, warriors of West, C.Asia, G.steppe are R1a1a/R1a1Y {Vedic warrior caste (Shatriyas)}, this marker didn't exist in steppe to Europe before 1k BCs. They've descended from CimmeArya, Saka, Sauromata, Alani, Roxolani, TochaArya, Kushan, Wushun, Xiangno, Khotan Aryas who've conquered G.steppe then Europe, China in the 1k BCs from India-Iran region when Vedics from India already conquered upto Anatolia (Mittani-Hatti-Hari) in 2k BCs. Greco-Roman descended from M-H-H Aryas, only Aryas can bring IE language, chariot, Mitra, thunder/sky God, astronomy, astrology, funerary cremation in Greece-Italy. Aryas in west have turned blonde/white breeding with white women (Celts R1bY Yamnyan, Veneds R1aY Sintashtan) like brown Jews have turned blonde. Aryas are brown skinned, dark haired/eyed (Check G-R, Irani, Saka, TochaArya, Kushan frescoes). Europe's Monarchies came 1300 years after Sakas monarchy of 700 BC., literature after 7th c CE. Greece-Italy Monarchies came 1000 years after M-H-H. Proven conquest of west by Aryas.👉In 2k BCs Mittani-Hatti-Hari conquered upto Anatolia. 👉In 800 BCs CimmeArya, Saka conquered Balkan, Ukraine, Russia. 👉In 500 BCs Parsha conquered Greece, Balkan. 👉In 400 BCs. Sauromata, Alani conquered upto Ukraine, then to British Irish Isles, remember RgVedic Goddess Danu. 👉 In 400 CEs one Alani branch conquered Spain raiding Greece, Italy. 👉In 4th c. Hun conquered half of Europe descending from Tocha-Arya, Wushun." ++++++++ 👉Since 800 BCs white (Celts, Veneds) & C.Asian trib@ls are en$laved by Aryas (CimmeArya, Saka, Sauromata, Alani, Roxolani, TochaArya, Kushan, Wushun, Xiangno, Khotan). 👉Whites are next en$laved by Roman descending from Mittani-Hatti-Hari Aryas. 👉Next en$laved by Hun descending from Tocha-Arya, Wushun Aryas. 👉Next en$laved by moors for 700 years, moor leaders are Irani Aryas. 👉Again en$laved by Turk, Mongol. L0rds of Turk, Mongol tribals are Tocha-Arya, Xiangno, Wushun Aryas. 👉Lords of Turk, Mongol, Avar, Khazar, Tatar trb@ls are Tocha-Arya, Kushan, Wushun, Xiangno, Khotan Aryas. Xiangno, Wushun, Kushan conquered China, Tibet. Shatriyas of eastern India conquered SE Asia, possibly China bringing chariot & great flood mythology (ref. GE Gerini). R1a1a/R1a1Y are in Chinese, Tibetan, Turk, Mongol, SE Asian, Jews, Arab. Nations' kings don't share common race with $laves, commoners. Trib@ls don't give birth to conquerors. Shatriya Arya, Ezyptian, Mesopotamian are only martial races. ++++++++ Whites trib@ls (Celt, Vened or old Slavic) aren't IE/Aryas or warrior race, no evidence of native language. Let alone riding chariot, didnt even ride horse. Roman labelled them subhum@n. IBN Fadlan described yellow haired are f!lthiest of God's creation. Till 10th c. r@ping, hum@n s@crifice were their custom. Stark contrast of people in a continent confirms different races. Whites aren't martial race but they @nnihilate weakers, they've @nnihilated native Euros. Roman, Saka, Sauromata, Alani, Hun Aryas could do the same with whites but didn't. In last 1k years Aryas in west assimilating with whites commited gen0cides of American, African, Asian, Australian. Hiroshima nuking, WW1/2. British rulers who are Arya R1a1a/R1a1Y l00ted $45 tril. alone from India & feeding white p@rasites leaving over 10 mil. starved to death. Vedic civilization is destroyed by her own long lost children. ++++++++ West isn't one race. Stark difference in civiliation confirms different races. There are Aryas, Celts, Veneds, Phonecian-Etruscan from Middle East, Negroids from sub Sahara, some C.Asian, some native Euros, Gypsies, Mongoloids. ++++++++ Shatriyas are founder of Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism. Shatriya Buddha, Mahavira, Ashoka TG, Kurus TG are the greats no race on earth could give birth. Abrahamic religions are existing because Kurus TG saved Judaism from extinction, he's the only non-Jews regarded "messiah" in Judaism. Literature of all civiliations combined can't reach half of Vedic. RgVeda is the oldest IE literature. 40% Earth's population speak Arya languages. Aryas who surpass even great Mesopotamian, Ezyptian can't originate from civilizationless Steppe. Oldest chariot found in "Sinauli" India. None ever rode Chariot in Steppe. Vedics=Aryas=IE. +++++++ Will Durant, American historian. "India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all." William James, American Author "From the Vedas, we learn a practical art of surgery, medicine, music, house building under which mechanized art is included. They are encyclopedia of every aspect of life, culture, religion, science, ethics, law, cosmology and meteorology."
There's a huge lobby of Celts across the globe, they're destroying Aryas using Aryas. They circulate Arya deities/heroes in blonde blue eyed all over. It's a question of survival of Bharath, nukes are stationed at our door step. Anti Bharath forces are being created within Bharath & nearby. I can't believe how Aryas in west be st00ge of subhum@ns!!!! I request you to give some contemplation on my study. It's h0rror experience when I found Europe's Aryas has more access to science yet so manipulative, despite learning their R1a1aY R1a1Y aligned with Celts in destroying Bharath. Entire net world is full of Aryan invasion theory.
Actually I seldom see the divide between the West and East what the professor mentioned. Because although we find a large gap in the linguistics between the East-Asian languages and Indian languages, day-by-day we see more and more proofs of Hinduism and Hindu temples, sculpture and tradition in most of the East-Asian countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and such countries. ... Like it is even said that Taj-Mahal which was originally a SHIVA's temple seems like a miniature replica of the famous Angkor-Vat temples.
Sanskrit is an Eden language or primar prehistorical language possibly. Many scientists relate sanskrit to Baltic languages also as oldest live IE languages today. For baltics gives benefits construction of language, similarity of words, meanings, historical contacts with Asia, brahmans going to Asia after invasion of galls, religian also - Lakshmi-Laima connection and their atributes, latvian and lithuanian Dainas languages similarity with vedic song metrics and so on...
It's not only the baltic languages that are acient and have enormous power and revibration. The balts and the slavs were once one nation (forgive me for using this word, as there were no simmular concepts of the same people that far back). A noun, subject, object or verb having a dual form [us two] is only preserved in 3 (4 if you count sanskrit, but it is not a live language anymore, same as latin) languages in the world: Upper and Lower Sorbian and Slovenian. I've yet to figure out why the baltic languages, as people claim they're the most acient of the entire continent, do not have their dual form preserved.
@@ansisbraslins8844 Ansis Braslins I see that Aryan invasion theory as a blatant fiction created by Christians to console themselves that their Christianity is the origin of all religions ... while deep down they all know Hinduism is the father of all religions .. and their Bible is just a book written on teachings given by Jesus after he devoutedly studied hinduism.

Except us(Indians) everyone is studying Sanskrit. Good point is that the language will survive and become popular like Yoga. At the end people from India will travel abroad to master what once originated from their own country. I appreciate people like Mr Dean Brown to understand and promote the language.

I am a Tamil too but I feel Sanskrit belongs to all Indians since time immemorial. This notion of white aryans chasing down the dark skinned people down south is a myth perpetually used by the British and the intelligentsia to rule India. That this a myth has been proven again and again. So, why this exasperation of drawidians getting bullied by Brahmins and the northerners. The people who want to perpetuate this myth today are mostly the politicians in the south and even the media who think they know best. It is these politicians who are holding the people ack, not he religion or the Brahmins. It is high time that Indians of all stripes acknowledge that we all share a common history
Very true. I am very happy to listen this from a Tamil brother/sister. This Aryan-Dravidian is a greatest nonsense myth composed by idiot William Jones and Max Muller to create infighting amongst ourselves. Tamil and Sanksrit are both languages of same soil. There is nothing called Noth or South people here. All have same DNA class. Actually original name of the country was Aryavratha (city of noble people). Then changed to Bharatvarsha(by ruler Bharata), then Hindustan(my mughals) and finally India(by Britishers). Who have rules this nation, have changed its name. Time to reinvent Sanksrit and rename the country to Aryavratha.
Our Dharma name is not Hindu, its Arya Dharma, and we all are Arya Putra.
Vande Mataram.
Very well said, there is no better way to it!
cheers
Partha Sarathi Didn't William Jones say that the European languages derived from Sanskrit? Does that not do India honour?
I agree
Partha Sarathi Regarding the word Arya, I want to say it is confusing and debatable. Many South Indians believe it is a different invading race, many brahmins believe they r descendants of Aryas, and the Allied powers of WWII shiver in the name of Arya. Again there is the believe that Arya means "noble". In pure Sanskrit Arya means "arrived" as an adjective. Some claim "Aryavarta" is India, and others, "North India". On the other hand I want to make the point that it was Hindus only in the whole world who never named their religion. Whenever they mentioned Dharma (not Religion but loosely translated as Duty), they used the phrase "Sanatan Dharma" (Eternal Ways). We now translate Religion as Dharma. So actually we are Sanatandharmis or Sanatanis and our land Sanatanbhumi (The Eternal Land). Please consider this. Please also take into consideration that Bhaarat is derived from the name of a mythical king Bharat. So the name of our religion should be changed from the wrongly pronounced Hindu (Sindhu>Hindu) to Sanatandharma or Sanatan (Noun used as adjective). Then we become Sanatanis (The one with the eternal faith or plainly the eternals) and our land Sanatanbhumi (or the land of the Eternals). One day the whole world will be rightfully Sanatanbhumi, unified in heart, in the belief in One where all believes will have place, including atheism. The conquest will be by winning the hearts of people, not through conquest of land (as done by Mughals), or seas (as done by British) or space (as done by Americans).
I am learning sanskrit....some times when speak it i feel like am talking the language of gods. Each word has specificity, each word is designed very scientifically. when i utter the slokas sometimes i feel like some metaphysical dimension is opening around me.

+ajaykumar sandula There is a small problem. We get here truth in a language which is grey and to my humble opinion still full of emotions with stupid feelings of superiority. In my language (German) we have a much closer connection to Sanscrit. First all substantives have a gender (die, der,das = female, male, neutre) and what gender have the words in German:
world, sun, earth, majesty, arts, music, science, power, strength, force, discipline ? all female !
Second the German language is able to put substantives together. The English language cannot do it likewise. We put Welt (world) and Schmerz (pain) together and get "Weltschmerz" and arrive at a completely new meaning = feeling universal depressing moods. The German language is by far more flexible as we pick up with no problem words from other languages, especially from French.
Still, coming back to cosmology, English was chosen by Sri Aurobindo to reveal or open the door to a new chapter or episode of the universal evolution. The episode of the homo sapiens, it was a long episode, is coming to an end and the new being with a new supramental consciousness will take over. So, India is and has been in the spiritual domain always no. 1.
The real spiritual and material evolution you can find in "Savitri" by Sri Aurobindo, written in a mode of English which has a supreme level (never have been achieved ever before)
I am born in Tübingen,where a specific dialect is spoken. I moved to Jena, Koblenz, Wuerzburg, Bonn, München and Berlin. The German language is taught in all places in the same way. So the older dialects never had any influence on the unified German language, especially on German literature, which was build up and unified first by Luther ( a bit earlier than 18th century) and brought to the highest level by v. Goethe and later by the romanic poets Kleist, Hölderlin - even by Nietzsche, Thomas Mann - manifested best in their poems.
Why should todays German be artificial? Grammar has not changed. Spelling has been simplified yes. But what are the artificial elements ?
As I remarked two characteristics are outstanding. The gender specification and the use to put substantives( in which language is there something similar)?
Last not least the German language is far more open to new impulses coming from modern Russian, French and English. We invented the word "handy" for mobile and the word "showmaster", both words never used in English.
language is entirely a natural process, labeling it as artificial is itself an artificial viewpoint.
Orly ? So esperanto is purely natural, lol
ajaykumar sandula indeed

Thank you!
You can ask here. What is your question?
What you want to ask?
It's true
Sanskrit has died in north india over the years by converting to prakrits and then modern indo aryan languages(with heavy persian and arabic influence). The islamic rule totally wiped the language off. Only in south indian languages (eg. malayalam) it is still preserved a lot. Tamil is an exception
Telugu has more Sanskrit influence than Malayalam.
Marathi is totally based on Sanskrit.
arakkal abu Yeah, but Sanskrit is still spoken in a few villages in Karnataka and Telangana.
Sankrit was there before Tamil as Shruti. Veda was described with language that is vedic sanskrit. Only taught thru sound. Tamil no doubt was oldest scripted language. Sanskrit Grammar was defined by Panini. Panini is the father of sanskrit grammar.
arakkal abu again another with corrupted by fake and propoganda studies of aryan and dravidians theory. Sanskrit never mentions aryan it does arya meaning the brave or pure or else as Sanskrit have different meaning while dravida meaning from the land where two water or ocean or sea meet. Like penisula. So stop propogating aryan or dravidian theory which was more populaized by german or european. We are not related to them and about people migrating from iran or else. They are there even today persian etc and never called aryan ot what so ever. Our common language in indian subcontinents or even far was Sanskrit and like english today and also have many regional languages.

Sanskrit is the mother of all European Languages… which shows civilisation is an “OUT OF INDIA” phenomenon. The Aryan Invasion theory and the synthetic PIE (Proto-Indo-European Language) was fabricated during the colonial era so European’s could claim ownership of the Sanskrit language. In over 200 years nobody has been able to prove the existence of PIE and the Aryan Invasion Theory or migration Theory has been completely discredited with multiple sources of scientific evidence

That European language is derived from Sanskrit is entirely new to me. Very interesting.
The notion that western languages are descended from Sanskrit as a mother language is disputed.
Yes, still an entirely new idea to me. Extraordinary.
pri22v11
That it be descended from "Sanskrit" as we know it now is disputed. That our languages all come, in evolutionary terms, from a common ancestor, to which Sanskrit (a very old language) is closer... this is not so much disputed - a Proto-Indo-European language has incredible amounts of corroborating evidence. I would still be interested in reading about counter-theories, if you can suggest anything pri22v11, I would be much obliged.
It's why the Nazis were interested in Southwest Asia and the Indo-European region which is where their idea of the Aryan race originates.
Chris Rob People who closely follow and do sadhana based on the Vedas see the proto-European language theory as a theory originating from Eurocentric thinking during the Colonial days. The Vedas see Sanskrit as an eternal language. Basically Europeans and Americans (I'm one myself!) see our culture as being the pinnacle of 'evolution', but Veda sees us as a little blip in time - some ruffians that killed billions of cows, and more. "Searching for Vedic India" book by Devamrita Swami has some good info in this regard.
Thank you Dr. Brown for writing a book on the Upanishads. Thank you Jeffrey Mishlove for recording it, your own knowledge seem to be very commendable indeed.
There is a mention of Upanishads and its relevance to science here. The ancient hindu sages have thought a lot about the cosmos or manifest universe and came to the conclusion that it has to be INFINITE. No other explanation of finite and closed system can provide any conclusion to the debate to the contentious question of the srishti or creation. At first look it may appear some what an escapist excuse to pronounce the srishti as infinite and be done with it. But then the alternative explanations are all highly inadequate and hence they settled for this dimension of ANANTH or infinite. If someone say the universe is finite then pat comes the question, what is there outside of the uni or multiverse? Simialrly if some one says TIME began some 13.5 billion years ago, pat comes the question, what was there before 13.5 billion years ago.
Now, having determined that the srishti or manifest creation is infinite they could not make creator any smaller. Beacuase if the creator god is smaller, then he can not control this infinite srishti and paradoxically and ruefully he will be controlled by the srishti in turn. So what to do. They said the creator god , BRAHMAN is also infinite and this manifest creation is only a small fraction of his creation. Now, everything falls in place and everyone is content.
Vedas, from whom Upanishads were derived are treasure troves of wisdom. Please read the Upanishads, get them from libraries or on amazon. Thanks.

Linguistics comes from Sanskrit. The first literature on grammar in the world were made in Sanskrit over 2500 years ago and it is still relevant today as Backus-Naur Form.
That is why sanskrit is often termed as "mother of all languages" because it was the first to discuss and posit nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives, phonemes, morphemes, phonetics, etymology, morphology. All the things a language needs now and what we learn in school now. Thus proper credit should be given and not ignored.
Sanskrit more ancient than that because mahabharat happened 5000 years ago
panini would be the one who established the study of language in sanskrit, using sanskrit as the meta language itself, and we can find that in the ashtadhyayi
I'm overwhelmed by this conversation. I never knew before what I learnt today.👌👍
What lovely and healthy discussion. Thanks a lot making this type of documentory.
Bringing whole human being in one platform to love each other and peace. Om shanti.
Excellent piece of work by Jeffrey. It shows Vedas and Upanishads in new light. Thanks
Excellent conversation between Dean and Jeffery. Quite educative and motivating for learning Sanskrit.
There are many schools and Sanskrit universities in India and also in other countries.I am learning it from an on line school. It is an easy language to learn and has many benefits due to his everything is pronounced.
I'm glad to choose Sanskrit as second language in my 9th & 10th class. I was able to learn hindi myself so I chose to learn new language. And now I know total 5 language correctly.
Hindi, Khortha, Sanskrit and English now I'm learning Gujarati and Telugu.
@@jethiya7990 even I am proud of studying Sanskrit language in class 6th 7th and 8th
and that makes my total language count to 4 (Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Maithili)
@@pkpk9513 that's good but it was compulsory. 😉 It was basic sanskrit and was part of syllabus not like 9th 10th.

Well,there is no evidence that Sanskrit is the mother of ALL languages.
But of Aryan languages,yes.
@@adityanawani8134 you don't always need an evidence sometimes it's good to live in delusion
Just a few point
1) Sanskrit is called as the "Deva Bhasha" (Language of the GOD). Even for a trained Indian tongue it takes at-least 10 years to learn the exact pronunciation patterns and rules. Coz, you have to regulate and modulate the frequency by your vocal cord.
2) Not just the world but the entire Universe and also beyond Universe (this is a bit tough to visualize for the westerner mind) is just a combination of numerous vibrations of differing frequency. These Sanskrit verses are a frequency transformer. The chanter, upon regular chanting with devotion (Devotion = increased concentration) gradually changes his body vibration from gross materialistic to spirituality. With regular practice it metamorphose you into a higher spiritual plain (body, mind and all your presence).
Excellently put
I doubt Deva(s) have any languages. They communicate beyond languages. Listen in silence
dont try to me smart. dont think westerns are fools in spriituality. be humble. the findings of rishis's are not your finding. so dont take it as your achievement.
this is the kind of thing one says when he hasn't even studied sanskrit once
This is such an overlooked and underrated interview
At 6:02, they said "OM" is the sound of universe !!
Really u think universe has sound 😂😂
@@netaji-thebritishslayer it doesn't really translate to "sound". But the word OM has significant value itself. If you are really watching videos on linguistics you should have already known that you can't justify Sanskrit words (a vast and rich language) by using English (an Over simplified language with lot of errors)
@@AnkitRawat-ry3gmthere are no errors in english… or any language for that matter, there are words which are untranslatable in a philosophical context in every language, om in sanskrit, logos in greek, geist in german, etc

***** no Malay as in native language of Malaysian people.
Aiman Travista I taught Malay was a Austro Asiatic Language with high influence of Tamil and Sanskrit Loan words in it due to the presence of southern indian (tamil) rulers in that region. Correct me if I'm wrong
+Manjunath S Yes it is a Polynesina Language with high influence of Sanskrit and Tamil, which is the case of almost every South East Asian languages. but they have no presence in Indian Subcontinent. Malayalam is a totally different language present in South Indian state of Kerala.
Manjunath S, Because Malayalam came from Sanga Thamizh. 50% Sanga Thamizh and 40% Sanskrit using in Malayalam. Balance 10%
Was own words. Malayalam is mixer of Samskrutha and Damiskrutha.
Thank you very much Professor Dean Brown for expressing so beautifully about Vedas and Sanskrit. 🙏
Sanskrit, the language is a treasure trove in itself. An ancient language that holds immense amount of wisdom, scientific and metaphysical realities intertwined with each other, so much intuition - what else remains after this ? A pure consciousness is the creator, whether it is god or anything else is a matter of debate, but this theology is very human, this perception of the cosmos is sheer wisdom. Brahman and Atman alignment works in sync creating and recreating the universe again and again ! 🙏
The beauty of Sanskrit language: Vocabulary is infinite. There are meaning associated with every alphabet or we can also call it vibration and you can split a word in to its basic vibrations and derive the meaning. These alphabets are designed in tune with vibration of the cosmos and hence Sankrit mantras have tremendous power. You repeat a mantra (destined for a purpose) focusing to improve a situation or illness and you can see the result yourself. We can measure the vibration of one's aura ( or the bioplasmic body) when we call a person a name and determine which name would be more appropriate in expanding his/her consciousness. For every word there is vachyarth ( verbal or logical meaning) and bhavarth (emotional or creative meaning). The language is powerful to express meanings in very precise way. In English we say love but in Sanskit there are hundreds of words to express love- love of an elder towards an young, love of a mother, love between partners, love or devotion to God, extreme feeling of love as bliss etc. A two line sloka from a vedic text when translated in other languages becomes as essay that span across many pages. Sanskit is based on communication using feelings so one should comprehend both vacharth and bhavarh to comprehend the meaning. The ability to comprehend the bhavarth is up to the stage you have evolved your consciousness. Each time you read a sloka, you come to know more dimensions of its bhavarth. It is essential to be in the level of consciousness of an author to truly appreciate and understand his writings. Hence it is important to learn this language to truly understand the old texts in its original form, vedas and the science of physics, quantum physics, mathematics, astrology, astronomy, Ayurveda ( medicine) the philosophy, culture, tradition and millions of scriptures since time before time. We talk in Sanskrit with a slang which is in accordance with the vibration of the words. We should learn it to reap its benefits. In ancient India there was no religion and all was based on Dharma which is a way of thinking of what is most appropriate for one to do provided a situation and this is based on basic understanding that you do not do some thing to others which you do not do to yourself, an act done with pure intention in mind for the upliftment of the other is Dharma. One always raises questions to his own self on whether each thought, word or action he/she does is Dharma. Sanskrit is purely secular and expresses the ideology of a civilized society as this itself is one of the word meaning of Sanskit ( "Civilized"). We forgot our civilization and culture and it is time to remind ourselves who we were, what we are n how we want to be.
Sanskrit is actually a sophisticated form meant for writing of scriptures and mantras. The coloquial counterparts are Prakrit. Saanskritik(Traditional)> Sanskrit, Praakritik(Natural)> Prakrit. We see such cases in many other languages. Especially in Literature studies.
Who's interviewing whom here ?
Really liked how aware and informed the host was !!
And do remember that this man was a scientist...since everybody is so SCIENCE-OBSESSED. Prof. Dean Brown was a physicist, mathematician and computer scientist. His interest in philosophy led him to study the Upanishads and the Yoga Sutras and naturally ofcourse Sanskrit.
Lovely, Sanskrit learning will enhance one's brains development. The reason why it has died out in India was due to the fact that the teaching of the vedas was not taught to every Indian, only the brahmins and few others kept it to themselves. If Sanskrit along with the vedas were taught like the bible , koran and dharmapada to all , it would be the strongest and most pratical method of living...

Luckily almost all western languages derive from the same proto-IndoEuropean language as sanskrit.
I'm a south Slav (Croatian) and I'm always fascinated how simmilar and familliar some sanskrit words sound to me. There is a strong connection between the West and India, we influence eachother over and over again throughout millenias.
Thank you very much Mr Dean Brown for the video. God bless you.
Beautiful ! Thanks for the upload.
love listening to wisdom keepers who share their knowledge, great conversation.
I'm a Psychology student and like hindu culture. While reading the Bhagavad-Gita and learning about Advaita Vedanta and other ideas, it really seemed to me like an "ancient Psychology", because of its understanding of our spiritual and psychological natures. Now that he mentioned how Sanskrit is so precise in describing consciousness and mind etc., it really makes sense to me.
A lot of text has been lost but still reading something from 5-7 thousand years back and still having such incredible information is just other wordly , people misrepresent them as Religious texts but for me they feel like encyclopaedia , a way of life
Interesting to hear that it is the Tantras (the shamanic practices of the proto-vedic people) that evolved into the Vedic metaphysics!

Outstanding interviewer, J. Mislove, deserves credit for conducting an informative interview of Dr. Dean Brown. This was a tight 23 minutes that could easily have become garbled. It held my attention and walked me steadily forward. I cannot say I agree with notions of 'everything being everything' and 'everything being nothing' but such an idea is as good as any when all thinking is seen as an hypothetical tool. Any thesis creates order in the pause required to consider it and a philosophy is a collection of thoughts seeking to hold the pause in one's the thinking ad infinitum. Well done lads. Carry on.
I am Indian.... proud to be indian...for ever...
Instead of promoting Sanskrit our government is promoting Hindi.
Sanskrit is Mother of almost all language
Yes it is
Sanskrit is not the eldest or the brother it like all other languages is the off spring of the mother Greek language. Every word in Greek has a meaning, example you can not call a "cloud" a "car" in English, Sanskrit and all other languages the word "mother" only has the meaning that was attached to it, if "bar" was attached instead of "mother" then we would be calling our moms "bar" but in Greek you cant do that because every word has meaning, "mother" "miter" comes from Eve the first mother and just like Eve was made without earth the word miter means mi=without ter=earth. What does mi ter mean in Sanskrit or English? jack chit.
well most of the languages, not all of the languages brother. No offence!!!
"Language" another Greek word thank you very much. It comes from lingua which comes from glossa, I wonder without Greek how would you be able to speak? and say your bs like "Indo-European" you wouldn't you would speak like the barbarian that you are with grunts and noises.
You dumb ass even your user name is Greek, kriminos logia en ekaton en, ekatonthrough the formation of dialects became ekathron, ekhathron, ekhadron, ehandron, handron and the rest is history, gee what do ya know another Greek word, istoria.
I grew up in TamilNadu in the 80's, Hindi was very very rare and completely ignored as it did not mean anything. Sanskrit was non existent or limited to fee temples around where a Tamil brahmin priest (with or without understanding) chants sanskrit mantras. I still see it that way... Tamil for regular communication, Hindi (to watch some movies) and Sanskrit in the temples.
Bro people hated Sanskrit because of Brahmans , who gave birth to Caste system in Hinduism and tried to establish their superiority. In Rigveda there is no caste system but Later it was developed by them. Sanskrit was developed much before Brahman's caste system
Why these f^¢king tamil d|¢Kh£@ds so much obsessed with Sanskrit language, no one gives s#it about there language Tamil 🤡 on which they have illogical claims
Learning Sanskrit while staying in the Western world is very appreciated. To understand Sanskrit you have to be an Indian and stay in India. Anyway, a great beginning. Just one point - Sanskrit is the language through which one may learn our scriptures and the pronunciation is very important. That's why I have emphasized about being an Indian or staying in India. Using the Shalokas with Western dialect will lead to 'nowhere'🙏🙏
Sanskrit language is the softest language and every word of it is polite if even a bad word becomes soft in Sanskrit language so that no one gets hurt by it.....🙏
I am surprised by some of the angry reactions here as although there are mistakes here and there the essence seems to be well understood and the central point that Sanskrit has its roots in a culture that also influenced 'Western language and culture'. One criticism seems to be that he thinks European languages come from India but he does say right at the beginning that Sanskrit comes from 'proto-Indo-european language' as do many ''English, Russian , French ,Greek'' (the first three indirectly). There are a couple of mistakes not long after that for instance "many, many words in the English languages have Sanskrit origins or origins that are traceable to the Sanskrit tradition and the earlier proto-european language" (it's a mistake but it is clear that they understand that there is an earlier language from which both European language and Sanskrit derive. It is made clearer still by the fact they talks just before about Buddhism going from Western culture to the East).
There where many different tribes as some of you say with a probable epi-centre around the Baltic (the earliest evidence of homo-sapiens is not far away in Romania about 40,000 years ago). So he is not saying that European languages derived from Sanskrit but that they both have their roots in a mother tongue (not known). Sanskrit is probably the closest language to that mother tongue (that is known about) apart from the Hittite language. The term Aryan relating to the modern name Iran originally was a term that simply referred to the people of that area (and later came to mean noble) by the time these peoples arrived in Iran their language had changed into what is now termed Indo-Iraninan, it then entered into India in several forms as it was un-codified so there where regional dialects. The Rg Veda was written in Vedic sanskrit which was then supplanted by the formalised classical sanskrit organised by Panini who apart from other changes assorted some pre-extant Indian words (elephant for example).
There is also a criticism of his pronunciation of Sanskrit which is forgivable but I am unclear which of his translations are completely wrong? nmg70nmg it would be great to chat those through if you're up for it?
Someone else comments that Buddha was born in Nepal not India which is correct although again the area was probably not called Nepal but was again more of a region of principalities first occupied by the Tibeto-Burmese about 2,500 years ago. The area is first referred to in the Atharaveda Parisista which was composed considerably later than the veda(1200-1000 BCE) on which it expounds (disliked by Buddhist and Jains in some of the scriptures). At the time Lumbini was what in what which really was a conglomeration of kingdoms and principalities. It was not until the time of the third Mauryan Emperor Ashoka's reign that we can see a unified 'India' which at the time would have included Lumbini (prior to which Kalinga remained separate - it was said to be the bloody war on the plains of Kalinga that converted Ashoka to non violence and Buddhism). Anyway although yes it is more accurate to say Nepal it is not as straight forwards and a forgivable convenience to use the term India which again was not the name of the region even at the time of Ashoka.
I liked Omondi Akura comments ''when we talk about ancient India what we are referring to is not the current geographical boundaries but the ancient geographical and cultural boundaries together.''
One of the comments was very unpleasant about the Indian culture I suppose this is a 'Troll'? Luckily the gaping holes in the arguments (and the careless way in which it was written) mean that it undermines itself. I understand that looking at some of the degeneration of Indian culture such as the caste system, bad hygiene and abject poverty may give a bad impression but anatomy, astronomy and mathematics (what would we do without the zero?) such as we use in the West originated in India. In India written language is traceable at least 4,500 years and it is likely that India was the first place to invent the plough. A look at the incredible architectural achievements and advanced metal work of the country out surpasses most of what was being created in Europe at the time. Part of the difficulty India has has been created by aggressive raids on the country not east by the Brits (I am a Brit and love this land and our culture but this is an undeniable fact of our past). Not only that in many areas again India is on the rise if you look at large parts of Indian history it has been down only to get up and become again a major inspiration in science, craft and culture.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. I'm Indian and although I have learnt Sanskrit from school, I don't know as much as you do about Ancient India. So, thank you once again for inspiring me to educate myself.
Jim its a human nature of exchange-in words.., an santosh, its the global rat-race which lead the schoolin to briefin the history or the root, an many more global matters/ scenes..
Jim Tarran I appreciate you very very much to be an open minded person to accept the truth as it is! After my many years of experiences with many kind of nationalities, British people have nevertheless the courage and audacity to accept new things and acknowledging and nurture it. It makes this small British island the biggest nation in the world! As it proved earlier times, it was not the vastness of a country, it is the people who makes it big and civilized.
In Big India, it'll take a long time to come to where this small British Island had achieved in few years, why? Because there lack the most important part of Human beings; To respect each other in any level of social status. All these wonderful knowledge of Vedic Sciences are useless if it is not used for eradication of poverty, discrimination ( Woman ! ), corruptions and most ugliest ofthem all: CAST SYSTEM! It is going to be a long, long way to com there!
Dear Jim Tarran, vedanta is open to all sir. Its as much yours as is mine. Just because I was born as an indian doesn't give me exclusive right on it but of course gives me advantage. Coming from a completely different tradition the man here is more knowledgable of vedanta and devouted to it than many many indians today. This is commendable and at the same time credit also goes to him and likes of similar intellectuals whose effort will help preserve this precious wealth of mankind...

Best religion ever! Hate my old religion Islam.
Md, nothing can be done. There are some languages and religions they have self effect power. It is matter of time. Any religion become old slowly looses its strength. At the beginning to spread force is used , people kill people to spread and later when it is spread fully. it starts its own effect. It is like a living being. Every living being is strong at childhood, become weaker when old and older finally it becomes historic. It takes 12000 years as per Vedic knowledge. So now after Christianity, Islam has become new. But people in these countries never live in peaceful. Because God is one. we are one. There is incarnation. Today I am hindu and in my next life i may take birth as a muslim or christian. And same for others. This is truth. So better keep every religion safe and peaceful. Let no one fight. all live peacefully. Om Santi Santi Santi. That is the idea of Hindus...
Md Rahman don't hate other religions bro, hindu accept every religion and every way to attain the truth.
Don't underestimate anything.
Islam is a cult
Don’t hate on other religions, it is their belief. But yes I do agree that Hinduism is a very good religion also I’m a hare krsna devotee
Sanskrit is NOT Indo-European. It is purely Indian / Hindu.
Take another look at the "Indo."
By the way, appreciating a language like Sanskrit, does not mean any other language is inferior. Every language has its beauty and there is always a comfort and nostalgia in speaking, listening in your mother tongue. In India we teach Hindi, English and the official language of that specific state as primary languages. We should add Sanskrit also to this list to truly appreciate our culture and philosophy and expand the vocabulary which is used in common across Indian languages. May Sanskit be a unifying factor to appreciate our common culture and inheritance as a civilization. We should uphold the commonality to remind us of our oneness. India always remain secular and appreciate the beauty in every everything and it is the choice of a person to decide what is good for them
Sanskrit is developed by the rishis in deep meditative state thats why it has great and deep significance!
Guys, learn about Tamil language. What is it?
people say that language is aimed by lord Siva, designed by Agathiyar, and published in the presence of Lord Muruga.

OM is "Mine of Infinite virtues (gunas) / potentialities" with each virtue co-existing with its exact opposites in it.....thus balancing the Mine to exactly zero, shunya. From integrated perspective OM is Nothing and from differentiated perspective OM is everything. Nothing contains everything. You take out infinite from it, even then infinite remains.

Aryans originated around Punjab in North West India, Rama is often referred to Arya in the Ramayan, and existed well before 12000 BC, The Arayan influence then moved to Middle East, Western Europe and also East Asia. Aryans did not come from Central Europe to India as Westerners like to believe. Sanskrit is the mother tounge from which other languages like Latin or Greek could have developed
Yes. They can't believe that brown people were civilized before them. Hence, the fake propoganda by the west

Every Sanskrit word has its own meaning .learning Sanskrit gives real happiness .
Kireeti Bharadwaj Every word in all languages has its own meaning. Learning Sanskrit really gives happiness to children because that is the only paper you can score 100, just copying the question paper in answer sheets. Sanskrit is not a mother tongue for any Indians. Then how come, it becomes a mother of all languages?
+Sundar vedanth Regarding the "mother to all languages" point, Sanskrit is the only existing, intact descendant of the Proto Indo-European language. Other Indo-European languages are descendants of another Proto Indo-European language which is now effectively "extinct".
Hence, Sanskrit can be considered as a mother to modern Indo-European languages.
+Dave75Mendis: Glad to hear that. just show some evidence of writings on rocks or palm scripts in India. I am afraid you haven't considered certain things like logic, truth..

I am a native Tamil speaker and well versed in English. Recently I got surprised by the amount of hidden knowledge that Sanskrit can offer. Many of the western scientists were Sanskrit scholars ex: Schrödinger, Bohr, Heisenberg, Oppenheimer, Fibonacci etc took knowledge and inspiration from Sanskrit.
You will soon realise that Tamils are living in illusion that their language is the oldest surviving language ,also the knowledge present in Sanskrit in diverse fields like Mathematics, Astronomy, Medicine, Surgery, Economics, Philosophy etc is way more richer than Tamil language
@@-hindihinduhindusthan7111 I would disagree to it. If you have read the Tamil scriptures you can get so much amount of knowledge comparable with Sanskrit. But Sanskrit explores science and mathematics unlike any other language.
@@-hindihinduhindusthan7111disagree as a maratha. he is right❤
Sanskrit was ruined for me because of a terrible teacher I had back in school. Here in India, we CBSE students have to choose between Sanskrit and French after fourth standard as a third language. I found it odd that students of French could introduce themselves in French after only a month of studying it, while none of us ever understood even a little of the Sanskrit syntax. Although our teacher was capable of teaching well, she was simply unwilling to explain topics to us and was always very grumpy. Easily, the worst teacher I have ever had.

Hi Dave, perhaps, you might be interested in knowing that other than "jal", "Pani" and "neer", there're other terms for water in sankskirt: "Ambu, Amrit, Udak, Som and Wari (water?), Toy". You would probably be also interested to know that other terms in Latin for terms (or waterlike) are: "Unda (Udak?), Imber (amrit?). Also the Greek words for water is Hudor(Toy?). I'm not implying that they're definitely related. I've never studied this. I just learned these synonyms for water in school.
Westerners are appreciating what we could not. What a shame

Too bad there's not much more available on Prof. Brown. Very interesting material here. Invaluable.
it is called samaskritham. samam is common. and it was conceptualised to make it not only easy to use but also nice to hear for foreign ears.
The interviewer mentioned about Brahman around 12:33, and then at 12:54, called it the Supreme deity...Just to clarify here, Brahman is not known as a deity. We don't worship Brahman simply because normal human beings cannot communicate with Brahman like the other deities.
Now as for the Supreme DEITY, there is Lord Brahma who is the God of creation, meaning the creator of all that is living. There is a very big difference between Brahma and Brahman...Where Brahman is indeed the very essence of the universe, the omnipotent "entity" that is present within every human soul, the "Atman", thereby making us humans being tied with Brahman via our souls. This is how the Buddha came to be known as the enlightened, awakened one, because he realized his self as one with the Supreme One, the Brahman. According to the Upanishads, the Brahman is known as the ultimate reality of all existence. An entity that shares no human feelings, but is something that is responsible for every event that went on from the beginning of the universe to its end as well.

Brahmin is the supreme deity, we all have to become one with the atman . When we attain moksha, we dont cease to exist, rather we become brahmin - a physical form of the atman. Atman is the soul, at its paramount. Hence he said that brahmin is the supreme deity. Its unfortunate that cruel kings and some wicked brahmin community members have spread the wrong notion among the common people . You must read vedas and upanishads from the age you began to speak, dont memorise it, but try to understand the basic essence of those texts.
Tanishq Chauhan Brahman* ... Brahmin is a caste.
THE MAGIC MANTRA
How you did that
Glad I found this site today. March 5, 2017
If you look carefully, you will find that the letter Sri in Sinhalese is the same as Swastika which has been rounded at edges by monks who wrote works of art (probably the same thing Shakespeare did with English). We find Swastika in rock inscriptions of 5k years old.
I was hoping actually to hear something about the language itself...
language is spoken by gods (sanskrit) . Mantras are sung and recited in sanskrit..
+Adrian Bury Agree, Here are few similarity
Surya=Sun
Dwar=Door
Matru= Mother
Bandhu=Brother=Bruther(german)
Pitru=Pater (latin)=Father
Ek= Aucho(spanish)= One= Ein(german)
Dwo=Dos(spanish) = Two=
Tri=-Tres(spanish)=Three
Spanish Number match exactly with sanskrit.
Rita=Right
Deva=Devine=Deus(greek)
Prakriti= Practical
Aum=Amen=Alohim(jews)
List goes on
I am not good Laguaist, So forgive Me
If I responded do n to make any sense.
Mahendra
god need a language to speak?
Not really
+TheSeventDoor yes when he came to this earth
Why doesn't this video have billion views
I don't understand why most of the western scholar try to connect Sanskrit and Indian Vedas with the West. There are no Strings attached. Sanskrit and Vedas go back to time when there was no concept of Jesus and other tradition existed.
Vivek Kumar Singh western culture is much developed in the lines of following some of these texts
Vivek Kumar Singh
Well because Jesus is actually not even western.
However there there are real european gods. who are vedic i.e. Mithras(Mitra),Wotan(Varuna),
Ogon(Agni)
Days Of The Week in English are also derived from Sanskrit. Not from Greek or Latin.
They are derived from tamil .
just imagine the use of sanskrit in writing programs and codes,it will be terribly awesome
Hmmm can try ,first need learn sanskrit !!nice thought
the very first 2 minutes disappointed me.......can u please stop using the word india.....not "india" but "hindu"
u r sayin any///thats not enough for my problems with india but i dont want to bother u as well as myself listin them here
India is the english form of oldgreek. Indus which itself is from oldpersian. Hindu that has its root in oldindian. Sindu. So it is allright.
Whats the problem? Most countries have different countrynames. So Iran was long known in the West as Persia altough the iranians never refered to their land or country as Persia. But they call it Persia cause the persians were the most influental iranian group in the history of Iran. The same for India; It would be awful if everyone should refer to a country by the selfname.
So what is exactly your point? Sry to ask but i got the impression that the countrynames India and Hind (-ustan) should not be used for today india?
***** because nepal is a hindu country but india is a orgin of hinduism...At the time of orgin hinduism is the only religion...Now in india 83% of indians are hindu...other religions are spreaded during various Invasion against india...
There is no proto european language but there is only Sanskrit!!! Its called proto european because the West didn't want to think that their language derived from a country of brown people
All I-E languages born from Sanskrit, language of Vedics/Aryas. Sanskrit is PIE.
👉All European, Mediterranean, C.Asian, G.steppe nations are founded by race of Bharath (Vedic/Arya). Kings, warriors of West, C.Asia, G.steppe are R1a1a/R1a1Y {Vedic warrior caste (Shatriyas)}, this marker didn't exist in steppe to Europe before 1k BCs. They've descended from CimmeArya, Saka, Sauromata, Alani, Roxolani, TochaArya, Kushan, Wushun, Xiangno, Khotan Aryas who've conquered G.steppe then Europe, China in the 1k BCs from India-Iran region when Vedics from India already conquered upto Anatolia (Mittani-Hatti-Hari) in 2k BCs. Greco-Roman descended from M-H-H Aryas, only Aryas can bring IE language, chariot, Mitra, thunder/sky God, astronomy, astrology, funerary cremation in Greece-Italy. Aryas in west have turned blonde/white breeding with white women (Celts R1bY Yamnyan, Veneds R1aY Sintashtan) like brown Jews have turned blonde. Aryas are brown skinned, dark haired/eyed (Check G-R, Irani, Saka, TochaArya, Kushan frescoes). Europe's Monarchies came 1300 years after Sakas monarchy of 700 BC., literature after 7th c CE. Greece-Italy Monarchies came 1000 years after M-H-H.
Proven conquest of west by Aryas.👉In 2k BCs Mittani-Hatti-Hari conquered upto Anatolia.
👉In 800 BCs CimmeArya, Saka conquered Balkan, Ukraine, Russia.
👉In 500 BCs Parsha conquered Greece, Balkan.
👉In 400 BCs. Sauromata, Alani conquered upto Ukraine, then to British Irish Isles, remember RgVedic Goddess Danu.
👉 In 400 CEs one Alani branch conquered Spain raiding Greece, Italy.
👉In 4th c. Hun conquered half of Europe descending from Tocha-Arya, Wushun."
++++++++
👉Since 800 BCs white (Celts, Veneds) & C.Asian trib@ls are en$laved by Aryas (CimmeArya, Saka, Sauromata, Alani, Roxolani, TochaArya, Kushan, Wushun, Xiangno, Khotan).
👉Whites are next en$laved by Roman descending from Mittani-Hatti-Hari Aryas.
👉Next en$laved by Hun descending from Tocha-Arya, Wushun Aryas.
👉Next en$laved by moors for 700 years, moor leaders are Irani Aryas.
👉Again en$laved by Turk, Mongol. L0rds of Turk, Mongol tribals are Tocha-Arya, Xiangno, Wushun Aryas.
👉Lords of Turk, Mongol, Avar, Khazar, Tatar trb@ls are Tocha-Arya, Kushan, Wushun, Xiangno, Khotan Aryas. Xiangno, Wushun, Kushan conquered China, Tibet. Shatriyas of eastern India conquered SE Asia, possibly China bringing chariot & great flood mythology (ref. GE Gerini). R1a1a/R1a1Y are in Chinese, Tibetan, Turk, Mongol, SE Asian, Jews, Arab. Nations' kings don't share common race with $laves, commoners. Trib@ls don't give birth to conquerors. Shatriya Arya, Ezyptian, Mesopotamian are only martial races.
++++++++
Whites trib@ls (Celt, Vened or old Slavic) aren't IE/Aryas or warrior race, no evidence of native language. Let alone riding chariot, didnt even ride horse. Roman labelled them subhum@n. IBN Fadlan described yellow haired are f!lthiest of God's creation. Till 10th c. r@ping, hum@n s@crifice were their custom. Stark contrast of people in a continent confirms different races. Whites aren't martial race but they @nnihilate weakers, they've @nnihilated native Euros. Roman, Saka, Sauromata, Alani, Hun Aryas could do the same with whites but didn't. In last 1k years Aryas in west assimilating with whites commited gen0cides of American, African, Asian, Australian. Hiroshima nuking, WW1/2. British rulers who are Arya R1a1a/R1a1Y l00ted $45 tril. alone from India & feeding white p@rasites leaving over 10 mil. starved to death. Vedic civilization is destroyed by her own long lost children.
++++++++
West isn't one race. Stark difference in civiliation confirms different races. There are Aryas, Celts, Veneds, Phonecian-Etruscan from Middle East, Negroids from sub Sahara, some C.Asian, some native Euros, Gypsies, Mongoloids.
++++++++
Shatriyas are founder of Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism. Shatriya Buddha, Mahavira, Ashoka TG, Kurus TG are the greats no race on earth could give birth. Abrahamic religions are existing because Kurus TG saved Judaism from extinction, he's the only non-Jews regarded "messiah" in Judaism. Literature of all civiliations combined can't reach half of Vedic. RgVeda is the oldest IE literature. 40% Earth's population speak Arya languages. Aryas who surpass even great Mesopotamian, Ezyptian can't originate from civilizationless Steppe. Oldest chariot found in "Sinauli" India. None ever rode Chariot in Steppe. Vedics=Aryas=IE.

Will Durant, American historian.
"India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all."
William James, American Author "From the Vedas, we learn a practical art of surgery, medicine, music, house building under which mechanized art is included. They are encyclopedia of every aspect of life, culture, religion, science, ethics, law,
cosmology and meteorology."
There's a huge lobby of Celts across the globe, they're destroying Aryas using Aryas. They circulate Arya deities/heroes in blonde blue eyed all over. It's a question of survival of Bharath, nukes are stationed at our door step. Anti Bharath forces are being created within Bharath & nearby. I can't believe how Aryas in west be st00ge of subhum@ns!!!! I request you to give some contemplation on my study. It's h0rror experience when I found Europe's Aryas has more access to science yet so manipulative, despite learning their R1a1aY R1a1Y aligned with Celts in destroying Bharath. Entire net world is full of Aryan invasion theory.
Actually I seldom see the divide between the West and East what the professor mentioned. Because although we find a large gap in the linguistics between the East-Asian languages and Indian languages, day-by-day we see more and more proofs of Hinduism and Hindu temples, sculpture and tradition in most of the East-Asian countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and such countries.
...
Like it is even said that Taj-Mahal which was originally a SHIVA's temple seems like a miniature replica of the famous Angkor-Vat temples.
Mother...maatha
Father...pitha
Day...dhin
Three..thri..
Brother..braatha
The list is long
For phonetic similarity
Sanskrit is not earthen it is alien language was come from another world by Gods and goddess.
Sanskrit is an Eden language or primar prehistorical language possibly. Many scientists relate sanskrit to Baltic languages also as oldest live IE languages today. For baltics gives benefits construction of language, similarity of words, meanings, historical contacts with Asia, brahmans going to Asia after invasion of galls, religian also - Lakshmi-Laima connection and their atributes, latvian and lithuanian Dainas languages similarity with vedic song metrics and so on...
It's not only the baltic languages that are acient and have enormous power and revibration. The balts and the slavs were once one nation (forgive me for using this word, as there were no simmular concepts of the same people that far back). A noun, subject, object or verb having a dual form [us two] is only preserved in 3 (4 if you count sanskrit, but it is not a live language anymore, same as latin) languages in the world: Upper and Lower Sorbian and Slovenian. I've yet to figure out why the baltic languages, as people claim they're the most acient of the entire continent, do not have their dual form preserved.
@@ansisbraslins8844
Ansis Braslins I see that Aryan invasion theory as a blatant fiction created by Christians to console themselves that their Christianity is the origin of all religions ... while deep down they all know Hinduism is the father of all religions .. and their Bible is just a book written on teachings given by Jesus after he devoutedly studied hinduism.
Nice try btw
ROHIT DAHIYA
Baltic people actually are very pagan.
@@adityanawani8134 ?indians are hindus .. Europeans are Christians .. srilankans are Buddhist ... Baltics are pagan?
You can't generalise like them .. majority might be .. but not all
