I have been committed myself into teaching Sanskrit grammar, especially Panini-sutras, as well as chanting, in Japan and the world. Please do study Sanskrit. This is the language of Vedic wisdom, which makes human full and complete.
Without a doubt, Sanskrit is One of the best languages in terms of its politeness, sweetness, and logic. I have been studying Sanskrit just to understand the works of My master Adi Shankaracharya and Madhvacharya. By their grace one day I will understand their works...
Just to know myself better, It is incumbent upon me to study them properly and profoundly. Looking at your question, It seems that You have never studied them. In that case, you must first study one of his book and grasp the pearl of wisdom. Have a nice Reading!!!!!!!!
But the philosophies of Shankara and Madhva are diametrically opposite. Shankara is an absolute non-dualist and propounded the theory of Maya. Madhva is a dualist, a devotionalist and a Vaishnavite. How can you consider both to be your masters?
@@tejas.c There is nothing wrong in studying both Philosophies and consider each of them as masters. Each of philosopy are the experiences of each saint/acharyas. Each wrote their bhasyas based on their experience in life and travel and understanding. Mr Arif can study even Ramanujacharya's philosophy. Ramunjacharya who was a Advaita student (of Shankaracharya) had differing views. It seems he disagreed even with a Vaishnava Guru on certain interpretations. He disagreed with some Shankaracharya’s Advaita interpretations and propounded the Vishishtadvaita philosophy based on his interpretations of Vedas and shastras obviously causing displeasure among Advaita followers. After studying each of them, it is possible, he may agree any philosophy or may not like any of these interpretations, or he may like blend of two of more philosophies. Kannada Philosopher Padmashri Bannanje Govindacharya, who on his own admittance was once an atheist, studied Shankara, Madhva and Ramanujacharya, but, however considers personally Madhavacharya's interpretations most reasonable . I dont think all these Acharyas have differing views on everything in shastras. Only certain points like Maya, duality is where they differ and maybe some a few other concepts. Sankaracharya and Mandana Mishra disagreed on some aspects in shastras. Ancient India has been a great place encouraging debates. Thats how vast knowledge grew and great universities existed in India. Debates and Questions from the time of Ashtavakra in Janaka's royal assembly to time of Sankaracharya against Mandana Mishra and Mandana's wife also!. Mandana Mishra later became a shishya of Sankaracharya. Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has different views on Hindu philosophy although admittedly he has not studied Indian scriptures and does not endorse any religion. When Indians themselves from yore have had wide disagreements on various Hindu cultures and have been living with more or less tolerant manner, it should not be a problem in having another set of views from another person like Sheldon Pollock however intolerant it maybe. There have been differing interpretations of our own scriptures in our own country. SriRama's family preceptor was Sage Vasishta. But later, on the advice of Vasista himself Rama learnt many things from Sage Vishvamitra. During the exile, Rama in Ramayana and the Pandavas in the Mahabharata learnt from many sages in the forest.
Interesting i had the opposite experience when i was learning Sanskrit, i was told that Greek is similar in grammatical structure. I had learned Latin first and then years later currently studying Sanskrit. Lots of similarities indeed!
Latin is it's own linear evolution from Sanskrit & not from Greek. Greek, Armaic, Arabic & Hebrew are closer related but evolved from Sanskrit. Basically all languages are regional dialects of Sanskrit.
What the fuke .Sanskrit not mother language for India ok. I am from Tamil nadu In my language Tamil is oldest language in the world's do you know. so don't create fake history
It's such a beautiful and amazing language. And in my opinion, it seems to sound like it contains all the sounds a human mouth can make. When I heard a Sanskrit prayer on the internet, it's like I heard little pieces of every language in it. Incredible language. Also a small correction on your English: "it *is* satisfying
John Scottus School in Dublin, Ireland has been teaching Sanskrit since 1986! That is 31 years. There are other Schools of Philosophy for children around the world in South Africa (St James; Jo'burg), Australia (John Collet; Sydney and Erasmus; Melbourne), London (St. James), Trinidad, New Zealand (Ficino; Wellington).
上杉謙信 It’s an amazing opportunity for children to learn an ancient language as this can benefit learning in other areas as well. Sanskrit is very pure and logical and is beautiful to write and sound.
Its a pity. Yet we in india cannot find a sanskrit graduate or post graduate course. The seculars and islamists object to it. Muslims have considered speaking sanskrit or words from sankrit as blasphemy from their prophet and allah. Sanskrit will flower in the west like yoga and maybe we indians will learn it in its new westernized form. That is our bane but something is better than nothing.
Father of atomic bomb JR Oppenheimer learnt Sanskrit so that he could first hand understand Bhagvada Gita. After Trinity test he recalled the words from Bhagvada Gita- “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”.
no you will never learn sanskrit........you dont even know how to read and write gurubani perfectly...LMFAO.......forget about sanskrit........people in india dont care about their own mother toungue.....btw...in a 100 years people will talk more english than they are now because all schools are teaching only in english medium........no one cares about sansrit.....i understnd the speech is great but i am a practical person and there is no application of sanskrit or any other languages in everyday business, technology, sports, politics and fashion or glamour world which are the most addictive and affective means to influence people. can you teach medicine and engineering in hindu or bengali or tamil?......the answer is a clear no cos if you do some how teach it......no one will hire them ......they wont get jobs and they will never find love or girl friends........ask any girl if she wants to date a hindi or telugu medium guy and see her reaction......they will laugh at you fuking face.....truth hurts but you cannot deny it or you cannot do anything about it.

There should be exclusive world class Sanskrit Research Institutes in Each state of India. Then only Sanskrit can be saved. Government and Rich Indians can make this dream possible. Indian culture will only survive if Sanskrit survives.
@@allanprince578 Uh...not true? Indian culture at its core is the Vedas, Upanishads and the Purans that are written in Sanskrit. It is a profoundly beautiful, intellectual and sacred language that simply lost its status in the minds of easily influenced people (who happen to be in high numbers) after the rapid influx of foreign cultures and religions.
@@ananya.a04 Have you noticed that how exact are the pronounciation and the spellings in Sanskrit? I guess other Indian languages have this feature too. It's such a great thing that what we write is what we pronounce unlike English where you will have to follow different rules for pronounciation and then also you will find certain words which are exceptions. I find it fascinating!
Hinduism has many great languages. Samskrut is the mother of all. Tamil is a parallel language and is as ancient as Samskrut. Hindus should take pride in all their languages and celebrate them than debating which one is better.

it is so easy to criticize, but very difficult to stand up in front of a crowd and speak…..This young man did an exceptional job, he deserve an applause1

Sanskrit was a spoken language and is still a spoken language of India. It exists today only in classical form whose grammar was composed by Panini. The hymns are those of Vedic Sanskrit. Scriptures are not stopping innovation. They layout the framework of Sanskrit. What you are doing is following the lines of Sheldon Pollock which will not revive Sanskrit but kill it.
I don't know, how many of them speeking sanskrit in India, don't bluff my frend, accept the truth it is not even a spoken tongue, show me a single empire who ruled in ancient past, tamizh is at least root of all Indian languages including samaskrutham

In my view Sanaskrit should be made the national and official language of India. Most of the asian countries are able to maintain their identities because they have their own language. Take Japan, China, Korea, Thailand as examples.
Absolutely! All Indian languages or at least most of them have Sanskrit origins! Sanskrit must be revived and made official language of India. I'm a South Indian btw!

It's not easy to learn Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the hardest language with chinese and Russian.. in fact, no other language can compare it's grammar to Sanskrit's complexized Grammar.. you can learn a little bit of Sanskrit via internet, but you cannot learn Sanskrit like you learnt English. LoL that's kinda impossible
I'm very curious about Sanskrit. However, I found this talk to be surprisingly devoid of any content. We already know that Sanskrit is Indo-European, so the whole introduction about similarities with Latin and ancient Greek is not surprising. Then the speaker goes on to repeat how perfect the grammar is, and great it is, and never shows any example of it. Finally, all the advantages he claims there are to learning Sanskrit are really advantages to learning any language with complex grammar, such as Latin, Greek, or Russian. So, although I'm still curious about Sanskrit, I didn't learn one single thing from this talk, as much as I appreciate and respect the enthusiasm of the speaker.
I haven't even watched this talk but it seem that the general consensus (maybe only of Indian natives) from this comment section is that this talk was presented poorly and could have been better presented by another expert.

It's not indo-european language it's an INDIAN language composed by Panini of India. Which gave birth to all Indian languages and some Europeans came to India and took some words from sanskrit and created Bumbo jumbo theory called indo-european theory
Spot on...it was created from Greek and Latin.Propogated by indo Europeans the Aryans in India.But North India are fooled by their government by giving them false sense of pride that their forefathers created Sanskrit.The history taught in school and college in India is all cooked up according to whims of govt. When I realized and researched myself I was so disappointed for wasting my time and money in school and college. I at least got to know the truth but still 99% Indians think Sanskrit belong to their race.
This Disinformation is being spread from Ashoka times.. Sanskrit is the one which has pure grammar.. Prakrit is also Sanskrit but with less grammar.. Prakrit varies from place to place.. because Prakrit is all the base of al Indian languages like Punjabi Bengali Oriya etc.. Tamil has very less or no influence from Sanskrit; Kannada Telugu and Malayalam are children of both Sanskrit and Tamil.. there was never a competition like what some vested interests are spreading now..
About time the world recognised the tremendously important position of Samskrit. "Maithreem Bhajatha" composed by Mahaswami Sri Chandrasekara Saraswati was sung in her UN concert by Smt. MS Subbulakshmi. Let's pray for a World Samskrit Day to be announced in 2020 itself.
Felt great to see someone talking about Sanskrit on TED platform. I was fortunate to learn Sanskrit in school and then after many years enhanced that knowledge studying it 3 years part time. I totally enjoy teaching the kids to recite the shlokas and basic grammar. I wish in India atleast every school teaches this language and we have more art forms like music and drama performed in Sanskrit.
Not vinayama विनयम, but vinayam विनयम् . In hindi you don't use virāma sign, because you never pronounce the short 'a' at the end of the word. But this is not the case in sanskrit. In sanskrit short 'a' is always pronounced when written, unless its absence is indicated by virāma. Unless you put the virāma, your word is pronounced as vinayama. Be careful!
Tamil and Sanskrit form the linguistic backbone of Indian civilization . Every Indian language is heavily influenced by either Tamil or Sanskrit ...or even both of them .
Sanskrit is much more widely read, appreciated and learnt than Latin. I hardly know of anyone today actually speaking Latin except may be in the Vatican!
I have nothing against Sanskrit, and it has always intrigued me. This ted talk has to be the first where I can say with certainty that I learnt nothing. Very convoluted speech.
Dear Abhi, I had the privilege to go deeper into the substratum of mythological tales from all over the world as part of my doctoral studies and I really loved to hear your exposition of 'Yama' .

People tend to confound Sanskrit and Vedic language. Here is a anecdot with Kanchi Maha Periyava: The Oldest Language in the World When I went to the Kanchi Mutt to have the darshan of Sri Maha Periyava, there were four foreigners there, an Israeli, an Italian, a German and a British. They had come to do their PhD in Philology on the topic of 'the most ancient languages in the Occidental and the Oriental world'. They were studying Latin, Hebrew and Greek languages in the Occidental part and Sanskrit and Tamil in the Oriental part. Maha Periyava was in his private quarters, performing His Nithya Karma Anushtanas and elaborate poojas; they had waited and desired to take a photo of Him but His kaingaryams refused permission. They were heartbroken that they could not take a picture. All the four of them were standing near a tree since morning waiting for Periyava to finish his poojas and give darshan. They asked His sevakas when He would be done with the poojas but got an unconvincing reply. I told the foreigners that we Indians are used to the way of life at the Mutt, but how had they all been standing for the past 6 hours? One of them looked at his watch and exclaimed, “Oh my God, has it been 6 hours? He is a Man of Certainty and is Beyond Time!” Maha Periyava came in after 10 minutes and we all went and prostrated before Him. Looking at the man (who had the camera hanging around his neck) who had wanted to take the photos, He gestured with His hands that he could take the pictures now. He posed for three photos and stopped him before taking the fourth. ''Why have you all come here and what is the purpose of your visit? ", asked Periyava. ''We have visited many places regarding our research on the most ancient language''. Periyava asked, "So, did you arrive at a conclusion as to which is the most ancient language?" The Israeli replied, "Hebrew is the most ancient in the Occident; but in the Oriental, people say that both Sanskrit and Tamil are the oldest, but we are confused and that is why we are here for Your opinion". Periyava said, "There is another language which is more ancient than all these, it is the Vedic Language. It is the source of even Sanskrit and Hebrew." "There is a verse about rebirth in Hebrew, can you recite it completely?" asked Periyava to the Israeli by giving the man the first two words. The Israeli recited it for 3 to 4 minutes. Periyava looked around and asked some boys, “You have all learnt Rig Veda, can you recite this particular verse? He suggested some mantras to the boys." Those boys recited the Veda Mantras for 5 minutes. Periyava then addressed the Israeli ''Did you understand what these boys recited now?" The four men remained quiet. Maha Periyava smiled and turned to the boys and said "You all will definitely not understand what this man had recited in Hebrew!" He then turned to the Israeli and said, "What you have chanted before is the same as what these boys have chanted!" The 4 foreigners were stunned and did not know how to respond. Maha Periyava told them that he could prove it and asked for a paper and a pen. "In Vedas it is mentioned that the world has been classified into 32 portions/regions. And in each of the 32 geographic regions, Vedas say how the Veda Aksharas have changed/got pronounced in those places!" He asked each of them which region they came from and then explained to them how a particular Veda Aksharam got changed in their individual places! He asked the boys to recite a verse from Rig Veda again and told the men how each Aksharam in Rig Veda in that verse would sound in their Regions! The Sarveshwaran then said, "I will now recite this verse with some difficulty as it has been a long time since I had Abhyasam and the Mahan started to chant the mantra slowly, slightly differing from the basic shloka aksharam so that it matched how it would sound in Hebrew. After he recited the aksharams he asked the Israeli if he understood the recital of the mantra and aksharam and observed any familiarity. To the boys who recited the Vedas, He said, "I will now recite it in a slightly different form based on how each Aksharam will sound in Hebrew. Please do not think it is wrong; there is this injunction in the Vedas that it can be recited this way also." To everybody's astonishment and surprise, the Israeli started to recite in Hebrew what Maha Periyava exactly chanted- the aksharas in a modified form, as it resembled the Hebrew language. The Israeli therefore chanted it together with Him!!! We were all stunned!!! After this demonstration Maha Periyava addressed everyone assembled there, "I told you earlier, the same verse in Rig Veda is present ditto in Hebrew, but the Aksharas have changed slightly. (As we say Yamuna but in the North it is Jamuna, Va in the south is Ba in West Bengal, Paa in Tamil is Haa in Kannada etc). Therefore, the most ancient language in the world is the Vedic language!" Maha Periyava then asked for paper and pen to be supplied to the four men in order to prepare a table and fill it with how the Rig Veda Aksharams sounded in their language. This was completed in 15 minutes. The Israeli was shocked and exclaimed, "This is something unimaginable!" Periyava asked him, "What do you think now, do you now agree that everything has sprung from Vedas?" The look on the Israeli’s face was not convincing. Periyava quipped, "What, Are you thinking why could Vedas not have originated from Hebrew?" The man said, "Yes, it could have been the reverse also, the Vedas could have come from Hebrew". Periyava replied smilingly, "You only have the lock, whereas we have both the key and the lock! It is even mentioned in the Vedas as to which Maharishi from here in India went to your region and spread/taught Vedas in Israel!" The man was fully convinced in the end that the Vedic language is indeed the oldest and the most time honoured. (Translated from Thiruvannamalai Shri Gowrishankar's Tamil video interview) Compiled by Jagadguru Sri Maha Periyava - Kanchi Paramacharya/Fb
Thank you for that story. Most interesting. Now, please tie the claim of original Vedic language to tribal speech in Australia (where there are some 200 languages over 40,000 years old), South Africa (Xhosa), Tierra Del Fuego, Iceland, Druidic, Egyptian, Native American. Did Vedic linguistic ambassadors teach all these people as well??? This is both a serious and sceptical challenge.

Don't know that Tamil is the mother of all languages, but mother to the word Sankrit itself.. Etymology of Sanskrit Sanskrit = Sans + Krit Sans < Sams < Samas < Samans < Saman < Samam (Refined) "Krit" which is the root for "Script" (Writting) Krit < Krith < Kirith < Kiruth < Kiruthu < Kiruku < Kirukal < கிறுக்கல் < கிறு + கல் < கீறு + கல் (கல்லில் கீறுவது - scribbling on rock - writing on rock/stone) கீறு < கீற் / கீர் / கிர் - it is the sound produced when we scribble on stone. Sanskrit = Samam+Kirukku = Refined script (of Prakrit language). Prakrit is the spoken language, whereas Sanskrit created for religious/scientific language.
Lord krishna says “ aham aatma gudakes sarva bhut ashya sthit” which means “ I am the supersoul, o Arjuna, residing in the hearts of all living entities.”
There's no such thing as soul in Sanskrit or ancient Hindu philosophy. There's the concept of Atman, which is different than soul. As the soul is a biblical concept and is limited compared to Atman.
Bless you young man. How commenable that the younger generation are now learning the most advanced language as described by experts. Live long and prosper. :)

I was born in central India, Chhattisgarh. I pursued my undergrad in Karnataka, which was the best decision of my life. I found out that South Indian languages originated from the Dravidian culture which is very similar to Sanskrit when you listen carefully. Though there are some differences in simple day-to-day communication, when you read and understand their proper artistic writing, you’ll notice this. Moreover, they have kept the culture more alive than the North Indians. Their way of cooking, dressing and architecture is still simple and preserved form of ancient India. All in all, we are all Indians and if we can just preserve this culture through art as a whole, rather than just status, it’ll be great. We don’t need advanced technology, we live in the best part of the world. We just need good politics, art and culture.

there is only one way of pronouncing words in sanskrit, the grammar is well defined, the language is made in such a manner that the message of conveyor can be conveyed correctly as well as can be understood correctly by the listener without any confusion in terms of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. And along with that the sounds of the the language are chosen in such a manner so that the heights of the human potential to make sounds can be reached. studies says that sanskrit language is helpful in sharpening ones intellect. Along with all these qualities , there is huge poetic scope in this language. I feel proud to be a part of the land where sanskrit was created.
I have been committed myself into teaching Sanskrit grammar, especially Panini-sutras, as well as chanting, in Japan and the world. Please do study Sanskrit. This is the language of Vedic wisdom, which makes human full and complete.

Without a doubt, Sanskrit is One of the best languages in terms of its politeness, sweetness, and logic.
I have been studying Sanskrit just to understand the works of My master Adi Shankaracharya and Madhvacharya.
By their grace one day I will understand their works...
Just to know myself better, It is incumbent upon me to study them properly and profoundly. Looking at your question, It seems that You have never studied them. In that case, you must first study one of his book and grasp the pearl of wisdom.
Have a nice Reading!!!!!!!!
But the philosophies of Shankara and Madhva are diametrically opposite. Shankara is an absolute non-dualist and propounded the theory of Maya. Madhva is a dualist, a devotionalist and a Vaishnavite. How can you consider both to be your masters?
No problem there is a difference between these two to solve quierry at the end you must read to swami Vivekananda
तथास्तु
@@tejas.c There is nothing wrong in studying both Philosophies and consider each of them as masters. Each of philosopy are the experiences of each saint/acharyas. Each wrote their bhasyas based on their experience in life and travel and understanding. Mr Arif can study even Ramanujacharya's philosophy. Ramunjacharya who was a Advaita student (of Shankaracharya) had differing views. It seems he disagreed even with a Vaishnava Guru on certain interpretations. He disagreed with some Shankaracharya’s Advaita interpretations and propounded the Vishishtadvaita philosophy based on his interpretations of Vedas and shastras obviously causing displeasure among Advaita followers. After studying each of them, it is possible, he may agree any philosophy or may not like any of these interpretations, or he may like blend of two of more philosophies.
Kannada Philosopher Padmashri Bannanje Govindacharya, who on his own admittance was once an atheist, studied Shankara, Madhva and Ramanujacharya, but, however considers personally Madhavacharya's interpretations most reasonable .
I dont think all these Acharyas have differing views on everything in shastras. Only certain points like Maya, duality is where they differ and maybe some a few other concepts.
Sankaracharya and Mandana Mishra disagreed on some aspects in shastras. Ancient India has been a great place encouraging debates. Thats how vast knowledge grew and great universities existed in India. Debates and Questions from the time of Ashtavakra in Janaka's royal assembly to time of Sankaracharya against Mandana Mishra and Mandana's wife also!. Mandana Mishra later became a shishya of Sankaracharya.
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev has different views on Hindu philosophy although admittedly he has not studied Indian scriptures and does not endorse any religion. When Indians themselves from yore have had wide disagreements on various Hindu cultures and have been living with more or less tolerant manner, it should not be a problem in having another set of views from another person like Sheldon Pollock however intolerant it maybe. There have been differing interpretations of our own scriptures in our own country.
SriRama's family preceptor was Sage Vasishta. But later, on the advice of Vasista himself Rama learnt many things from Sage Vishvamitra. During the exile, Rama in Ramayana and the Pandavas in the Mahabharata learnt from many sages in the forest.

in Italy we study ancient Greek and Latin, and when we learn the grammar we also compare with the Sanskrit roots!!
Interesting i had the opposite experience when i was learning Sanskrit, i was told that Greek is similar in grammatical structure. I had learned Latin first and then years later currently studying Sanskrit. Lots of similarities indeed!
Athenas92 don't compare languages ...they are intellectual in their own way.....but u can learn and understand the similarities
He means he compared the shared vocabulary not that he ranked them. They are all PIE languages; like siblings.
hi
Latin is it's own linear evolution from Sanskrit & not from Greek. Greek, Armaic, Arabic & Hebrew are closer related but evolved from Sanskrit. Basically all languages are regional dialects of Sanskrit.

Its a pity. Yet we in india cannot find a sanskrit graduate or post graduate course. The seculars and islamists object to it.

I'm very curious about Sanskrit. However, I found this talk to be surprisingly devoid of any content. We already know that Sanskrit is Indo-European, so the whole introduction about similarities with Latin and ancient Greek is not surprising. Then the speaker goes on to repeat how perfect the grammar is, and great it is, and never shows any example of it.
Finally, all the advantages he claims there are to learning Sanskrit are really advantages to learning any language with complex grammar, such as Latin, Greek, or Russian.
So, although I'm still curious about Sanskrit, I didn't learn one single thing from this talk, as much as I appreciate and respect the enthusiasm of the speaker.
I haven't even watched this talk but it seem that the general consensus (maybe only of Indian natives) from this comment section is that this talk was presented poorly and could have been better presented by another expert.

I at least got to know the truth but still 99% Indians think Sanskrit belong to their race.
From what I have read, Sanskrit was only the language of the priests and the educated, not of the common man.
This Disinformation is being spread from Ashoka times.. Sanskrit is the one which has pure grammar.. Prakrit is also Sanskrit but with less grammar.. Prakrit varies from place to place.. because Prakrit is all the base of al Indian languages like Punjabi Bengali Oriya etc.. Tamil has very less or no influence from Sanskrit; Kannada Telugu and Malayalam are children of both Sanskrit and Tamil.. there was never a competition like what some vested interests are spreading now..

You have taken a great task of spreading the beauty of Sanskrit in USA, the language for nearly 2000 years, considered as the language of a cultural order that exerted influence across South Asia, Inner Asia, Southeast Asia, and to a certain extent East Asia. All the Best. Proud of you.
Really 😁
Just correcting u r timeluen...its almost million yr old...check timeline of hoatorical incidents with indian kalganana...not english modified ...AD nd BC
Kudos to Abhinav.
May this talk, motivate more and more youngsters to take up the study and propagation of Sanskrit.
Vishvaksenah E it will not due to inferiority complex in the mind of indian people, spread by britons and continued by pseduo-secularists, leftists, NDTV like media and Congress type political parties...
Now I want to learn Sanskrit along with Japanese. Thanks for the talk!
It has been three years. Have you learnt Sanskrit ? Do you found it has enlightnened your mind ? Are you have become another proof that its all useless hype and myth ?
Sankskrit should be India's national language
I think India lost its world domination the day she migrated to Hindi from Sanskrit and I don't know why we are still keeping up with it.
Sanskrit and Tamil are one of the best languages to learn.

Many Sanskrit words cannot be EXACTLY translated into English. That's impossible for English to do. That is why your comments didn't changed
@@astesiaa yes bro because sanskirt langauge is not on Google translate. Some words are the same in Hindi and sanskirt so they can be translated but you can not translate a sanskrit language's word because sanskirt is not in Google translate this is the reason of this
@@कट्टरहिन्दू-ख7स there are 100000 scientific words found in Sanskrit, which doesn't even relate anything with any language. I mean, they cannot be EXACTLY translated into English. I cannot even spell them in english language
@@astesiaa sanskirt has many billions words. It's known by me because I'm a student being of this, such as many verbs and all verbs have three ways. three genders and three numbers and different verbs for all of them . This way sanskrit is a long langauge and this is the reason it's hard to learn. But one thing more I would like to tell you that by speaking sanskirt , our toungue get exercise and the brain becomes sharp and many kidda diseases get cured.... Nasa has accepted sanskrit is a miracle in world
@@कट्टरहिन्दू-ख7स Hahaha, thx for sharing this info with me..
I would like to learn Sanskrit, it's my favourite language after all..
Also, learn avestan, it's the closest language to Sanskrit
Sanskrit is spiritual language.
Sanskrit is language of gods.A precious Gift to humanity.
Dr. Hipster 🤣🤣🤣god language ?z🤣🤣🤣
lmao
I appreciate and support your love for sanskrit.
I think this is needed by Indians more who thinks ENGLISSS is like some superior language while they feel ashamed of speaking their own mother tongue
PS: How awesome it would be if Sanskrit is made as our national language?
this nation is not only of hindus
Dr. B.r. Ambedkar tried to make Sanskrit is national language of India but Nehru and some north Indian member's opposed it.because of there ignorance
Don't simply spread lies....can you proof your claim,?
Thiagu Arumugam he is talking truth brother . It's a fact .
@@kalyankumar8059 PROOF!!!?
@@papaisduniyakapapa facts don't need proof. Facts are proof .
Sanskrit and Tamiz should be taught in every school in India. They are divine languages.
People tend to confound Sanskrit and Vedic language. Here is a anecdot with Kanchi Maha Periyava: The Oldest Language in the World
When I went to the Kanchi Mutt to have the darshan of Sri Maha Periyava, there were four foreigners there, an Israeli, an Italian, a German and a British. They had come to do their PhD in Philology on the topic of 'the most ancient languages in the Occidental and the Oriental world'. They were studying Latin, Hebrew and Greek languages in the Occidental part and Sanskrit and Tamil in the Oriental part.
Maha Periyava was in his private quarters, performing His Nithya Karma Anushtanas and elaborate poojas; they had waited and desired to take a photo of Him but His kaingaryams refused permission. They were heartbroken that they could not take a picture. All the four of them were standing near a tree since morning waiting for Periyava to finish his poojas and give darshan. They asked His sevakas when He would be done with the poojas but got an unconvincing reply.
I told the foreigners that we Indians are used to the way of life at the Mutt, but how had they all been standing for the past 6 hours? One of them looked at his watch and exclaimed, “Oh my God, has it been 6 hours? He is a Man of Certainty and is Beyond Time!”
Maha Periyava came in after 10 minutes and we all went and prostrated before Him. Looking at the man (who had the camera hanging around his neck) who had wanted to take the photos, He gestured with His hands that he could take the pictures now. He posed for three photos and stopped him before taking the fourth.
''Why have you all come here and what is the purpose of your visit? ", asked Periyava.
''We have visited many places regarding our research on the most ancient language''.
Periyava asked, "So, did you arrive at a conclusion as to which is the most ancient language?"
The Israeli replied, "Hebrew is the most ancient in the Occident; but in the Oriental, people say that both Sanskrit and Tamil are the oldest, but we are confused and that is why we are here for Your opinion".
Periyava said, "There is another language which is more ancient than all these, it is the Vedic Language. It is the source of even Sanskrit and Hebrew."
"There is a verse about rebirth in Hebrew, can you recite it completely?" asked Periyava to the Israeli by giving the man the first two words.
The Israeli recited it for 3 to 4 minutes. Periyava looked around and asked some boys, “You have all learnt Rig Veda, can you recite this particular verse? He suggested some mantras to the boys."
Those boys recited the Veda Mantras for 5 minutes.
Periyava then addressed the Israeli ''Did you understand what these boys recited now?"
The four men remained quiet.
Maha Periyava smiled and turned to the boys and said "You all will definitely not understand what this man had recited in Hebrew!"
He then turned to the Israeli and said, "What you have chanted before is the same as what these boys have chanted!"
The 4 foreigners were stunned and did not know how to respond. Maha Periyava told them that he could prove it and asked for a paper and a pen.
"In Vedas it is mentioned that the world has been classified into 32 portions/regions. And in each of the 32 geographic regions, Vedas say how the Veda Aksharas have changed/got pronounced in those places!"
He asked each of them which region they came from and then explained to them how a particular Veda Aksharam got changed in their individual places! He asked the boys to recite a verse from Rig Veda again and told the men how each Aksharam in Rig Veda in that verse would sound in their Regions!
The Sarveshwaran then said, "I will now recite this verse with some difficulty as it has been a long time since I had Abhyasam and the Mahan started to chant the mantra slowly, slightly differing from the basic shloka aksharam so that it matched how it would sound in Hebrew. After he recited the aksharams he asked the Israeli if he understood the recital of the mantra and aksharam and observed any familiarity.
To the boys who recited the Vedas, He said, "I will now recite it in a slightly different form based on how each Aksharam will sound in Hebrew. Please do not think it is wrong; there is this injunction in the Vedas that it can be recited this way also."
To everybody's astonishment and surprise, the Israeli started to recite in Hebrew what Maha Periyava exactly chanted- the aksharas in a modified form, as it resembled the Hebrew language. The Israeli therefore chanted it together with Him!!!
We were all stunned!!!
After this demonstration Maha Periyava addressed everyone assembled there, "I told you earlier, the same verse in Rig Veda is present ditto in Hebrew, but the Aksharas have changed slightly. (As we say Yamuna but in the North it is Jamuna, Va in the south is Ba in West Bengal, Paa in Tamil is Haa in Kannada etc). Therefore, the most ancient language in the world is the Vedic language!"
Maha Periyava then asked for paper and pen to be supplied to the four men in order to prepare a table and fill it with how the Rig Veda Aksharams sounded in their language. This was completed in 15 minutes.
The Israeli was shocked and exclaimed, "This is something unimaginable!"
Periyava asked him, "What do you think now, do you now agree that everything has sprung from Vedas?"
The look on the Israeli’s face was not convincing.
Periyava quipped, "What, Are you thinking why could Vedas not have originated from Hebrew?"
The man said, "Yes, it could have been the reverse also, the Vedas could have come from Hebrew".
Periyava replied smilingly, "You only have the lock, whereas we have both the key and the lock! It is even mentioned in the Vedas as to which Maharishi from here in India went to your region and spread/taught Vedas in Israel!"
The man was fully convinced in the end that the Vedic language is indeed the oldest and the most time honoured.

Thank you for that story. Most interesting. Now, please tie the claim of original Vedic language to tribal speech in Australia (where there are some 200 languages over 40,000 years old), South Africa (Xhosa), Tierra Del Fuego, Iceland, Druidic, Egyptian, Native American. Did Vedic linguistic ambassadors teach all these people as well??? This is both a serious and sceptical challenge.

Sanskrit is a mother of all language
सर्वभाषायाः जननी देववाणी संस्कृतं।
Sanskrit, the language of gods, is the mother of all other languages.
{{{AS YOU CAN SEE THE BEAUTY OF SANSKRIT HERE! THE SAME SENTENCE IN SANSKRIT TAKES LESS THAN ONE ROW WHILE IN ENGLISH, IT TAKES TWO ROWS.}}}
◆Actually, in ancient (or vedic) india, people live long due to continuously use of sanskrit as it gives all the benefits of YOGA and PRANAYAMA!!!👍👍👌👌👌
Sound effect on mind of Sanskrit. I listen to Ribhu Gita bought at Sri Ramanashramam, Tiruvannamalai every day from 5:00 to 6:00 keeps my mind away and enjoy Anandam which is beyond Happiness and sorrow. It gives me extra energy through out the day at an age of 80.
sukhino bhavanthu
Don't know that Tamil is the mother of all languages, but mother to the word Sankrit itself..
Etymology of Sanskrit
Sanskrit = Sans + Krit
Sans < Sams < Samas < Samans < Saman < Samam (Refined)
"Krit" which is the root for "Script" (Writting)
Krit < Krith < Kirith < Kiruth < Kiruthu < Kiruku < Kirukal < கிறுக்கல் < கிறு + கல் < கீறு + கல் (கல்லில் கீறுவது - scribbling on rock - writing on rock/stone)
கீறு < கீற் / கீர் / கிர் - it is the sound produced when we scribble on stone.
Sanskrit = Samam+Kirukku = Refined script (of Prakrit language). Prakrit is the spoken language, whereas Sanskrit created for religious/scientific language.
Lord krishna says “ aham aatma gudakes sarva bhut ashya sthit” which means “ I am the supersoul, o Arjuna, residing in the hearts of all living entities.”
There's no such thing as soul in Sanskrit or ancient Hindu philosophy. There's the concept of Atman, which is different than soul. As the soul is a biblical concept and is limited compared to Atman.
Great job Abhinav. Appreciate your efforts for revival of Sanskrit. May divine bless you.

The Sankrit will definitely prove its existence very soon because of people like you. Thank you.
Bless you young man. How commenable that the younger generation are now learning the most advanced language as described by experts. Live long and prosper. :)
I would love to learn Sanskrit! I hope that with all of the much-needed emphasis on STEM we don't forget the language arts in the rush, especially classical languages.
Go to Mattur, Karnataka, India
@@mahalakshmikousalya Mattur brahmins were originally Tamizhs until recently. Just before someone fourty years they were trying to get conveted to Sanskrit speakers. It's just an experiment. Those people are now feeling left out. Tribals in Cameroon, Pakistan, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha who are still untouched by morden civilization are speaking Tamizh even today. Stories surrounding Sanskrit are just a myth and hype.
Wow! Great video! AUM~ Amen. Sanskrit seems to be the Mother of all Languages... Knowledge is more powerful when it is being used for the welfare of all living beings!!! Krishna / Christna / Christ / Christos
Excellent talk! Kudos to the young speaker, and may his tribe of people who recognize what a universal treasure Sanskrit is, increase.
I was born in central India, Chhattisgarh. I pursued my undergrad in Karnataka, which was the best decision of my life. I found out that South Indian languages originated from the Dravidian culture which is very similar to Sanskrit when you listen carefully. Though there are some differences in simple day-to-day communication, when you read and understand their proper artistic writing, you’ll notice this. Moreover, they have kept the culture more alive than the North Indians. Their way of cooking, dressing and architecture is still simple and preserved form of ancient India. All in all, we are all Indians and if we can just preserve this culture through art as a whole, rather than just status, it’ll be great. We don’t need advanced technology, we live in the best part of the world. We just need good politics, art and culture.
Hey, there! I am also an Indian-American, and I will support you in the efforts of preserving the glory of Indian culture, heritage, and civilization!
R u one of them who is surprised to know the interest of ppl in Sanskrit!! through cmt😅😅
A Tamilian praising Sanskrit? That's a first.
Jay nice try. Tamil has more in common with Sanskrit than any other language.
Ha ha
@@gokartgofast no Tamil is Mother of sanskrit
@@gokartgofast no buddy....as you go more from.north to south ..it becomes more dravidian...telugu is more sanskrit than tamil and so on..malayalam separates itself from other south Indian languages
He is a baman , they are fanatical about sanskrit

there is only one way of pronouncing words in sanskrit, the grammar is well defined, the language is made in such a manner that the message of conveyor can be conveyed correctly as well as can be understood correctly by the listener without any confusion in terms of pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. And along with that the sounds of the the language are chosen in such a manner so that the heights of the human potential to make sounds can be reached.
studies says that sanskrit language is helpful in sharpening ones intellect.
Along with all these qualities , there is huge poetic scope in this language.
I feel proud to be a part of the land where sanskrit was created.
Iam an Indian🇮🇳 and iam proud of that i learned sanskrit in my school days.and i am choice it to be continue learning
