Sanskrit is considered one of the world’s oldest languages. It is the greatest gift that ancient India made to the world. Sanskrit is widely acknowledged as the language of the world’s oldest literature.
With the growth of civilization many Indian languages, as well as some neighboring languages such as Singhalese, Burmese, and Malaysian, were depended heavily on Sanskrit words. Sanskrit literature is a vast ocean full from pearls of wisdom. Sanskrit’s script is the first feature that distinguishes it from many other languages. Sanskrit is usually written in Devanagari.
Vedas, Geeta, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Arthashashtra, and many other books, which are still regarded as the finest piece by a large portion of our society can easily be understood if Sanskrit is learned.
“The only solution to be reached was the findings of a great sacred language of which all others would be considered as manifestations and that was found in Sanskrit.” -Swami Vivekananda.
