Learn Sanskrit

[Bhadra]

An interesting topic;

Did those people misunderstood Sanskrit or deliberately mistranslated it.

 

[Lupus]

First of all, my heartfelt gratitude to people who came up with this thread. It's a great initiative. I'm also trying to learn the language.

There's something interesting I would like to share with everyone here. The name SANSKRIT is actually a corruption. Only म् has the Adhikar to be used as an anuswar in grammar but some unknown European linguist owing to his lack of understanding mistranslated M as N, and also ignored the suffix TA.

The actual name of the language is SAMSKRITA.

University Grants Commission (UGC) too recently realised this mistake and is currently working on making all the higher educational institutions in the country drop this corrupted usage.

I'm more than willing to provide sources for this if someone is interested, just let me know.

I WOULD REQUEST EVRYEONE TO NOT STICK TO A COLONIAL MISTAKE AND PLEASE CHANGE THE NAME OF THIS THREAD TO SAMSKRITA IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.

Thanks!

 

[Why so serious?]

Our schools need to be ashamed...

From: Samskrita Bharati's book (www.samskritabharati.in)
बालः पठति (boy is reading)
शिष्यः नमति (student is saluting)
अग्रज: वदति (elder brother is speaking)
जनकः पश्यति (father is watching)
पितृव्य: पृच्छति (fathers younger brother(chacha?) is asking)

मृत्तिकवर्णसाहेब मनस्तत्वं आस्माकं देशे बहु गभीरः वर्तते !
अहं सर्वदा “संस्कृतम्” इत्येव वदामि

Brown sahib mentality runs deep in our country . I always use “samskrutam”
Never that corrupted English word “Sanskrit”

Mritika has many varnas including white .............
Indian colour at best can be described as KrushNa or shyAma.

True, then what is the word to be used for brown ?

Too difficult for me.

 

[Ugra Bhairav]

This is why as per Shastras, the education starts right in womb.

And that's why family is most important Unit to hold knowledge and further advancement of it.

Cultures devoid of Family Structure will gradually decline.

Sad demise of Waste in destined.

For the same reason the Brahman kids always had head start in knowledge fields, however this is the same reason it is flattening up now, and are others catching in.
