Benefits of Sanskrit

 

Benefits of Sanskrit

Sanskrit language survives due to its speakers across the world. India has 1000 years’ history of its progress. The vivid literature written in Sanskrit language attracts intellectuals. The current article describing benefits of Sanskrit language.  In literature, the Sanskrit was recognised as language of God and now it will a communication medium on Earth.

The phrase VASDAIVA KUTUMBAKAM, which define Indian cultural heritage comes from the Sanskrit language relates the Bio diversity. It means the entire Earth is a family. The Upanishadas teaches universal brotherhood as “Sahana Avatu Sahanu Bhunaktu”.

Why Sanskrit?

                The Nation’s proud language is Sanskrit. India is famous for its timeless wisdom. For the uncountable years, the language has flowed like the Ganga in this world. Sanskrit has perfect grammar, very worthy poetry, prose, dramas and scientific literature, ethics, etc.

What researchers say about Sanskrit.!

The Sanskrit effect, a research study says, improves the capacity of memory power. Speaking Sanskrit also improves the new neurons in the brain etc. [1]

Sanskrit has a very wide vocabulary which is required for creating wonderful literature, great thoughts, and beautiful lessons about values and ethics.

Of historical importance for India, The Sanskrit language sentence making style and grammar is done in a scientific way.  Sanskrit is slowly growing in India and even faster growing in Europe.

Benefits of Sanskrit-

Many grammarians have written and taught about Sanskrit grammar. The clear structure for language and special scripts were made for it.  Sanskrit is the soul of India. If Sanskrit is learned first, then anything else will be realised lessor value.  

                The past discoveries should be followed up and the next-generation should be developing new forms of research on Sanskrit. Then it will succeed. In Sanskrit much scientific literatures has been written and should be rediscovered. New people must think about it and do research on it.

                Some people believe that Zero was discovered by Aryabhata. But in the Valmiki Ramayana one shloka says Rama ruled the kingdom for around 11000 years. In the stanza also shows 10000 years and 100 multiplied by 10, to equal the number of years he ruled the kingdom successfully. That is follows as “दशवर्षसहस्राणि दशवर्षशतानि च ।“. This proves that this numbering system is earlier than Aryabhata. Zero was used in Ramayana period.

Language is a communication media. So it should be perfect.  So if a language should be perfect then communication will be perfect. Misunderstandings will be reduced.

                Studies say Sanskrit learning supports the understanding of other languages. If Sanskrit becomes popular then all documents will be clearly understanding and misunderstanding will be less.  

National Integration will grow. Most of India’s languages are born from Sanskrit, hence Sanskrit will promote national Integration.

                How it is perfect?

                                Sanskrit language based on कतृ क्रिया कर्म. In Sanskrit 10 लकारा’s.

What made it stay back?

Sanskrit has not become very popular for the reason its origin is from India. For the last 4 centuries, some anti-nationals snubbed the language.

                The British people were well organized and established policies for many years. So Indians were unable to follow their native system of education. As a result, the Sanskrit Language was held back.

                The use of Sanskrit is growing in foreign countries. Many students are studying Sanskrit with love.

What I could do?

Each person should try to speak in Sanskrit. Learn Sanskrit and teach and motivate others to speak Sanskrit. Then there will be great success in India. Each Indian can think with Sanskrit and then Nationalism will arise. Then our glory will be shown.

Sanskrit should be learned from primary level. It’s not difficult. In Mahabharatha epic Abhimanyu learned about Chakravyuha in Sanskrit from his mother’s womb. History is written as British ideology. Based on the Indian version history should be re-written.  India’s wisdom is very high. There is an imperative need to study Sanskrit and Sanskrit literature. Example in numbering system is given below

In Krishna Yajurveda chamakam numbers are told. Those numbers a numerical chart of square root explained.   The mantra is as follows-एका च मे तिस्रश्च मे  पञ्च च मे सप्त च मे, नव च मे एकादश च मे त्रयोदश च मे पञ्चदश च मे, सप्तदश च मे नवदश च मे  एकविंशतिश्च मे, त्रयोविंशतिश्च मे पञ्चविंशतिश्च मे, सप्तविंशतिश्च मे नवविंशतिश्च मे त्रिं एकत्रिंशच्च मे एकत्रिंशच्च मे, त्रयस्त्रिंशच्च चतस्रश्च मेऽष्टा च मे द्वादश च मे षोडश च मे, विंशतिश्च मे चतुर्विंशतिश्च मेऽष्टाविंशतिश्च मे , द्वात्रिंशच्च मे षट्त्रिंशच्च मे चत्वारिंच्च मे, चतुश्चत्वारिंच्च मेऽष्टाचत्वारिंच्च मे, etc. The numbers are 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31,33, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28,32,36, 40,44, 48.

3           3+1=4, 4 square root of 4 is 2

5            5+4=9 , square root of 9 is 3

7           7+9=16square root of 16,is 4

9           9+16=25,square root of25 is 5

11         11+25=36, square root of 36 is 6,

13         13+36=49, square root of 49 is7

15         15+49=64, square root of 64 is 8

17         17+64 =81 square root of 81 is 9

19         19+81 =100 square root of 100 is 10.

21         21+100 =121 square root of 121 is 11

23         23+121 =144 square root of 144 is 12

25         25+144 =169 square root of 169 is 13

27         169+27 =196 square root of 196 is 14

29         29+196 =225 square root of 225 is 15

31         31+225=256 square root of 256 is 16

33         33+225=289 square root of 289 is 17

General formula for sum of first n odd numbers. 1+3+5…+(2n+1) = n2

The following will be recursive sum of even numbers. Starting from 4 and 8.

12         12+4=16 square root of 16 is 4

16         16+16+4=36 square root of 36 is 6

20         20+36+8=64 square root of 64 is 8

24         24+64+12=100 square root of 100 is 10

28        28+100+16 =144 square root of  is 12

32       32+144+20=196 square root of is 14

36     36+196+24=256 square root of is 16

40       40+256+28=324 square root of is 18

44       44+324+32=400 square root of is 20

48       48+400+36=484 square root of is 22

The sum of even numbers is product of consecutive numbers.

2,4,6,8,10,……

2 = 1 2

2 + 4 = 6 = 2

2 + 4 +6 =12 = 3

2+4+6+8 = 20 = 4

2+4+6+8+10= 5 x 6 so on.

General formula for sum of first n even numbers. 2+4+6…+2n=n(n+1)

After the numbers I tried few.

52         52+484+40=576 square root of is 24

56         56+576+44=676 square root of is 26

60         60+676+48=784 square root of is 28

64         64+784+52=900 square root of is 30

All move in same kind.

I conclude here by saying that Sanskrit study makes the person as Smart and intelligent humble, good, kind and good qualities.
