Samskrit Benefit 3: Samskrit Works On You ! (Even if you may not understand Samskrit) . Most languages are created with obvious goals of transmitting ideas, thoughts, logic. Samskrit created to transmit "Vibrations" also. Vibrations have phonetic importance. They will work on you. Very vibration embedded in Samskrit language character, would transform your state of mind. Linda Sparrowe, renowned writer, mentor and yoga practioner in her article 'Joy of Sanskrit' published with 'American Sanskrit Institute', mentions ,"The design of a Sanskrit is such that the sounds perfectly express the vibrational essence of that (object or theme) which they describe." Example: Most of people who chant Mantras, do not know the full meaning of a mantra; But still feel happy, relaxed while chanting them. Ever wondered... Why ? Let's try to understands this. While usual conversational languages help us connect with the outside world, their forming characters do not have thought connected to them. Example...In English, character 'A' does not have any meaning (beyond the fact that it's first Roman alphabet) In Samskrit, each character - has a meaning and - represents a unique sound. in Samskrit, sound character 'A' means creation. 'A' is connected to the sound of generation. Eventually, 'dhatus' (basic words)...which are based upong 'sound characters' ....have meaning. Hence words.... which are...based on dhatus....have the specific meaning and function. Samskrit was formed with deep and profound understanding of sound,thought and being. No surprise, vibrations on Samskrit positively work on you, even if you do not understand them.
Samskrit Benefit 2: Most Scientific Language On Earth . 2.1 Samskrit is based upon sound. (Most languages are text-centric or pictographic in nature). If sound changes, meaning changes. 36 consonants, 12 vovels and root-words(called 'dhatu') are core to Samskrit. 2.2 Each root has a meaning. Morphology of Samskrit for word formation is unique and of its own kind. A word is formed from a tiny seed root (called dhatu) in a precise grammatical order. 'Dhatu' is a feature unique to Samskrit. Each word can be broken down to the root, in similar way a computer algorithm would parse a word. Ex. word 'Guru' : This is divisible into 'Gu' and 'Ru'. 'Gu' means darkness and 'Ru' means removal. 'Guru' is therefore he who removes darkness(i.e. ignorance) 2.3 Samskrit is self contained. Sequence of words does not matter in Samskrit sentence. Each Samskrit word is beautifully rule bounded. example: In English, 'Rama goes to Village'. Now if we re-shuffle the words a little, then 'Village goes to Rama'. Second sentence is absurd in English, and equivallent sentence would be similarly so in Latin, Greek etc. Now in Samskrit, 'RamaHa gramam Gachhati' Vs 'Gramam RamaHa Gachhati' Vs 'Gramam Gachhati RamaHa' Change of sequence does not alter/invalidate the meaning of Samskrit sentence. 2.4 Samskrit is not time-bounded. It is systematically timeless. There has never been any kind, class or nature of change in the science of the Sanskrit grammar as it is seen in other languages of the world as they are passed through one stage to another of time or of locations. Meaning and pronunciation of any word ( say 'Aham') spoken thousands of years back in Indonesia, remains exactly same, when it's spoken today in remote villages in India. The Samskrit is bounded by around 4000 rules, which help it to be timeless. Samskrit has finest level of grammar any language can have. 2.5 Rick Briggs, a NASA scientist, published a paper on how Sanskrit is the only natural language that could be used to program artificial intelligence. http://www.vedicsciences.net/articles/sanskrit-nasa.html 2.6 NASA is not the only scientific organization to have accorded the outstandingly scientific nature of Samskrit language. The structure of grammar is likened to computer science terminologies and is said to have the computational power of a theoretical computer. The phonology and morphology of Sanskrit Grammar has been admitted by European Linguistics to be superior to its modern counterparts.
Samskrit Benefit 1: Samskrit Is Brain Development Tonic ! : Cognitive Capacity, Creativity, Competitiveness (Part Of Samskrit Learning Series: Why Learning Samskrit Is Benefitial To You, Hurdles On THe Way and How To Overcome Them...) Benefit 1. Samskrit Is Brain Development Tonic : Cognitive Capacity, Creativity, Competitiveness Various studies in brain sciences and multilingual systems have demonstrated that a multilingual brain develops more densely, enhancing problem sloving, cognitive, diverse thinking skills. An individual with added multilingual capacity outperforms similar person with lesser capacity. But then why Samskrit in this context ? Consider the fact that Samsrkit has indirectly or directly influenced many languages in the world , including more than 85% of languages in Indian subcontinent. Learning Sanskrit, you are considering a greater capacity. Some of the benefits attached to learning Samskrit: - clarity in speech - perfection in pronunciation - articulation in conversation - sharpness in memory - flow in thinking - logic in analysis - rationality in understanding - accuracy in communication - familiarity with a wide variety of concepts - broadness in views - politeness in behaviour - quickness in grasping other languages and scripts
