Dr. Karan Singh Vinayak, Chandigarh : Sanskrit is an ancient language which represents the impressions, mysteries, and knowledge accumulated by the civilizations which existed thousands of years ago. It holds great significance due to its relevance to human history since the advent of civilized society on the earth. Most of the ancient literature including four Vedas and age old scriptures are reported in Sanskrit. Sanskrit holds a critical and valuable importance in modern world too.
Many scientists, historians and theoreticians rely on Sanskrit to extract ideas related to their research domain and explore the hidden mysteries of nature. The available ancient literature is a proof that how the remains of our ancient civilizations evaded the barbarian Islamic incursions including the horrible destruction of world renowned educational hubs of that period such as Nalanda and Takshashila. Many Universities, especially in European countries are teaching and encouraging the Sanskrit language among research minds to explore the secrets of nature which we are still not aware of.
By now, it is evident that the Scientific Logic, concepts and hypothesis available in Vedas and ancient scriptures is of utmost importance for the current scientific community. Many discoveries, inventions and explorations of today are derived on the inklings obtained from them. The Sanskrit is the only way to decode and access that useful information that is collected, recorded and passed on in the Vedas by the age old human civilizations. We as a descendents of this prominent 10 thousand years old civilization need to acknowledge the worth of this ancient language.
Either it is the fast world of today which is driven by social media and internet, or the age of early man, the laws which govern the nature always remain same. This could only be understood if we accord the much needed respect and value to this ancient language “Sanskrit” which is a pathway to understand the ever existing facts “Sanatan Truth” of nature mentioned in the Vedas, age old scriptures, and ancient notings.
