यत्र नारी पूज्यते तत्र रमन्ति देवतः

Where women are worshipped, gods shall stay there. Though the word "worshipped" may sound a little exaggerative, it can be considered as the poetic replacement for "respected". A society in which a woman is not entitled to have her self respect, shall decay in the course of time. As stealing a woman of her self respect is like disrespecting the very essence of our existence : Motherhood. Our ancestors had attributed high regard and reverence for the role that a woman plays in the well being of society.

"Land of religions cradle of human race birthplace of human speech grandmother of legend great grandmother of tradition. The land that men with intellectual bent desire to see and having seen once even by a glimpse would not give that glimpse for the shows of the rest of the globe combined."

-- Mark Twain (1835-1910)

2010-06-12T12:13:00.001-07:00

"The intellectual debt of Europe to Samskrit literature has been undeniably great. It may perhaps become greater still in the years that are to come. We (Europeans) are still behind the making even our alphabet a perfect one."

-- Prof. Macdonell

2010-06-12T12:03:00.000-07:00

"Wouldst thou the young year's blossoms and the fruits of its decline
And all by which the soul is charmed, enraptured, feasted, fed,
Wouldst thou the earth and heaven itself in one sole name combine?
I name thee, O Sakuntala! and all at once is said."

Goethe commenting on the Shakuntala play by Kalidasa

This poem is a palindromic poem and each line reads the same when read from both the sides.

Translation: "O man who desires war! This is that battlefield which excites even the gods, where the battle is not of words. Here people fight and stake their lives not for themselves but for others. This field is full of herds of maddened elephants. Here those who are eager for battle and even those who are not very eager, have to fight.

"Samskrit is the unsurpassed zenith in the whole development of languages yet known to us."

-- Wilhelm von Humboldt

2010-06-11T13:09:00.003-07:00

"Samskrit is the greatest language of the world."

-- Max Muller

2010-06-11T13:09:00.001-07:00

If Samskrit would be divorced from the everyday life of the masses of this country, a light would be gone from the life of the people and the distinctive features of Hindu culture which have won for it an honoured place in world-thought would soon be affected to be great disadvantage and loss both of India and of the world."

-- Sir Mirza Ismail

2010-06-11T13:07:00.001-07:00

"The Veda was the most precious gift for which the West had ever been indebted to the East."

-- Voltaire

2010-06-11T13:04:00.001-07:00

The language of Samskrit is of a wonderful structure, more perfect than Greek, more copious than Latin and more exquisitely refined than either. Human life would not be sufficient to make oneself acquainted with any considerable part of Hindu literature."

-- Sir William Jones

2010-06-11T13:03:00.002-07:00

"Samskrit has moulded the minds of our people to the extent to which they themselves are not conscious. Samskrit literature is national in one sense, but its purpose has been universal. That was why it commanded the attention of people who were not followers of a particular culture."

-- Dr. S. Radhakrishnan

2010-06-11T13:03:00.000-07:00

"Samskrit language, as has been universally recognized by those competent to form a judgment, is one of the most magnificent, the most perfect, the most prominent and wonderfully sufficient literary instrument developed by the human mind."

-- Sri Aurobindo

2010-06-11T13:02:00.001-07:00

"Without the study of Samskrit one cannot become a true Indian and a true learned man."

-- Mahatma Gandhi

2010-06-11T12:59:00.001-07:00

If I was asked what is the greatest treasure which India possesses and what is her finest heritage, I would answer unhesitatingly - it is the Sanskrit language and literature and all that it contains.

Explanantion : In this world, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge.As such, there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Ignorance is the cause of our bondage, and knowledge is the cause of our liberation. This knowledge is the mature fruit of devotional service, and when one is situated in transcendental knowledge, he need not search for peace elsewhere, for he enjoys peace within himself.

The geneneral myth is that sansrit is very difficult to learn. Learning sanskrit is very easy. If you know any one of the Indian languages it is very easy for you to learn sanskrit. Even if you don't know any indian languages it is possible for you to learn sanskrit. But you should concentrate on the pronounciations.

I will be taking you through the process of learning sanskrit. You will realise how simple it is as we go through.

Shishupaalavadha - The slaying of shishupaala

2008-01-01T10:08:00.000-08:00

This poem is noted for its intricate wordplay, and textual complexity. The 19th canto contains the following stanza which has been called "the most complex and exquisite type of palindrome ever invented" - it yields the same text if read forwards, backwards, down, or up:

सकारनानारकास
कायसाददसायका.
रसाहवावाहसार
नादवाददवादना.
नादवाददवादना
रसाहवावाहसार.
कायसाददसायका
सकारनानारकास.

-kA-ya-sA-da-da-sA-ya-kA

-nA-da-vA-da-da-vA-da-nA.

(nA da vA da da vA da nA

ra sA ha vA vA ha sA ra

kA ya sA da da sA ya kA

sa kA ra nA nA ra kA sa)

(note: hyphen indicates same word). The last four lines are the reversed version of the first four, given for clarity in associating the properties of the verse.

The tale is that of Shishupala, king of the Chedis in central India, probably the same as Bundelkhand. Shishupala challenged Krishna to fight, upon which the latter struck his head off with his discus.

The stanza translates as:

[That army], which relished battle (rasAhavA) contained allies who brought low the bodes and gaits of their various striving enemies (sakAranAnArakAsakAyasAdadasAyakA), and in it the cries of the best of mounts contended with musical instruments (vAhasAranAdavAdadavAdanA).
