Is Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, still relevant? | Dr Sampadananda Mishra | TEDxPanaji

Many have written off Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, whereas others portray it as the panacea for everything. In this talk, Dr Sampadanada Mishra, a Sanskrit Scholar answers the question whether Sanskrit language is still relevant. His research based arguments compels one to re look at Sanskrit in a completely new light. From launching the 24-hour Sanskrit Radio Divyavani, to founding the Samskrita Bala-Sahitya Parishad to propagate children’s literature in Sanskrit, Dr Sampadananda Mishra lives and breathes Sanskrit. As Director of Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Indian Culture, his project Sanskrit and Speech Pathology aims to create a remedial training programme based on Sanskrit sounds to help people with speech-related disorders. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Vasudeva kutumbakam in Sanskrit and yadhum oore in Tamil means I'm the world citizen all are my relatives... Wonderful thought from the saints

[@RANAATE]

With due respect the correct expression is Vasaudhaiva Kutumbakam. Not Vasudeva. Vasudha in Sanskrit means the earth and Vasudha+aiva =vasudhaiva, it is a sandhi, a grammatical form of combining two wards meaning the earth = vasudha and aiva= itself meaning therefore is "the earth itself is my family".

[@RANAATE]

The word EARTH is the literal translation of VASUDHA but can be taken to mean the world, in the present context.

@@ravi-gx2qc2qz4r That's simply not true. Most words in Indic languages come from Sanskrit, so at least 80% of it is understandable; only the grammatical suffixes/prefixes and conjugation would have to be understood. And you're saying it as if everyone in India understands English, for example, but it's only like 5% (at best) that understand it fully. And even fewer can speak it properly (probably like 1%). Most people who claim to "speak/understand English" merely understand a few words here and there; their grammar has _lot_ of room for improvement. The Sanskrit situation would be no different, except the comprehension would be much higher because they wouldn't have to learn an entirely new vocabulary while learning a new grammar.

After watching this video, I wanted to hoot Sanskrit closer, try to learn it,because as it turned out it is not so difficult. The English language we are currently studying has some similarities to Sanskrit. Another interesting thing is that each word has up to 2000 meanings (for example, the word Water). It was also very interesting to hear that Sanskrit words consist of syllables. I believe that we need to continue to study ancient languages,because they are the ancestors of our modern languages.

Sanskrit ancestors were came from Central Asia as nomad after the fall of great dravidian civilzation in Indus valley civilization. All the past thing which stick to Sanskrit is rituals, superstitious and lies. This is why India is still poor nation and very slow in development.

Superb sir, in Telugu also we have the same alphabets, both vowels which are called as acchulu and consonants called as hallulu they sound exactly same but only the written symbols are different.i think many of the Indian languages are very similar to Sanskrit

Not all the languages of India. It's only our telugu is very close to samskrutam.

Marathi is very close to Sanskrit which is based on human anatomy ...,and here marathi is not teach in convent school 😭

[@rajnish747]

it is because all of our sub languages hindi, marathi, bengali,.. are derived from sanskrit.

[@supreethmv]

pranay tayde just to correct you, more than 60% of the vocabulary in Kannada is derived from Sanskrit. You should do some research. But I agree that most of the languages in India are very similar to Sanskrit, and every individual feels their mother tongue to be the most relevant. Sanskrit is the solution to most problems in India. Sanskrit is unity. Hindi is restricting people and grouping people based on their religion.

@@supreethmv I am saying same thing .. languages close to SANSKRIT are not presented much 🤗

[@keccha]

This is superficial knowledge. The so called high class society replaced too many Kannada words with Sanskrit words. There is an actual authentic Kannada word which fell out of usage over the years in assumed upper class society. If you interact with real people of the land you will know that. Also to remember Kannada is one of the few languages to have its own script for thousands of years. Sanskrit and Sanskrit derived languages do not have that. We have to understand points from both sides of the aisle before considering ourselves smart.

@@supreethmv If we take out the Urdu and English words from Hindi, it will be close to Sanskrit. My favorite quiz to English speaking people has been "How many words are there in English to say Sun?" Ah! in Sanskrit, I can say Bhanu, Ravi, Surya, Diwakar, and many more. 😊

Each Sanskrit sound corresponds to a chakra in your body. These Sanskrit sounds were discovered by the rishis of Ancient India. The rishis of Ancient India discovered that every thought originates in sound and that the sound produces a geometric construct that manifests itself into a form of light. Unlike every other language, the sounds of the Sanskrit language are not arbitrary. The Sanskrit language was never created, but was instead discovered. Sanskrit is eternal.
