Sanskrit is a treasure trove of Universal knowledge,it is not restricted to language pattern of regular intrinsic grammar,conversation,structure,construction etc...Many regular usual mantras,vedic recitations are full of codes and sutras ,even who recite do not understand the meaning but recite in a ritualistic devotion which definitely yields results,kamyartham but we do not claim this as the ultimate goal is higher than materialistic.

Great interview and one of my favourite channels. In English there are only 5 feminine sounds compared to the 18 feminine vowels in Sanskrit. Definitely have noticed a difference when I started praying in Sanskrit a couple of years back. Pranam Anna Uday for your dedication to your page and service to the world. Namaste 🙏 worldwide reach.... I live in the middle of the Canadian wilderness and I study Sanskrit everyday because of your channel. Thank you from the First Nations of the Maliseet and Objibwe peoples. I have been singing many of the shlokas and mantras during our sweatlodges with our communities. Last week I even got to sing a shloka for several prisoners who were allowed out of prison to attend the sweatlodge for the day. It was very healing for all of them. At one point as I was chanting I noticed several of these hard men from prison with ankle monitors on were smiling and tearing up. Thank you for helping us heal here in Canada 🇨🇦

Poojaji, I think his interest in the begining was in Sanskrit, later he turned to the Sanskriti and now he is on the path of self-realisation. Natural evolution. His past life karmas and consequent vasanas. He will make his mark as a great Aachaarya of our times.

Sanskrit is the mother of most of the languages on this planet. It is a language of DNA, cosmic frequencies, highly technical and digital. Sanskrit seed sounds are derived from the primordial sounds of the universe. This is why Vedas are written down in sanskrit. India is the mother of all the civilization on this planet.
