We all know that speech is an expression of the culture of its speakers. Any speech is a certain sound vibration. And our material universe also consists of sound vibrations. According to the Vedas, the source of these vibrations is Brahma, who, through the pronunciation of certain sounds, creates our universe with all its types of living beings. It is believed that the sounds emanating from Brahman are the sounds of Sanskrit. Thus, the sound vibrations of Sanskrit have a transcendental spiritual basis. Therefore, if we come into contact with spiritual vibrations, then a program of spiritual development is turned on in us, our heart is cleansed. And these are scientific facts. Language is a very important factor influencing culture, the formation of culture, the formation and development of the people.

In order to elevate a people or, on the contrary, to lower them, it is enough to introduce the corresponding sounds or the corresponding words, names, terms into the language system of this people.

Researches of scientists about Sanskrit and Russian language.

The first Italian traveler Philip Sosetti, who visited India 400 years ago, addressed the topic of the similarity of Sanskrit with world languages. After his travels, Sosetti left a work on the similarity of many Indian words with Latin. The next was the Englishman William Jones. William Jones knew Sanskrit and studied a significant part of the Vedas. Jones concluded that Indian and European languages ​​are related. Friedrich Bosch - a German scientist - philologist in the middle of the 19th century wrote a work - a comparative grammar of Sanskrit, Zen, Greek, Latin, Old Church Slavonic, German.

Ukrainian historian, ethnographer and researcher of Slavic mythology Georgiy Bulashov, in the preface of one of his works, where the analysis of Sanskrit and Russian languages ​​​​is written - “all the main foundations of the language of tribal and tribal life, mythological and poetic works, are the property of the entire group of Indo-European and Aryan peoples . And they come from that distant time, the living memory of which has been preserved to our time in the most ancient hymns and rites, the sacred books of the ancient Indian people, known as the "Vedas". Thus, by the end of the last century, research by linguists showed that is Sanskrit, the oldest of all modern dialects.

Russian scientist folklorist A. Gelferding (1853, St. Petersburg), in a book about the relationship of the Slavic language with Sanskrit, writes: “The Slavic language in all its dialects has retained the roots and words that exist in Sanskrit. In this respect, the closeness of the compared languages ​​is unusual. The Sanskrit and Russian languages ​​do not differ from each other in any permanent, organic changes in sounds. Slavic does not have a single feature alien to Sanskrit."

A professor from India, a linguist, a great connoisseur of Sanskrit dialects, dialects, dialects, etc. Durgo Shastri came to Moscow at the age of 60. He did not know Russian. But a week later he refused an interpreter, arguing that he himself understands Russians quite well, since Russians speak corrupted Sanskrit. When he heard Russian speech, he said that - "you speak one of the ancient dialects of Sanskrit, which used to be common in one of the regions of India, but is now considered extinct."

At a conference in 1964, Durgo presented a paper in which he gave many reasons that Sanskrit and Russian are related languages, and that Russian is a derivative of Sanskrit. Russian ethnographer Svetlan Zharnikova, candidate of historical sciences. The author of the book - On the historical roots of the North Russian folk culture, 1996.

Quotes - the vast majority of the names of our rivers can be translated from Sanskrit without distorting the language. Sukhona - from Sanskrit means easily overcome. Kubena is sinuous. Ships - a stream. Darida - giving water. Padma is a lotus. Kama - love, attraction. There are many rivers and lakes in the Vologda and Arkhangelsk regions - Ganges, Shiva, Indigo, etc. The book has 30 pages of these names in Sanskrit. And the word Rus comes from the word Russia - which in Sanskrit means holy or bright.

Modern scientists attribute most European languages ​​to the Indo-European group, defining Sanskrit as the closest to the universal proto-language. But Sanskrit is a language that no people in India has ever spoken. This language has always been the language of scholars and priests, much like Latin for Europeans. This is a language artificially introduced into the life of the Hindus. But how then did this artificial language appear in India?

The Hindus have a legend that says that once upon a time they came from the North, because of the Himalayas, to them seven white teachers. They gave the Indians a language (Sanskrit), gave them the Vedas (those very famous Indian Vedas) and thus laid the foundations of Brahminism, which is still the most popular religion in India, and from which Buddhism in turn emerged. Moreover, this is a fairly well-known legend - it is studied even in Indian theosophical universities. Many Brahmins consider the Russian North (the northern part of European Russia) to be the ancestral home of all mankind. And they go to our north on a pilgrimage, just like Muslims go to Mecca.

Sixty percent of Sanskrit words coincide both in meaning and in pronunciation with Russian words completely. Natalya Guseva, an ethnographer, doctor of historical sciences, a well-known expert on the culture of India, the author of more than 160 scientific works on the culture and ancient forms of the Hindu religion, spoke about this for the first time. Once upon a time, one of the respected scientists of India, whom Guseva accompanied on a tourist trip along the rivers of the Russian North, refused an interpreter in communication with local residents and, tearing up, remarked to Natalya Romanovna that he was happy to hear live Sanskrit! From that moment, her study of the phenomenon of the similarity of the Russian language and Sanskrit began.

And, indeed, it is surprising: somewhere there, far to the south, beyond the Himalayas, peoples of the Negroid race live, the most educated representatives of which speak a language close to our Russian language. Moreover, Sanskrit is close to the Russian language in the same way that, for example, the Ukrainian language is close to Russian. There can be no question of any other such close coincidence of words between Sanskrit and any other language except Russian. Sanskrit and the Russian language are relatives, and if we assume that the Russian language, as a representative of the family of Indo-European languages, originated from Sanskrit, then the assumption that Sanskrit originated from the Russian language is also correct. So, at least, says the ancient Indian legend.

There is another factor in favor of this statement: as the well-known philologist Alexander Dragunkin says, a language derived from some other language always turns out to be simpler: fewer verbal forms, shorter words, etc. A person here follows the path of least resistance. Indeed, Sanskrit is much simpler than the Russian language. So we can say that Sanskrit is a simplified Russian language, frozen in time for 4-5 thousand years. And the hieroglyphic writing of Sanskrit, according to academician Nikolai Levashov, is nothing more than the Slavic-Aryan runes, slightly modified by the Hindus.

The Russian language is the most ancient language on Earth and the closest to the language that served as the basis for most of the world's languages.

=======================================

The UN confirms that Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. The influence of this language has directly or indirectly spread to almost all the languages ​​of the planet (according to experts, it is about 97%). If you speak Sanskrit, you can easily learn any language in the world. The best and most efficient computer algorithms were created not in English, but in Sanskrit. Scientists in the United States, Germany and France are creating software for devices that work in Sanskrit. At the end of 2021, several developments will be presented to the world, and some commands such as "send", "receive", "forward" will be written in current Sanskrit.

The ancient language of Sanskrit, which transformed the world centuries ago, will soon become the language of the future, controlling bots and guiding devices. Sanskrit has several main advantages that scholars and linguists admire, some of them consider it a divine language - it is so pure and harmonious. Sanskrit also reveals some of the secret meanings of the hymns of the Vedas and Puranas, ancient Indian texts in this unique language.

Amazing facts of the past

The Vedas, written in Sanskrit, are the oldest in the world. They are believed to have been preserved unchanged in oral tradition for at least 2 million years. Modern scholars date the creation of the Vedas to 1500 BC. e., that is, "officially" their age is more than 3500 years. They have a maximum time interval between oral dissemination and written fixation, which falls on the 5th century AD. e.

Sanskrit texts cover a wide variety of topics, from spiritual treatises to literary works (poetry, drama, satire, history, epic, novels), scientific works in mathematics, linguistics, logic, botany, chemistry, medicine, as well as works of explanation. obscure subjects for us - "raising elephants" or even "growing curved bamboo for palanquins." The ancient library of Nalanda included the largest number of manuscripts on all topics until it was looted and burned.

Sanskrit poetry is remarkably diverse, with over 100 written and over 600 oral works.

There are works of great complexity, including works that describe several events at the same time using wordplay or use words that are several lines long.

Sanskrit is the mother of most North Indian languages. Even the tendentious pseudo-Aryan intrusion theorists who ridiculed the Hindu texts, after studying it, recognized the influence of Sanskrit and accepted it as the source of all languages. The Indo-Aryan languages ​​developed from the Middle Indo-Aryan languages, which in turn evolved from the Proto-Aryan Sanskrit. Moreover, even the Dravidian languages ​​(Telugu, Malalam, Kannada, and to some extent Tamil), which do not originate from Sanskrit, borrowed so many words from it that Sanskrit can be called their adopted mother.

The process of forming new words in Sanskrit continued for a long time, until the great linguist Panini, who wrote the grammar, established the rules for the formation of each word, compiling a complete list of roots and nouns. After Panini some changes were made, they were streamlined by Vararuchi and Patanjali. Any violation of the rules laid down by them was recognized as a grammatical error, and therefore Sanskrit remained unchanged from the time of Patanjali (about 250 BC) to our times.

For a long time, Sanskrit was used mainly in the oral tradition. Before the advent of printing in India, Sanskrit did not have a single written alphabet. It was written in local alphabets, which includes more than two dozen scripts. This is also an unusual occurrence. The reasons for establishing Devanagari as the standard of writing are the influence of the Hindi language and the fact that many of the early Sanskrit texts were printed in Bombay, where Devanagari is the script for the local Marathi language.

Of all the languages ​​in the world, Sanskrit has the largest vocabulary, while it makes it possible to pronounce a sentence with a minimum number of words.

Sanskrit, like all literature written in it, is divided into two large sections: Vedic and classical. The Vedic period, which began in 4000-3000 BC. e., ended around 1100 AD. e.; the classical began in 600 BC. and continues to the present. Vedic Sanskrit merged with classical Sanskrit over time. However, a fairly large difference remains between them, although the phonetics are the same. Many old words were lost, many new ones appeared. Some meanings of words have changed, new phrases have arisen.

The sphere of influence of Sanskrit spread in all directions of Southeast Asia (now Laos, Cambodia and other countries) without the use of military action or violent measures from India.

The attention paid to Sanskrit in India (the study of grammar, phonetics, etc.) until the 20th century came, surprisingly, from outside. The success of modern comparative linguistics, the history of linguistics and, ultimately, linguistics in general, originates in the enthusiasm for Sanskrit by Western scholars such as A. N. Chomsky and P. Kiparsky.

Sanskrit is the scientific language of Hinduism, Buddhist teachings (together with Pali) and Jainism (second after Prakrit). It is difficult to classify it as a dead language: Sanskrit literature continues to thrive thanks to the novels, short stories, essays and epic poems that are written in this language. In the last 100 years, authors have even been awarded some literary awards, including the respected Jyanpith in 2006. Sanskrit is the official language of the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Today, there are several Indian villages (in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Uttara Pradesh) where this language is still spoken. For example, in the village of Mathur in Karnataka, more than 90% of the population knows Sanskrit.

There are even newspapers in Sanskrit! Sudharma, printed in Mysore, has been published since 1970 and now has an electronic version.

At the moment, there are about 30 million ancient Sanskrit texts in the world, 7 million of which are in India. This means that there are more texts in this language than Roman and Greek combined. Unfortunately, most of them have not been cataloged, and therefore a lot of work is required to digitize, translate and systematize the available manuscripts.

Sanskrit in modern times

In Sanskrit, the number system is called katapayadi. She assigns a certain number to each letter of the alphabet; the same principle is incorporated in the construction of the ASCII table. Drunvalo Melkizedek's book The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life provides an interesting fact. In the sloka (verse), the translation of which is as follows: “O Lord Krishna, smeared with yogurt of the worship of milkmaids, O savior of the fallen, O lord of Shiva, protect me!” After applying katapayadi, the number 0.3141592653589793238462643383279 was obtained. If you multiply it by 10, you get the number pi to the thirty-first digit! It is clear that the probability of a simple coincidence of such a series of numbers is too unlikely.

Sanskrit enriches science by passing on the knowledge contained in such books as the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Mahabharata, Ramayana and others. To this end, it is studied at the Russian State University and especially at NASA, which contains 60,000 palm leaves with manuscripts. NASA has declared Sanskrit "the only unambiguous spoken language on the planet" that is suitable for computers. The same thought was expressed back in July 1987 by Forbes magazine: "Sanskrit is the language most suitable for computers."

NASA presented a report that America is building the 6th and 7th generations of computers based on Sanskrit. The project end date for the 6th generation is 2025 and the 7th generation is 2034. After that, it is expected that there will be a boom in Sanskrit learning around the world.

In seventeen countries of the world there are universities for the study of Sanskrit for technological knowledge. In particular, a protection system based on the Indian Shri Chakra is being studied in the UK.

There is an interesting fact: the study of Sanskrit improves mental activity and memory. Students who master this language begin to better understand mathematics and other exact sciences and receive higher marks in them. School of James Jr. In London, she introduced the study of Sanskrit as a compulsory subject for her students, after which her students began to study better. This example was followed by some schools in Ireland.

Studies have shown that the phonetics of Sanskrit has a connection with the energy points of the body, so reading or pronouncing Sanskrit words stimulates them, increasing the energy of the whole body, thereby increasing the level of resistance to diseases, relaxing the mind and getting rid of stress. Also, Sanskrit is the only language that uses all the nerve endings in the language; when pronouncing words, the general blood supply improves and, as a result, the functioning of the brain. This results in better overall health, according to the American Hindu University.

Sanskrit is the only language in the world that has existed for millions of years. Many languages ​​descended from it have died; many others will come to replace them, but he himself will remain unchanged.

Sanskrit is one of the most ancient and mysterious languages. Its study helped linguists get closer to the secrets of ancient linguistics, and Dmitri Mendeleev created a table of chemical elements.

1. The word "Sanskrit" means "processed, perfected."

2. Sanskrit is a living language. It is one of the 22 official languages ​​of India. For about 50,000 people it is their native language, for 195,000 it is a second language.

3. For many centuries, Sanskrit was simply called वाच (vāc) or शब्द (śabda), which translates as "word, language". The applied meaning of Sanskrit as a cult language was reflected in another of its names - गीर्वांअभाषा (gīrvāṇabhāṣā) - "the language of the gods".

4. The earliest known monuments in Sanskrit were created in the middle of the 2nd millennium BC.

5. Linguists believe that classical Sanskrit originated from Vedic Sanskrit (the Vedas are written in it, the earliest of which is the Rig Veda). Although these languages ​​are similar, today they are considered dialects. The ancient Indian linguist Panini in the fifth century BC considered them to be different languages.

6. All mantras in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism are written in Sanskrit.

7. It is important to understand that Sanskrit is not a national language. It is the language of the cultural environment.

8. Initially, Sanskrit was used as the common language of the priestly class, while the ruling classes preferred to speak Prakrit. Sanskrit finally became the language of the ruling classes already in late antiquity in the era of the Guptas (4th-6th centuries AD).

9. The extinction of Sanskrit occurred for the same reason as the extinction of Latin. It remained the codified literary language while the spoken language changed.

10. The most common writing system for Sanskrit is the Devanagari script. "Deva" is a god, "nagar" is a city, "and" is a relative adjective suffix. Devanagari is also used to write Hindi and other languages.

11. Classical Sanskrit has about 36 phonemes. If allophones are taken into account (and the writing system takes them into account), then the total number of sounds in Sanskrit increases to 48.

12. For a long time, Sanskrit developed separately from European languages. The first contact of linguistic cultures occurred during the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great in 327 BC. Then the lexical set of Sanskrit was replenished with words from European languages.

13. A full-fledged linguistic discovery of India occurred only in the second half of the 18th century. It was the discovery of Sanskrit that marked the beginning of comparative historical linguistics and historical linguistics. The study of Sanskrit revealed similarities between it, Latin and ancient Greek, which prompted linguists to think about their ancient relationship.

14. Until the middle of the 19th century, it was widely believed that Sanskrit was the proto-language, but this hypothesis was recognized as erroneous. The real proto-language of the Indo-Europeans was not preserved in the monuments and was several thousand years older than Sanskrit. However, it was Sanskrit that least of all moved away from the Indo-European proto-language.

15. Recently, there have been many pseudo-scientific and "patriotic" hypotheses that Sanskrit originated from the Old Russian language, from the Ukrainian language, and so on. Even superficial scientific analysis shows them to be false.

16. The similarity of the Russian language and Sanskrit is explained by the fact that Russian is a language with slow development (unlike, for example, English). However, Lithuanian, for example, is even slower. Of all European languages, it is he who is most similar to Sanskrit.

17. Hindus call their country Bharata. This word came to Hindi from Sanskrit, in which one of the ancient epics of India "Mahabharata" ("Maha" is translated as "great") was written. The word India comes from the Iranian pronunciation of the name of the region of India Sindhu.

18. A friend of Dmitri Mendeleev was the Sanskrit scholar Bötlingk. This friendship influenced the Russian scientist and during the discovery of his famous periodic table, Mendeleev also predicted the discovery of new elements, which he called in the Sanskrit style "ekabor", "ekaaluminum" and "ekasilicium" (from the Sanskrit "eka" - one) and left there are "empty" places for them in the table.

The American linguist Kriparsky also noted the great similarity between the periodic table and Panini's Shiva Sutras. In his opinion, Mendeleev made his discovery as a result of the search for the "grammar" of chemical elements.

19. Despite the fact that Sanskrit is said to be a complex language, its phonetic system is understandable for a Russian person, but it has, for example, the sound “r syllabic”. So we don't say "Krishna" but "Krishna", not "Sanskrit" but "Sanskrit". Also, the presence of short and long vowels in Sanskrit can cause difficulties in learning Sanskrit.

20. There is no contrast between soft and hard sounds in Sanskrit.

21. The Vedas are written with stress marks, it was musical and depended on tone, but in classical Sanskrit, stress was not indicated. In prose texts, it is transmitted on the basis of the stress rules of the Latin language 22. Sanskrit has eight cases, three numbers and three genders. 23. There is no developed system of punctuation marks in Sanskrit, but punctuation marks are found and are divided into weak and strong ones.

24. Classical Sanskrit texts often contain very long compound words, including dozens of simple ones and replacing entire sentences and paragraphs. Their translation is similar to solving puzzles.

25. From most verbs in Sanskrit, a causative is freely formed, that is, a verb with the meaning "to force to do what the main verb expresses." As in pairs: drink - water, eat - feed, drown - drown. In the Russian language, the remnants of the causative system have also been preserved from the Old Russian language.

26. Where in Latin or Greek some words contain the root "e", others the root "a", still others - the root "o", in Sanskrit in all three cases it will be "a".

27. The big problem with Sanskrit is that one word in it can have up to several dozen meanings. And no one will call a cow in classical Sanskrit a cow, it will be “variegated”, or “hair-eyed”. The 11th-century Arab scholar Al Biruni wrote that Sanskrit is "a language rich in words and endings, which designates the same object with different names and different objects with one name."

28. In ancient Indian drama, the characters speak two languages. All respected characters speak Sanskrit, while the women and servants speak Middle Indian languages.

29. Sociolinguistic studies of oral use of Sanskrit indicate that its oral use is very limited and that Sanskrit is no longer developed. Thus, Sanskrit becomes a so-called "dead" language.

30. Vera Aleksandrovna Kochergina made a huge contribution to the study of Sanskrit in Russia. She compiled the Sanskrit-Russian Dictionary and wrote the Sanskrit Textbook. If you want to learn Sanskrit, then you cannot do without the works of Kochergina.

In literal translation, the word "Sanskrit" means "culture", as well as "sanctification", "nobility". This is a literary variant of one of the ancient Indian languages, belonging to the Indo-European language family. "Sanskrit" is how the word "Sanskrit" sounds in Sanskrit itself. In Russian, the word "Sanskrit" came from Hindi, in which it sounds the same as in Russian.

Sanskrit is the language of the Vedic sciences, which have made and continue to make a huge contribution to the treasury of world civilization. It contains works of artistic, religious, philosophical, legal and scientific literature that have had an invaluable influence on the culture of Southeast and Central Asia, as well as Europe. Sanskrit is still used in India as the language of the humanities and worship, and in a narrow circle - as a spoken language. Newspapers and magazines are published in Sanskrit, radio programs are conducted (the Deutsche Welle radio station conducts one of its programs in it).

According to many scientists, one of the centers of the emergence of modern civilization was the region of Central Asia. This opinion echoes the biblical-Quranic statement that it was here that Adam was thrown after being expelled from paradise.

As the population grew, people left their original habitats and settled throughout the earth. This leads to the conclusion that a variety of languages ​​arose from one parent-language-base.

This primitive people is known as the Aryans. According to Indian linguists, from the tribes of the Aryans who went to the west, peoples were formed who spoke Germanic, Romance and other Aryan languages. From the tribes that went north, the languages ​​of the Slavs, Turks and Lithuanians arose. The tribes that went east formed two groups. One of them remained on the territory of modern Iran, where the modern Farsi language was formed through the Median language.

Another group through the Hindu Kush and the Kabul valley came to India. It was in this group that Sanskrit subsequently developed, from which the modern Indo-Aryan languages ​​arose through the vernacular languages ​​(Prakrits).

The Aryans who migrated to India spoke the so-called Vedic Sanskrit, which is also called Devanagari - "[language] from the abode of the gods." Most of the Vedas are written in this language. The much later polished language of the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the works of Kalidasa is known as epic Sanskrit. The language of the rest of the Sanskrit literature is called Classical Sanskrit.

From the rock inscriptions of King Ashoka (273-232 BC) and from the books of the outstanding linguist Patanjali, it is clear that 300 years before our era, a language was used in North India that included several dialects that differed significantly from each other. It arose as a result of the mispronunciation of the Aryan language by women, children and Shudras. This folk language is called prakrit from the word prakriti (nature), that is, "natural, rustic, rough." In a narrower sense, it is also called secondary prakrit, in contrast to the primary prakrit, which already existed in the time of the Vedas, from which the secondary prakrit, vulgar Sanskrit, was formed.

In an effort to save the "language of the gods" from corrupted Prakrit, the scholars-pandits of the Vedic period purified it and limited it to grammatical norms. This purified and ennobled language was called Sanskrit.

As for the secondary Prakrit, it was widely developed thanks to Buddhism. It is currently known as the Pali language.

The Pali form of Prakrit gradually split into 3 branches: Shauraseni, Magadhi and Maharashtri.

In Bihar, where Magadhi was widespread, there was another language that was formed as a result of mixing Magadhi and Shauraseni - Ardhamagadhi. Ancient Jain books are written in Ardhamagadhi.

After some time, the development of written secondary Prakrit actually stopped, and the spoken language continued to develop and change.

The adherents of written Prakrit called this language apabhransha - "spoiled". Folklore in apabhransha developed until the 11th century. The Aryan languages ​​of India originated precisely from apabhransha. Hindi, for example, was formed by the fusion of two dialects: Nagara-apabhranshi and Ardhamagadhi-apabhranshi. After the Muslim conquest of India, under the influence of Arabic and Farsi, a Muslim version of Hindi emerged from Hindi - Urdu, which is now the state language of Pakistan.

O OH confirms that Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. The influence of this language has directly or indirectly spread to almost all the languages ​​of the planet (according to experts, it is about 97%). If you speak Sanskrit, you can easily learn any language in the world. The best and most efficient computer algorithms were created not in English, but in Sanskrit. Scientists in the United States, Germany and France are creating software for devices that work in Sanskrit. At the end of 2021, several developments will be presented to the world, and some commands such as "send", "receive", "forward" will be written in current Sanskrit.

The ancient language of Sanskrit, which transformed the world centuries ago, will soon become the language of the future, controlling bots and guiding devices. Sanskrit has several main advantages that scholars and linguists admire, some of them consider it a divine language - it is so pure and harmonious. Sanskrit also reveals some of the secret meanings of the hymns of the Vedas and Puranas, ancient Indian texts in this unique language.

Amazing facts of the past

The Vedas, written in Sanskrit, are the oldest in the world. They are believed to have been preserved unchanged in oral tradition for at least 2 million years. Modern scholars date the creation of the Vedas to 1500 BC. e., that is, "officially" their age is more than 3500 years. They have a maximum time interval between oral dissemination and written fixation, which falls on the 5th century AD. e.

Sanskrit texts cover a wide variety of topics, from spiritual treatises to literary works (poetry, drama, satire, history, epic, novels), scientific works in mathematics, linguistics, logic, botany, chemistry, medicine, as well as works of explanation. obscure subjects for us - "raising elephants" or even "growing curved bamboo for palanquins." The ancient library of Nalanda included the largest number of manuscripts on all topics until it was looted and burned.

Sanskrit poetry is remarkably diverse, with over 100 written and over 600 oral works.

There are works of great complexity, including works that describe several events at the same time using wordplay or use words that are several lines long.

Sanskrit is the mother of most North Indian languages. Even the tendentious pseudo-Aryan intrusion theorists who ridiculed the Hindu texts, after studying it, recognized the influence of Sanskrit and accepted it as the source of all languages. The Indo-Aryan languages ​​developed from the Middle Indo-Aryan languages, which in turn evolved from the Proto-Aryan Sanskrit. Moreover, even the Dravidian languages ​​(Telugu, Malalam, Kannada, and to some extent Tamil), which do not originate from Sanskrit, borrowed so many words from it that Sanskrit can be called their adopted mother.

The process of forming new words in Sanskrit continued for a long time, until the great linguist Panini, who wrote the grammar, established the rules for the formation of each word, compiling a complete list of roots and nouns. After Panini some changes were made, they were streamlined by Vararuchi and Patanjali. Any violation of the rules laid down by them was recognized as a grammatical error, and therefore Sanskrit remained unchanged from the time of Patanjali (about 250 BC) to our times.

For a long time, Sanskrit was used mainly in the oral tradition. Before the advent of printing in India, Sanskrit did not have a single written alphabet. It was written in local alphabets, which includes more than two dozen scripts. This is also an unusual occurrence. The reasons for establishing Devanagari as the standard of writing are the influence of the Hindi language and the fact that many of the early Sanskrit texts were printed in Bombay, where Devanagari is the script for the local Marathi language.

Of all the languages ​​in the world, Sanskrit has the largest vocabulary, while it makes it possible to pronounce a sentence with a minimum number of words.

Sanskrit, like all literature written in it, is divided into two large sections: Vedic and classical. The Vedic period, which began in 4000-3000 BC. e., ended around 1100 AD. e.; the classical began in 600 BC. and continues to the present. Vedic Sanskrit merged with classical Sanskrit over time. However, a fairly large difference remains between them, although the phonetics are the same. Many old words were lost, many new ones appeared. Some meanings of words have changed, new phrases have arisen.

The sphere of influence of Sanskrit spread in all directions of Southeast Asia (now Laos, Cambodia and other countries) without the use of military action or violent measures from India.

The attention paid to Sanskrit in India (the study of grammar, phonetics, etc.) until the 20th century came, surprisingly, from outside. The success of modern comparative linguistics, the history of linguistics and, ultimately, linguistics in general, originates in the enthusiasm for Sanskrit by Western scholars such as A. N. Chomsky and P. Kiparsky.

Sanskrit is the scientific language of Hinduism, Buddhist teachings (together with Pali) and Jainism (second after Prakrit). It is difficult to classify it as a dead language: Sanskrit literature continues to thrive thanks to the novels, short stories, essays and epic poems that are written in this language. In the last 100 years, authors have even been awarded some literary awards, including the respected Jyanpith in 2006. Sanskrit is the official language of the Indian state of Uttarakhand. Today, there are several Indian villages (in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Karnataka and Uttara Pradesh) where this language is still spoken. For example, in the village of Mathur in Karnataka, more than 90% of the population knows Sanskrit.

There are even newspapers in Sanskrit! Sudharma, printed in Mysore, has been published since 1970 and now has an electronic version.

At the moment, there are about 30 million ancient Sanskrit texts in the world, 7 million of which are in India. This means that there are more texts in this language than Roman and Greek combined. Unfortunately, most of them have not been cataloged, and therefore a lot of work is required to digitize, translate and systematize the available manuscripts.

Sanskrit in modern times

In Sanskrit, the number system is called katapayadi. She assigns a certain number to each letter of the alphabet; the same principle is incorporated in the construction of the ASCII table. Drunvalo Melkizedek's book The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life provides an interesting fact. In the sloka (verse), the translation of which is as follows: “O Lord Krishna, smeared with yogurt of the worship of milkmaids, O savior of the fallen, O lord of Shiva, protect me!” After applying katapayadi, the number 0.3141592653589793238462643383279 was obtained. If you multiply it by 10, you get the number pi to the thirty-first digit! It is clear that the probability of a simple coincidence of such a series of numbers is too unlikely.

Sanskrit enriches science by passing on the knowledge contained in such books as the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Mahabharata, Ramayana and others. To this end, it is studied at the Russian State University and especially at NASA, which contains 60,000 palm leaves with manuscripts. NASA has declared Sanskrit "the only unambiguous spoken language on the planet" that is suitable for computers. The same thought was expressed back in July 1987 by Forbes magazine: "Sanskrit is the language most suitable for computers."

NASA presented a report that America is building the 6th and 7th generations of computers based on Sanskrit. The project end date for the 6th generation is 2025 and the 7th generation is 2034. After that, it is expected that there will be a boom in Sanskrit learning around the world.

In seventeen countries of the world there are universities for the study of Sanskrit for technological knowledge. In particular, a protection system based on the Indian Shri Chakra is being studied in the UK.

There is an interesting fact: the study of Sanskrit improves mental activity and memory. Students who master this language begin to better understand mathematics and other exact sciences and receive higher marks in them. School of James Jr. In London, she introduced the study of Sanskrit as a compulsory subject for her students, after which her students began to study better. This example was followed by some schools in Ireland.

Studies have shown that the phonetics of Sanskrit has a connection with the energy points of the body, so reading or pronouncing Sanskrit words stimulates them, increasing the energy of the whole body, thereby increasing the level of resistance to diseases, relaxing the mind and getting rid of stress. Also, Sanskrit is the only language that uses all the nerve endings in the language; when pronouncing words, the general blood supply improves and, as a result, the functioning of the brain. This results in better overall health, according to the American Hindu University.

Sanskrit is the only language in the world that has existed for millions of years. Many languages ​​descended from it have died; many others will come to replace them, but he himself will remain unchanged.
