Dear Anuradha,
Thanks for translation. It would be great to see such translation using Sanskrit and Hindi. In the end, we need to let people learn our own national language. Why do we need to go through english to get there…that is a shame…I see this too often
Your thoughts…
Regards,
Vivek

Sanskrit is not a language it is voice of natural sound. Cow in USA and in India would have no difference because it is Sanskrit. Indian child and German child cry same way. Because ‘Sanskrit’ is never writable in words or style, it has no chance of variation or error in reproducing same sound. For example, one written word is pronounced differently, and that new pronunciation makes it a new word in writing, and this way one natural language becomes many languages by compounding of writing-pronunciation errors.
So many languages are echo of voice of only one natural sound, and we now need a separate definition to explain it what is actually natural and would have not needed learning from other sources.

Sanskrit is not a language it is voice of natural sound. Cow in USA and in India would have no difference because it is Sanskrit. Indian child and German child cry same way and it is independent of time and space.
In Bikaner, one lady from tribal village, sang a song in a typical voice which penetrated in our heart. I asked them if they were illiterate, they replied in ‘yes’. That tribe never learnt writing nor they can read anything, nor even Rupee note. As a return, they have finest memory, and precise voice of sound transpoted by listening tradition from ages and are survivors of desert in display of highest liberation over laws of nature. They seek no Nobel prize, nor a post in Parliament, but care for laws of nature, and family and knowledge in voice of sound. Sanskrit grew itself like that.
Veda or other voices were remembered by sages with great precision, and this required knowledge of discipline (called Chhand) of sound with search of Truth as aim, and it therefore, had no load on memory. Laws of nature would remind the verses and it is how our scripture got into such a depth of mind.
On principle, ‘Sanskrit’ is never writable in words or style, it has no chance of variation or error in reproducing same sound.
