Sanskrit is described as 'the language of the
Gods'. It is beyond doubt that Sanskrit has unparalleled depth and
unique richness among all prevalent languages. All ancient Indian
philosophical and yogic scriptures were written in Sanskrit. Hence,
the knowledge of the Sanskrit language is inevitable to unleash
countless secrets buried in a myriad of such scriptures.
Although Sanskrit is no longer used as a
day-to-day language in India, it has endured the test of time as an
elementary language throughout the world where Hindu culture exists
and Indian philosophy is studied. Since this site deals with basics of
