Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the issue of disrespect towards the Sanskrit language. He begins by stating that Sanskrit is a highly logical and scientific language. He cites scientists from MIT, a renowned American university, who have identified Sanskrit as a suitable language for quantum computing outputs because it has the least qubit bias. He further explains that Sanskrit is respected far more outside India than within. For instance, in Germany, 14 universities teach Sanskrit, and the demand is so high that many applicants are turned away annually. Institutions like Heidelberg University have even opened branches in other countries, including India, to cater to the demand for Sanskrit education. Similarly, North America has the highest number of universities teaching Sanskrit, especially to those interested in Indology. Despite these facts being widely known, the common Indian often disrespects Sanskrit. Acharya Prashant explains that the utility of Sanskrit today is not in increasing one's income or for daily conversation. Its true importance lies in being the key to understanding India's philosophy, history, science, culture, and all other Indian languages. A conscious person inclined towards spirituality will naturally develop respect for Sanskrit upon realizing that foundational texts like the Upanishads and the Gita are originally in this language. This realization makes Sanskrit venerable to them. Conversely, those who mock Sanskrit are individuals who lack a desire for awakening and consciousness. They have no interest in spirituality or the wisdom of the scriptures, and thus, see no utility in the language. Acharya Prashant likens such individuals to animals living an unconscious life, as the desire to elevate one's consciousness is what distinguishes humans from animals. When such people gain a platform, they spread their ignorance and foolishness, particularly influencing the youth. Mocking Sanskrit is, therefore, equivalent to mocking consciousness itself, as the language was fundamentally designed for spiritual elevation and holds the world's most abundant collection of spiritual literature. Those who disrespect Sanskrit are often people who have no interest in their own betterment or in understanding their history and culture. The speaker asserts that disrespect for Sanskrit stems from a deeper disrespect for all Indian languages, Indian culture, and Indian consciousness. He concludes that those who turn Sanskrit into a crude joke are like dangerous animals who must be controlled, as they are attacking a profound heritage without any understanding. Their actions are irresponsible, especially when they influence impressionable young minds.
