Sanskrit was the medium of not just communication, it was the language of Science, knowledge, education and more in Ancient Bharata. With the emergence of Macaulay's minutes in 1835, Sanskrit was replaced by English.
 +
 +
Bharata was never a single language speaking nation. It was always a multi-lingual civilization. All Indian languages co-existed, complemented and supplemented each other. There was a give and take, not just of words but even thoughts.
 +
 +
Many words in Indian languages have a Sanskrit origin. Their sentence construction, phonetics, arrangement of letters, were all similar. There was onness amongst the languages that facilitated homogeneity in knowledge. Thus, from the time of creation until now, Sanskrit has been the thread binding the civilization of Bharat together.
 +
 +
Sanskrit literature, Adhyatmik knowledge and Indian knowledge systems are the binding agents of Bharat. Sanskrit language and the common thoughts across Indian languages are foundational to the unity and integrity of Bharata. Though the languages are many, the sentiments are unified. And Sanskrit is instrumental in unifying Bharat.

Through the medium of Sanskrit and by studying the sanskrit language we must understand and propogate the bharatiya Jnana Parampara. Since Sanskrit-based learning  system has fallen behind in the formal education system, there is a gap has arisen between Sanskrit and modern learning. That needs to be filled. Sanskrit schools, colleges and universities should engage in the teaching of modern subjects while the modern educational institute should teach Sanskrit.

What encompasses Sanskrit learning?

# Arthashastra

All branches of knowledge have sanskrit texts of ancient times. They should be studies.
 +
 +
In ancient times the groupings (of knowledge texts) were different as compared to the groupings of knowledge texts today.
 +
 +
Puranas - we think it is a collection of stories on gods and goddesses; they were created to acquaint common people with the tattvas darshanas siddhantas and vicharas in the Vedas.
 +
 +
When we study the Puranic shlokas
 +
 +
shlokas relating to 18 modern subjects were found in the study on Agni Purana carried out in Shringeri.
 +
 +
like Mathematics, Geography, environment, psychology, vedanta, shilpa, medicine, etc.
 +
 +
When scholars from these fields study the Puranas carefully, many more such fields can be identified; those shlokas that seem to be an instance of adhyatma or vedanta in the first reading, when read sukshmatya, their hidden meanings may ne revealed.
 +
 +
Until now, veda mantras and shastra granthas have been studied from the perspective of adhyatma, but there is a need to be re-studied them from the scientific lens with the needs of the current times in mind.
 +
 +
Jnana anveshana vyavastha, Jnana anveshana paddhati - thats there in the vedas can be useful even today.
 +
 +
eg. lakshana parishkara - in nyaya shastra.
 +
 +
lakshana of a padartha should be dosha rahita.
 +
 +
3 types of dosha in definition
 +
 +
avyapti
 +
 +
ativyapti
 +
 +
abhava
 +
 +
modern definitions should be rdefined on the basis of lakshana parishkara - it is a defining tool (nyaya shastra). Similarly many such thought can be mined.
 +
 +
Sambhashanatah Shastra paryantam adhyayanam bhavet and through the study of Sanskrit language, the heart and atman of bharata may be revived making it samrddha, sashaktam, guru sthanam prapnuyat - that should be our aim. On the foundation of sanskrit, dharma, adhyatma and language we should bring one and all together and facilitate the bhava aikya to bharata, bhasha punarutthanam, samskritika punarutthanam will follow. Bharata's navotthanam bhavet
    
Sanskrit was once the most influential literary language in India, and texts written in the language could be understood by millions of people throughout the South Asian world. These texts contain profound meditations on every point on the spectrum of human concern: existence, reality, God, love, duty, marriage, war, death, violence, laughter, beauty, perception, nature, anatomy, urbanity, ritual, desire, food, purpose, meaning, and language, among hundreds of others. Moreover, Sanskrit texts are the repository of non-modern modes of thought, and they present distinct conceptions of the world that are often at odds with the understanding we have today. By learning how people used to think, we better understand both ourselves and the world we have inherited.
