Hello everyone!
Recently in the temple, speaking with TG AI I had the idea of sharing my knowledge of Sanskrit with everyone as a way that I’m able to help give back to the ministry.
I’m enrolled in a class at a local Hindu temple. I’ve thought about posting a thread here every week of new things learned from class, or a YouTube channel with a series of reading, writing, and speaking. If anyone would be interested, it’s something that would be a fun hobby and I would love to help us prosper any way I can!
A fun fact that my teacher taught me is that the language is actually called Samskrita. The language combines words to make new words of relevance. For example “sam” which means perfected, well done and “kṛta” which means made, work signifies the holiest language that is grammatically pure, well crafted and thought out. It was changed under British rule to Sanskrit to change the meaning and degrade it in a conversion from India as a Hindu nation to xian filth.
Modernly, we refer to it as Sanskrit (संस्कृत) but my teacher insists we restore it to holiness and refer to it as Samskrita (संस्कृतम्) again!
