Why Study Sanskrit? | Warwick Jessup

Sanskrit is an ancient language, close to the source of all Indo-European languages. Many Sanskrit words have come directly into the English language.
Warwick Jessup gives a few reasons why someone might study this fascinating language.
Sir William Jones pointed out to the west the importance of the Sanskrit language. This language has 'a wonderful structure, more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either'. It also has a beautiful script and sound.
Many English words have Sanskrit roots, such as in the example of statue, stand, still constant, station - all from the Sanskrit root sthā. Every Sanskrit word starts with a root, and then has prefixes and suffixes added.
Take the example sthitaprajña meaning the person of excellent, steady wisdom. Investigating a word like this uncovers its deep meaning. This can also give a spiritual practice - one can attempt to be a person of steady wisdom!
The School of Philosophy and Economic Science offers courses in practical philosophy and economics with justice as well as other subjects. It aims to approach philosophy in a practical way, encouraging students to apply philosophy in their lives. The School also introduces a mindfulness-type exercise leading eventually to mantra meditation.

Thanks for watching. Are you studying Sanskrit? What do you enjoy about it?

@jayashreesmani5641 Жыл бұрын

The sounds, the joy of surprise in understanding its structure and philosophy, it's almost like the language itself is a philosophy! My mother tongue is Tamil, I studied Hindi in school as a second language, but my medium of instruction was always English, and today English has come to be my "first" language. But having grown up steeped in my culture, listening to all kinds of stories and slokas being recited, the chanting at numerous Homams which are so fundamental to our way of life, I have always wanted to read something in the original language, to understand it, to simply enjoy the sounds of the words.

HOW MANY YEARS DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN COMPLETE SANSKRIT FOR ONE WHO HAS INTEREST IN IT

@Philosophycourse 9 күн бұрын

Let's answer it this way. If you begin by learning the alphabet and looking up the meaning of some words, it will be immediately rewarding. But to learn complete Sanskrit? A few years actually. It's one of the harder languages to really get to grips with. But that shouldn't deter you from making a start - any study of Sanskrit will be worthwhile. Good luck!

@Philosophycourse Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this comment. Interesting subject here. What Warwick actually said in his video is 'Sanskrit is close to the source of all Indo-European languages.' Still, we asked him to reply to your comment so he writes: 'Perhaps it would be more accurate to say it is close to the source of the Indo-Aryan branch of Indo-European languages, but it was felt this was too detailed for a very general audience. The simple point that was being made is that Sanskrit is related quite closely to European languages, including English, and being so ancient, so well documented, and so amazingly well structured, it can offer deep insights into all Indo-European languages. 'You are right to say that based on linguistics, Proto-Indo-European is the proto language, not Sanskrit. However, Proto-Indo-European, although very well researched, is of course a hypothetical language, while Sanskrit is a real language dating back, in its Vedic form, to at least around 1,500BC. It has an incredibly detailed grammar based on around 2000 roots. Going back to these roots is enlightening when investigating the source of a word, as illustrated in the video.'

How is modern Sanskrit going to be better than Vedic Sanskrit in providing knowledge? Does the government spend an equal amount of money on the promotion of all state languages? Since Sanskrit has complex grammar and lengthy sandhi words in sentences it may not be good for effective speech, for rhyming poetic words as well as for voice to text typing, dictation and effective translation without lengthy interpretation. If India's pundits can earn livelihood by praising Sanskrit, performing rituals and reading Satyanarayan Katha to villagers, why should they learn Sanskrit the hard way ? Sanskrit is taught in schools and colleges and used in Vedic rituals but how many of these people are fluent in Sanskrit. India needed Macaulay to acquire Sanskrit knowledge through translation and transliteration in each language the way he had achieved in English

Sanskrit is not an old language - the languages that were actually old in North Indian subcontinent was Prakrit and Pali languages. There is a huge amount of confusion about Prakrit languages. There are 12 major North Indian languages 1, Apabhraṃśa (Prakrit); 2. Ardhamagadhi(Prakrit); 3. Dramili (oldest Prakrit); 4. Elu; 5. Gandhari; 6. Kamarupi; 7. Magadhi; 8. Maharashtri; 9. Paishachi; 10. Pali (also mentioned as Prakrit by some kingdoms); 11. Shauraseni; 12. Khasa. But each language is different and a few are referred as Prakrit language at different times especially the Dramili is the language used in the Ashoka edicts as Prakrit language which is the oldest written record for Pali and Prakrit. Ancient India had used Pali and Prakrit languages in Jainism and Buddhism literatures. Sanskrit is a new language that was created by refining, merging and choosing grammar and verbiage of all these 12 major languages- that’s why there is no record of written Sanskrit in ancient monuments or Jainism and Pali literature which were the oldest religions of Ancient India. Hence the claim to Sanskrits to be old is not proven and even Rig Veda is first written down in 14th century AD and all claims are only verbal and they wrongly point to the written literature records of Prakrit or Pali languages as Sanskrit. Hindi is formed much later by choosing the largest spoken dialect of Prakrit in the present day Uttar Pradesh. So it very clear that anything written in Sanskrit is newly written literature after Sanskrit was formed.

This Dravidianist anti-Sanskrit resentiment is really annoying. As a non-Indian, I periodically come across similar misconceptions about Indian languages, all of them coming from Dravidian nationalist sources and never from established scholarship. They are all rooted in pseudo-science and politics of India of the last decennia. Just a few points. First, Rigveda is dated by most scholars between 1500 and 1000 BCE. Its precise date is not entirely clear, but it's certainly much older than anything composed in Pali or Prakrits. The oldest material evidence is irrelevant, as material evidence except rock inscriptions doesn't survive well in South Asian climate and the text was originally orally transmitted as recognised by both Hindu tradition and current scholarship. The language and the historical realities of Rigveda are extremely archaic. They correspond to what is known about the history of the Northwest of Indian subcontinent 3500-3000 years ago. Second, the idea that Sanskrit was created by merging grammar and vocabulary of Prakrits reveals that the author of this statement doesn't know anything about history of Indo-Aryan languages. Scholars divide Indo-Aryan languages into 3 stages: Old, Middle and New. Sanskrit belongs to the category of Old Indo-Aryan languages, while Prakrits and Pali are Middle Indo-Aryan languages. Sanskrit is way more archaic than any of those languages. There's no way you can get Sanskrit by mixing them together. In fact, Sanskrit is the most archaic Indo-European language that is completely preserved. That's why everybody studying Indo-European linguistics, has to learn at least some Sanskrit. That's why you have Sanskrit scholars at all major world universities. Sanskrit is an important key to the history of Ancient Indo-Europeans. But if we believe Dravidian nationalists, everybody is deluded, except them. Third, the reason why Sanskrit appears later in ancient monuments is that until the first centuries CE, Sanskrit was a non-written language. All the existing works in Sanskrit were transmitted orally, and their transmitters refused to let them be written down as it could have potentially harm their sacredness. But from linguistic and historical analysis, mentions in other sources, we now that Sanskrit literature certainly didn't appear as late as you claim.
