SANSKRIT
THE LANGUAGE OF INDIA’S SOUL
Sanskrit is a language which through its contents,
sonority and mellifluousness, has the power to lift
us up above ourselves – it is, as thousands of
people would say from their own experience, a
potent aid to the formation of character and sense
of exaltation, in addition to ensuring a sense of pan-
Indian cultural as well as political unity.
