Sanskrit carries India’s eternal wisdom: Sat Sharma

Jammu, Aug 8: BJP J&K President Sat Sharma led a BJP delegation comprising of senior leaders and MLAs to witness the cultural and intellectual richness of Bharat’s ancient legacy on the second day of exhibition of Sanskrit literature, old books and rare manuscripts organized during the Sanskrit Week celebrations at Dhanvantri Library, Jammu University.

The exhibition, organized was jointly by Sanskrit Bharti, Jammu & Kashmir, Shashvat Art Gallery and the Sanskrit University.

Addressing the gathering, Sat Sharma hailed the Jammu University for the initiative. He said that Sanskrit is not just a language, it is the soul of our civilization. He said that from the Vedas to the Shastras, from hymns to mantras, Sanskrit has been the sacred medium carrying the knowledge, wisdom, and spirituality of Bharat through millennia. He said that today, when the world is rediscovering India’s ancient scientific contributions, be it in astronomy, mathematics, or medicine, it becomes even more important to connect with Sanskrit to truly understand and revive that heritage. Sharma said, “Sanskrit is a scientific language with unparalleled phonetic precision and linguistic clarity.

Many of our daily-use words, rituals, and thoughts are deeply rooted in Sanskrit. Promoting it in daily conversations, prayers, and education is our responsibility to preserve our cultural identity.” Yudhvir Sethi appreciated the exhibition, saying that this initiative is a step toward reclaiming our cultural pride. He said that the preservation of such manuscripts is a service to history and the future and the schools and institutions must find innovative ways to bring Sanskrit into regular learning. The knowledge encoded in Sanskrit texts is not only spiritual but also deeply scientific and logical, he added.
