History – By Ezra

Sanskrit is a language that is also known as the language of the Gods or the first language with a documented history of 3500 years. It originated in India and is the main language in Uttarkhand. Sanskrit even today is used at Hindu rituals and Buddhist practices. Sanskrit is still used a few traditional institutions in India and several attempts are being made for a revival.

Vedic Sanskrit is the oldest form of the language. Religious text written in Sanskrit 3500 years ago: the Yajur-Veda, the Sama-Veda, the Atharva-Veda, and the Rig-Veda (The Knowledge of Verses). These were written after the Aryan invasion into India. But before the arrival of Aryans, India was certainly inhabited by other people indigenous to the fertile Indus Valley, maybe, Dravidians, or Tamilians, or Mundas.

Satellite imaging shows the existence of a “mythical” Saraswathi River. Civilization probably began around 8000 years ago as farming and food gathering communities spread over this vast area producing flourishing village centers 6000 years ago. The people living in this Indus valley (Dravidians, or Tamilians, or Mundas) lived in areas by the Saraswathi River. The Saraswathi river does not flow anymore, but the language spoken by the people who lived around the Saraswathi River still exists. The culture of this Saraswathi river was succeeded by the early Vedic culture 4500 years ago with Sanskrit as the principal language of communication.

And finally, the language of Sanskrit (a language that has been around for 7 millenia) is being used for state of the art Artificial Intelligence computer progranning. Why Sanskrit you ask? Becuase it is the clearest, the only one unambigous, a language not open to more than one interpretation. And some say a language that arises from the root vibrations of the Universe. Wow. That’s a lot to handle. So listen to this below to clear your mind.

Ahhh… finally… done with this post! Okay bye… “see” you next time! Bye… 🙂
