Recognizing the value of Sanskrit language as the preserver and propagator of Hindu <em>dharmic <\/em>culture, Lanka Krishna Murti used to conduct free Sanskrit classes. He hoped thereby to stimulate \u00a0interest in the use of Sanskrit to understand, and benefit from, the great cultural heritage.<\/li>\n<li><em>bhAratIyata prAzastyam<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>\u00a0 samskrtaM hi ca saMskritiH.\u00a0\u00a0 The greatness of Bharatiyata lies in the Sanskrit language and the culture (Samskriti).<\/em><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>Sanskrit language that embodies the entire Hindu <em>dharmic<\/em> culture has originated from the Supreme Self as discovered by the great ancient Rshis in their deep meditative states. Sanskrit language and the cultural traditions it embodies always go together as both of them originated from the same source, the Supreme Self.<\/li>\n<li>Sanskrit language encompasses a very wide frame of reference, deep and multi-dimensional, with a specific world-view, various planes of existence and a host of knowledge systems.<\/li>\n<li>The ancient <em>rishis<\/em> and the grammarians have asserted that Reality is made up of primordial vibrations. The vibrations are the heartbeat of the cosmos. According to them, the reverberations from the cosmic \u2018pulsing\u2019 constitute the alphabet of Sanskrit language. First it was the \u2018<em>omkara<\/em>\u2019 which emanated from the Self-originating Brahman. Then all the sounds emanated from the \u2018omkara\u2019 that consists of three sounds A,U and M. it is said in <em>SrimadBhAgavatam<\/em> (12.6.43) that the mighty unborn Lord Brahma created from the \u2018<em>omkara<\/em>\u2019 the different sounds of the total collection of vowels, sibilants, semivowels, and consonants as they are known by their short and long measures. According to the \u2018Sphota\u2019 theory, \u2018<em>dhwani<\/em>\u2019(sound) and \u2018<em>artha<\/em>\u2019 (meaning) are two aspects of the same reality. It is said that there are four levels of <em>Vak<\/em> from the grossest to the subtlest. \u201c<em>VAIKHARI i<\/em>s what we conventionally experience externally. Here things are separate and as independent entities they relate to one another. The audible sound of a <em>manthra<\/em> when it is verbalized is at the <em>VAIKHARI <\/em> <em>MADHYAMA<\/em> is the subtle level of cognition where the <em>manthra<\/em> is in the mind as a thought but not verbalized aloud. The next, more subtle level is <em>PASHYANTI<\/em>, which is in the subconscious mind where these entities are inter-contained and inter-defined and not really separable at all. This is when the <em>manthra<\/em> disappears, leaving only a very mild presence but without form. <em>PARA<\/em> is the ultimate reality, where there are no separate entities and only an ocean of possibilities from which the aforementioned levels arise to manifest difference. The <em>manthra<\/em> is absent but there is silent but heightened awareness.\u201d\u00a0 (RajivMalhotra, 2011, P.419.)<\/li>\n<li>More importantly, the Sanskrit speech sounds are said to possess enormous potency.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The sacred sounds coming from the chanting of the <em>manthras <\/em>have great impact on different levels of existence: the senses, the mind, and the intellect. They pierce through these levels to bring about purification and enlightenment.<\/p>\n<p>Some experiments were conducted by the well-known scientist, Hans Jenny (1904 \u2013 1972),\u00a0 \u00a0Father of Cymatics, the study of wave phenomena, to prove that the sacred sounds affect the Seven Chakras in the spinal column, and the three pranic channels: Sushumna, Ida and Pingala.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>Reading of Vedic texts in Sanskrit, even without knowing their meaning, is tested and verified by the experiment conducted by the Maharshi University of Management, Iowa, U.S. \u00a0to show that it produces certain physiological patterns similar to the ones produced in deep meditative states. From this it can be said that the state gained during meditative practice can be integrated with active mental processes by doing <em>parayana,<\/em> reading of Vedic Sanskrit texts like Bhagavadgita, Vishnusahasranama, etc. The experiment further revealed that the reading of the same sacred texts translated into any other language did not produce a similar effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>It is obvious from the above that the sacred sounds of both parayana and mantra japa induce deep states of meditation. Our ancient rishis realized various truths and mantras in such deep meditative states. This is a well-established fact. I wish to furnish three examples in support of the above fact.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Swamy Vivekananda experienced the vision of one rishi, who, after bathing in the Sindhu river, was seen reciting the mantra that invokes Gayatri.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Swamiji heard the mantra even.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1921\">\n<li>His Holiness Jagadguru Abhinava Vidyathirtha Swamigal received detailed instructions on hatha-yoga directly from Lord Shiva in seven dreams that occurred on successive nights starting on the night of the day on which he was initiated into sanyasa by his guru Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on May 22, 1921.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, this is how he describes his first experience of the Kundalini and the chakras:<\/p>\n<p>This took place a few months after my being initiated into Samnyasa (on May 22, 1931). I had just finished my morning ahnika and was about to get up. Without premeditation, I joined my palms and said, \u201cShree Sharadayai\u00a0 namaH.\u201d Abruptly, I felt an upsurge of joy and stopped being aware of my surroundings. It began to seem that my body was becoming transparent and that I was seeing my backbone from some vantage point in front of my chest\u2026 the backbone then seemed to become translucent to reveal a canal in its interior. In moments, the canal\u2019s width became greatly magnified. I could then see a tube, red and bright like fire, traversing the length of the canal. A mellifluous female voice announced, \u201ci-am sushumnaa naadee- this is the sushumnaa naadee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The third example pertains to the experience Sadguru Jaggi Vasudev had, which in his own words goes like this:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The utterance of the sound\u201cShiva\u201d attains a completely new dimension and significance in Kedar. It is a space which has been specially prepared for this particular sound.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is not right to say this, but it is almost like on this planet, the sound<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cShiva\u201d emanates from this place. For thousands of years, people have<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>experienced that space as a reverberation of that sound.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When I got to Kedar after a long trek, I heard about Kantisarovar, so one<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>afternoon, I decided to go there. I set forth around 2 or 2:30pm and got<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>there in a little more than an hour\u2019s time. There was the lake and snowcapped<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>mountains around it. In terms of nature, it is fantastic \u2013 this huge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>lake of absolutely still water, no vegetation and all the snow-covered<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>peaks reflecting in the totally stil l water. It was an incredible place.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I just sat there, and the serenity, silence and purity penetrated my<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>consciousness. The climb, the altitude and the desolate beauty of that<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>place left me breathless. I sat in that stillness on a small rock with my<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>eyes open, imbibing every form around me. The surroundings gradually<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>lost their form and only <\/strong><strong><em>nada <\/em><\/strong><strong>\u2013 sound \u2013 existed. The mountain, the lake<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>and the whole surroundings, including my body, did not exist in their<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>usual form. Everything was just sound. Within me a song arose: \u201c<\/strong><strong><em>Nada<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>brahma vishwa swaroopa<\/em><\/strong><strong>.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I am somebody who always avoided learning the Sanskrit language.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Though I like the language very much and I know the depth of the<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>language, I avoided learning it because the moment you learn Sanskrit,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>you will invariably end up reading the scriptures. My own vision has<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>never failed me in anything even for one moment, so I did not want to<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>clutter myself with scriptures and all these traditions. So I avoided the<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sanskrit language.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>While I was sitting there, my mouth was definitely closed and my eyes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>open, and I heard this song in a big way, in my voice. It was my voice<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>singing, and it was a Sanskrit song. I heard it clearly, loudly. So loud, it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>was like the whole mountain was singing. In my experience, everything<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>had turned into sound. That is when I perceived this song. I didn\u2019t make it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>up, I didn\u2019t write it \u2013 it just descended upon me. The whole song flowed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>out in Sanskrit. The experience was overpowering.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nada Brahma Vishwaswaroopa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nada Hi Sakala Jeevaroopa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nada Hi Karma Nada Hi Dharma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nada Hi Bandhana Nada Hi Mukti<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nada Hi Shankara Nada Hi Shakti<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nadam Nadam Sarvam Nadam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nadam Nadam Nadam Nadam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Slowly, after some time, everything fell back into its earlier form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These three examples amply testify to the power Sanskrit sounds have in evoking deep meditative states, in which several personal, direct experiences take place.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>It is a known fact that Sanskrit was used as an effective medium of communication both by the elite and the common people for thousands of years.<\/li>\n<li>With its rich linguistic resources, Sanskrit is eminently suited for giving creative expression to any nuance of thought or depth of feeling. A sound knowledge of Sanskrit is required to unlock the treasure of poetic richness and profound philosophic thought contained in the literature and various knowledge systems that we have inherited. Sanskrit is a very rich and versatile language with the unique facility of deriving ever new compound words and coining words in several ways.

Consideration of gender, case (\u0935\u093f\u092d\u0915\u094d\u0924\u093f\u0903) and number of each noun will be very helpful in this process.<\/li>\n<li>Breaking the joints (\u0938\u0928\u094d\u0927\u093f\u0903)<\/li>\n<li>Resolution of compound words (\u0938\u092e\u093e\u0938\u093e\u0903) into their component words (\u0935\u093f\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0939\u0903).<\/li>\n<li>Declention(\u0938\u0941\u092c\u0928\u094d\u0924\u0930\u0942\u092a\u093e\u0923\u093f) of the nouns.<\/li>\n<li>Derivation(\u0935\u094d\u092f\u0941\u0924\u094d\u092a\u0924\u094d\u0924\u093f\u0903) of each word from the relevant root or verb(\u0927\u093e\u0924\u0941\u0903), conjugation of verbs and writing meanings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>6.One could next learn to appreciate figures of speach (\u0905\u0932\u0919\u094d\u0915\u093e\u0930\u093e\u0903), sentiments (\u0930\u0938\u093e\u0903), suggestion (\u0927\u094d\u0935\u0928\u093f\u0903) etc.,<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"details-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/krishnamurtifoundation.com\/lanka\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Transliteration.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The Present Initiative<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol start=\"11\">\n<li>It is proposed to help acquire spiritual uplift by introducing the 108 Slokas that contain the thousand names of Vishnu (<em>Vishnusahasranama)<\/em> for repeating each name with its meaning and significance.<\/li>\n<li>The meanings and significance of the thousand names as given below in English are in accordance with the scholarly interpretation and commentary of Parasara Bhattarya presented in his scholarly work called <em>bhagavadguNadarpaNa in <\/em> Sanskrit.
