Language is the Key

Language is the key: 

  A nation is known by the quality of its people, their language, culture and history. India had attained the rare distinction of a land of yogis. The following statement of Lord Macaulay in the British Parliament on February 2, 1835 makes this point clear.

  "I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and i have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that i do not think we would ever conquer the country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation  which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and therefore i propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

  This is a pointer to the state of our nation today. Even the Moghuls did not interfere, rather adored the ancient Indian scriptures and there are many scholars among the Muslims who are learned in the Veda. In fact, many have pointed out that Qur'on is nothing but the Rk and Saman in Persian language. What is wrong with our people today, aping the West in dress, food, language, culture and everything that ruins the human values?

    In a way, it appears man takes birth in ignorance and dies in ignorance without ever knowing where and how he/she has come and what he is doing and expected to do, and when and how he/she will go from here. During the interlude, called birth and death, or a drudgery of what is called life of say a hundred years, nothing much can be known.

   It is a wonder how the child learns to speak in its early days, that too, many languages as and how it is exposed to! Also, there are children who get confused when the parents talk in different languages and fail to pick up any! It is a cause for anxiety if the child does not speak as expected within a certain period and the parents have to rush to doctors. 

   There is language problem everywhere in India due to  linguistic State and the education policy of the Government! The problem lies in the quality of the politicians and selfish foolish people who run the Government. People who do not know our ancient history, culture, tradition, scriptures and rich treasures in the form of Veda, Upanishads, Brahmasutra and the Bhagavad-Gita have come to rule! Obviously, they have ruined the country. 

    let us remember, it is Lord Macaulay who stated in the British Parliament on February 2, 1825 "that the only way to make the indian slaves and work for them is by destroying their traditional educational base." He was instrumental in framing the British-oriented Indian education policy with English as the medium of instruction and now India stands totally destroyed, with linguistic States, border disputes and quarreling among themselves! 

   We have lost a golden opportunity to frame an indigenous people-oriented education policy with Samskruta as the basis soon after Independence. This is not a tall claim and can be seen from the rich cultural heritage of india as seen in our Samskruta bhasha illustrated here. Every alphabet of Samskrutam is potent, rich and resourceful! It is the divine language (deva bhasha) that infuses intelligence (medha shakti), creative energy (kriya shakti), in the children. Let's see how the svara and vyanjana aksharas are created and what power these sounds of syllables have in their depth. The whole person- physiologically, is involved in this exercise of learning and using the Samskruta bhasha. It leads man from animal to human, and divine states gradually and establishes him at the highest level in all walks of life, peak of humanity (uttunga shikhara) !
