NASA to echo Sanskrit in space

Agra: Very soon the traditional Indian language Sanskrit
will be a part of the space, with the United States of
America (USA) mulling to use it as computer language at
NASA. After the refusal of the Indian Sanskrit scholars
to help them acquire command over the language, US has
urged its young generation to learn Sanskrit.

On visit to Agra, Aurobindo Foundation (Indian Culture)
Puducherry Director Sampadananda Mishra told Dainik
Jagran about the prospects of Sanskrit. Mishra said, “In
1985, NASA scientist Rick Briggs had invited 1,000
Sanskrit scholars from India for working at NASA. But
scholars refused to allow the language to be put to
foreign use.”

According to Rick Briggs, Sanskrit is such a language in
which a message can be sent by the computer in the least
number of words.

After the refusal of Indian experts to offer any help in
understanding the scientific concept of the language,
American kids were imparted Sanskrit lessons since their
childhood.

The NASA website also confirms its Mission Sanskrit and
describes it as the best language for computers. The
website clearly mentions that NASA has spent a large sum
of time and money on the project during the last two
decades.

The scientists believe that Sanskrit is also helpful in
speech therapy besides helping in mathematics and
science. It also improves concentration. The alphabets
used in the language are scientific and their correct
pronunciation improves the tone of speech. It encourages
imagination and improves memory retention also.

Mishra told the daily that even the call centre employees
are improving their voice by reading Sanskrit, besides
the language being used by news readers, film and theatre
artist for alternative voice remedy.
