In the heart of London ,a British school has made Sanskrit compulsory subject for its junior division because it helps students grasp math,science and other-languages better.
"This is the most perfect and logical language in the world,the only one that is not named after the people who speak it. Indeed the word itself means 'perfected-language."--Warwick Jessup, Head, Head,
Sanskrit department
"The Devnagri script and spoken Sanskrit are two of the best ways for a child to overcome stiffness of fingers and the tongue," says Moss.
"Today's European languages do not use many parts of the tongue and mouth while speaking or many finger movements while writing,whereas Sanskrit helps immensely to develop cerebral dexterity through its phonetics."
I would say GOOD ON THEM;because SOMEBODY IN THE WORLD FOUND IT USEFUL..!!
Like SWAMI VIVEKANANDA,about 100 years AGO had said that ONLY the WEST has SOME POTENTIAL to TEACH US-INDIANS TRUE-RELIGION,which is about our RELATIONSHIP with OTHER-HUMANS,OTHER-BEINGS and OTHER-THINGS called the WORLD or the UNIVERSE and also with BHAGAVAN PARAMAATMAN or GOD ie WE-INDIANS WILL HAVE TO LEARN from the WEST about OUR AGE OLD ETERNAL-RELIGION-OF-GOD ie SANAATAN-DHARMA..!!
WE-INDIANS ARE ATHEISTS ie NAASTIKS,because WE-BELIEVE only in devi-devataas ie gods and godesses,temples,moorty-poojaa,vyakti-poojaa,guru-poojaa,bhajans,satsangs
homs,havans etc..!!
That is,WE-INDIANS BELIEVE only in ME or MINE..!!
Like INSECTS,BIRDS,BEASTS,BRUTES or ANIMALS WE-INDIANS too are EXTREMELY-SELFISH.
WE-INDIANS BELIEVE in EVERYTHING,EXCEPT FOR NAMELESS-FORMLESS-BODYLESS-SELFLESS-UNSELFISH BHAGAVAN PARAMAATMAN or GOD;WHO IS BELIEVED to be OUR-FATHER, OUR-MOTHER,OURSELF and also the FATHER,the MOTHER or the SELF of ALL-BEINGS and ALL-THINGS called the WORLD or the UNIVERSE..!!
Finally,I hope still WE HAVE TIME to CHANGE our SELFISH-ATTITUDE,BEHAVIOUR or CONDUCT..!!
Think about that for a moment..!!
