Sanskrit A Divine Language

It is called Devani as it is the most poetic musical language .The script in which sanskrit written is called Devanagiri which means dwelling place of God’s

The Upanishads are written in Sanskrit; Sanskrit is the oldest language on earth. The very word ‘sanskrit’ means transformed, adorned, crowned, decorated, refined — but remember the word “transformed”. The language itself was transformed because so many people attained to the ultimate, and because they were using the language, something of their joy penetrated into it, something of their poetry entered into the very cells, the very fibre of the language. Even the language became transformed, illuminated. It was bound to happen. Just as it is happening today in the West, languages are becoming more and more scientific, accurate, mathematical, and precise. They have to be because science is giving them colour, shape, and form. If science is growing, then of course the language in which the science will be expressed will have to be scientific.

The same happened five thousand years ago in India with Sanskrit. So many people became enlightened and they were all speaking Sanskrit; their enlightenment entered into it with all its music, poetry, with all its celebration. Sanskrit became luminous; it is the most poetic and musical language.

A poetic language is just the opposite of a scientific language. In scientific language every word has to be very precise in meaning; it has to have only one meaning. In poetic language the word has to be liquid, flowing, dynamic, not static, allowing many meanings, many possibilities. The word has to be not precise at all; the more imprecise it is the better, because then it will be able to express all kinds of nuances.
