Why learn Sanskrit?
Because it is the oldest recorded language on Earth
Because many of the greatest intellectual strides were scripted on its palm leaves
Because an ocean of information & wisdom remains untapped in its granthas
Because it is the only bhāṣā that can unite India

Because it is the closest daughter of PIE, the source of 445 IE languages spoken by over 40% of humanity.
Because, too great to die, it is still spoken by thousands
Because most of the words in your mother tongue is sanskrit!

It is my biggest regret of life that I have not learnt Sanskrit. No amount of translations & dictionary can make up for that vacuum. There are so many important things no textbook will tell you but you'll have to seek on your own. So I will learn it. No matter how long it takes.
