जानें संस्कृत पढें संस्कृत पाठ

जानें संस्कृत पढें संस्कृत


पाठ 1
जानें संस्कृत पढें संस्कृत में सभी सदस्योंका स्वागत है। आइये बात करें स्वागत की।
आगत = आया हुआ। परन्तु आगतम् = आगमन अर्थात किसी का आना । उसमें सु लगा दिया जो अच्छाईका द्योतक है। तो बन गया सु + आगतम् अर्थात स्वागतम्। और अब तो लोग उसमें एक और सु जोडने लगे ताकि और अच्छा हो। इस प्रकार सुस्वागतम् कहने का चलन बन गया।
वैसे आगत भी बना है गत में आ जोडकर। गत अर्थात जो गया । विगत का अर्थ है वह काल जो बीत गया। परंपरागत अर्थात जो परंपराके कारण चल रहा है। अभ्यागत का अर्थ है विशिष्टता के साथ आया हुआ (अभि + आगत = अभ्यागत)।



पाठ 2

संस्कृत सीखनेकी एक अति सरल युक्ति है। देखिये ये पंक्ति -- ११, २१, ३१, ४१, ५१ .. हर बार इकाइ में १ है और हम इसका अर्थ समझते हैं और जानते हैं कि इसे एक तरीकेसे पढा और समझा जाता है -- इग्यारह, इक्कीस, इकतीस, इकतालिस ... । ये दूसरी पंक्ति देखिये -- ९१, ९२, ९३, ९४... यहाँ दशक का अंक एक ही है। इसका भी अर्थ हम समझ लेते हैं.
इसी प्रकार संस्कृत में अंत में कुछ प्रत्यय लगते हैं और आरंभ में कुछ उपसर्ग । ऐसे शब्द मिल जायें तो उनके अर्थ और छंदात्मकता खूब उपयोग किया जा सकता है। ऐसा सर्वाधिक उपयोग करनेवाली भाषा है संस्कृत । 
पिछले पाठ में मैंने अंतमें आगत या गत लगाकर बननेवाले कुछ शब्द गिनाये थे। आज देखते हां क्रम से संबंधित ये शब्द -- क्रम, अनुक्रम, वर्णक्रम, विक्रम, पराक्रम, कार्यक्रम, आक्रमण, संक्रमण। ये सभी शब्द भारतकी हर भाषामें प्रयुक्त होते हैं। 
तो सोचिये तीन बातें -- क्या आप इनमेंसे हर शब्द का अर्थ उसकी छटाके साथ पूर्णतासे जानते हैं और उपयोग में लाते हैं -- किसी श्बद से उलझ गये हों तो यहाँ पूछ लें। 
दूसरी बात -- इतने संस्कृत शब्द जानते हुए हम क्यों न जनगणना में लिखवायें कि हमारी ज्ञात भाषाओंमें एक संस्कृत भी है।
तीसरी बात -- हमारी जमगणना की नीति विघटनवादी है -- क्या हम उसे संघटनवादी नही बना सकते -- मसलन वे पूछते हैं आपकी मातृभाषा क्या है और इस प्रकार एक मराठी या मैथिली या भोजपुरी बोलनेवालेको हिंदी बोलनेवालोंसे अलग कर देते हैं। इसकी बजाय वे पूछें कि आप भारत की कौन-कौनसी भाषा जानते हैं -- तो हम गर्वसे अपनी जानकारी की सभी भाषाएँ गिना सकते हैं और उनकी पढाई कर खुश हो सकते हैं।

पाठ 3
परखिये अपना संस्कृत का ज्ञान और यहाँ लिख डालिये सही अर्थ इन शब्दोंके -- 

भव, संभव, वैभव, अनुभव, पराभव, उद्भव, 

भाव, प्रभाव, आविर्भाव, अभाव, दुर्भाव, स्वभाव, अहंभाव

पाठ 4
मन्मथारि या नामाचे संबोधन आहे मन्मथारे (खालील श्लोकात). ते वाचून हा पाठ लिहावा वाटला. 

मन्मथारि -- मन्मथाचा (मदनाचा) अरि (शत्रू) अर्थात शंकर. याचप्रमाणे अरि ने शेवट होणारी इतर नावे आहेत -- मुरारि 

(कृष्ण), त्रिपुरारि (शंकर), मदनारि। या सर्वांचा धावा करायचा झाल्यास संबोधनामधे रि चा रे होतो, उदा श्रीकृष्ण गोविंद हरे, 

मुरारे ..

Sanskrit Wikipedia

Work in progress: 

Techies give the ancient language fresh lease of life with site that attracts about 5L visitors a month, reviving interest in the language

Dr Sumana Koundinya with a colleague
Copyright holders would sneer at the idea of digital preservation, but a group of techies is giving an ancient language a fresh lease of life with the technique.
 
Until about a year ago, most of these ‘scientists’ in the digital sphere had pursued plush tech jobs in IT majors.
 
In the prime of their careers, they have have stepped back to give Sanskrita thrust. Over the last few years, these techies, while simultaneously working on their MNC jobs, earned doctoral degrees in Sanskrit. 

They then began to focus their technical prowess on creating a strong digital database for Sanskrit. That effort resulted in Sanskrit Wikipedia, an online project that could become the Sanskrit version of the popular free encyclopaedia. 

What is more, the project is reviving interest in the language with more and more ordinary people signing up to learn the language. 

“Prior to the invention of the printing press, there were about 6,000 languages of which 4,000 vanished because they could not adapt to print and printing technology,” said Chamu Krishna Shastri, a renowned scholar of Sanskrit and a founder of the NGO Samskrita Bharati, which supports Sanskrit Wikipedia.
 
“In this digital age, everything has to have a digital presence. If a language does not have a presence on the Internet or the digital world, it will not survive for long. This is what inspired Sanskrit Wikipedia project. It will bridge the gap between Sanskrit and technology. 

More than anything else it is Sanskrit for ‘Screenagers’ as everybody picks up lessons from screens these days!” Sanskrit Wikipedia, says Dr Sumana Koundinya, the leader of the project, marries an old language to modern techniques. 

“Those who studied Sanskrit knew very little about (modern) sciences,” Koundinya said. “Similarly, scientists in various disciplines had no knowledge of Sanskrit and its ancient wisdom. Sanskrit Wikipedia is a medium which bridges the gap between these two extremities.” Koundinya quit a plush job in Oracle a couple of years ago to devote herself completely to popularising the language.

She says eight people — techies and Sanskrit scholars — are working full-time on the project. It hasn’t been easy though. “We are thankful to the Department of Kannada and Culture which pumped in initial funds to kick off the project,” Koundinya said. 

“We have grown with contributions and voluntary services of various people from across the globe. The Wikimedia Foundation based in New Delhi helped us with orientation and insight into content development. 

Resource persons like Siju Alex and Arun Ramanathan gave us technical assistance to meet the challenges of Unicode. Today, not just Bangalore and India, but people from Germany and the US contribute articles.” 

The group receives about 125 articles on an average every month from people across the globe. And while they are trying its best to generate original content, it relies heavily on the conventional Wikipedia for contemporary topics. 

The group also teaches ordinary people to speak and write Sanskrit. Their work is available at www.sa.wikipedia.org.

New Zealand school teaches Sanskrit and claims it helps children understand English

Ficino School in Mt Eden area of Auckland (New Zealand), calls itself a 'values-based academic institution' and offers education for girls and boys from year one to eight. It says about Sanskrit: "It has a wonderful system of sound and grammar, which gives the child an excellent base for the study of any language. Children love its order and beauty."
Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed has applauded Ficino School for fostering universal virtues and encouraging Sanskrit studies and adds that Sanskrit has a close relationship with other classical languages like Latin, Greek, French, German, etc.
According to Peter Crompton, principal of this school founded in 1997, where curriculum includes "food for the mind, food for the spirit, food for the body", "Sanskrit with its almost perfect grammatical system...provides children with a roadmap for understanding English." Sanskrit not only gives young learners a clear understanding of the structure of language, it also heightens their awareness of the process of speech, creating a greater understanding of and ability to, enunciate words clearly, Crompton adds.
Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, pointed out that Sanskrit should be restored to its rightful place. It needed to be brought to the mainstream and hidden scientific truths in ancient Sanskrit literature should be brought to light, he said.
Rajan Zed strongly criticized India Government for not doing enough for Sanskrit language. He asked India Government to do much more for the development, propagation, encouragement and promotion of Sanskrit in India and the world, which was essential for the development of India and preservation of its cultural heritage. Sanskrit also provided the theoretical foundation of ancient sciences.
Besides Hindu scriptures, a vast amount of Buddhist and Jain scriptures were also written in Sanskrit, which is known as "the language of the gods". According to tradition, self-born God created Sanskrit, which is everlasting and divine. The oldest scripture of mankind still in common use, Rig-Veda, was written in Sanskrit, Zed added.
Mahatma Gandhi said, "Without the study of Sanskrit, one cannot become a true learned man." German philologist Max Muller added, "Sanskrit is the greatest language of the world." (ANI)

Dharma and Religion are non-synonimous.

In none of Bharatheeya foundational Scriptures numbering over 2,400 one can see
a word HINDU, much less as a religion. All our scriptures and related literature use the world DHARMA in a sense that is much wider and much different than the meaning conveyed by the word RELIGION
Dharma is an universal approach to matters related to DIVINE. We are taught to see
DIVINUTY IN ALL THAT EXISTS -- CHARACHAR. 
BHARATHEEYA RACE is therefore, not violent to others who don't join them in
their approach to god.
The Bharateeya concept of GOD, evolved over more than 10,000 years, so we are bound to have a large no of variations.
We had Kapil muni -- the originator of Sankhya Darshan who said there is no ISHWAR -- only purush (any thing that has INTELLIGENCE) and Prakriti. But he talked of Kaivalya -- which is the end of ALL SORROWS and a state of TOTAL BLISS. This is the NIREESHWARVAD.
He was followed by Patanjali Muni who said that there is Ishwar and the Purush gets to the stage of almost the Kaivalya by his own effort but the final culmination can be achieved only through the blessings of God. And how was God -- what characteristics? To this Panini's answer was NIRGUN - NIRAKAR God.
The journey proceeded from Nireeshwarwad to Nirgun Ishwar and then to Sagun Ishwar -- the earliest concept of Sagun Ishwar being Aadi-Shakti depicted by Durga-Saptashati. Then others like Shiva and Vishnu followed -- giving rise to cults. Around 2300 back came Buddha who once again propounded the idea of NO ISHWAR but did talk of Nirwan which is similar to Kaivalya.
The freedom to choose your own concept of God and to channelise your Aatmic energy towards God is available in the Bharateeya Darshan and the oneness of all forms of God is its core character. Even Shankaracharya, while preaching Adwaita, cannot resist the temptation of composing a beautiful Stotra Bhaj Govindam. He describes his Dwaita and Adwaita from God by giving lovely example of a wave that arises in the sea -- is it one with sea or apart from sea?
Today lot of disharmony is spread because of a confusion that arises out of equating the word Religion with the word Dharma. We must promote the use of the word Dharma as non-synonimous to religion. It has to be an effort by ALL and not just few individuals to emphasize that Dharma has a meaning larger than the meaning conveyed by Religion.
