Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages of the world. It is the key to understanding the rich heritage of India and

its ancient times. It is also the language of Yoga that is now popular across the globe. World Sanskrit Day (full

relation to its original from and structure.

is behind all the languages of India

This vast literature of Vedic exegesis and Vedic speculation in philosophy, the Brahmanas, the Aranyakas and the
