Sanskrit is one of the oldest known languages over thousands of years. It is also called “Dev Vani” (the language of gods) as it is said that Brahma introduced this language to the Sages of celestial bodies. It is believed that the Sanskrit language came from Indo-European language family of Indian subcontinent. It was only in the 18th century, a similarity between Sanskrit, Latin and Greek was found which made the think tanks of the world to study and discover the relationship of all Indo-European languages. Enough evidence is yet to be gathered to accept Indian origin of Sanskrit language.

Vedic Sanskrit was the earliest form of Sanskrit language approximately around 1500-200 B.C.), when “knowledge” was handed down through the generations orally. In this period there was composition of hymns, poems, puranas of which some form sacred scripts of Hindus. The oldest known text in Sanskrit, the Rigveda, a collection of over a thousand Hindu hymns, the Sama-veda is the veda of chants, the Yajur-veda the veda of prayers; finally, the Atharva-veda contains the lore of the Atharvans.

Approximately between 500 B.C. – 1000 A.D, there came up Classical Sanskrit, based on the old Vedic speech, the period after which Panini composed his grammar of Sanskrit. Ramayana and Mahabharata were the two great epics of this period. Classical Sanskrit also includes works of philosophy, astronomy, science, medicine and law.We at Shri BhagvatGurukul teach basic Sanskrit language for beginners to get them familiar with Devangiri or Sanskrit so that they can easily recite and understand the meanings of powerful Mantra’s or celestial words which possess extreme knowledge and wisdom. This language can help you understand basic concepts of human race and provides you with divine wisdom and guidance for leading a blissful life.”Shri bhagvat Gita” also is originally inscribed in Sanskrit language and it’s well known for its wisdom and life lessons given by lord Krishna himself.

Gurmukhi

“How Often Do We Speak Panjabi?” The topic is very important and made us think about how much we speak and value Panjabi.

If we look at third generation Pakistani children, they can speak fluent Urdu/Panjabi. On the other hand, most second generation young Panjabis cannot speak fluent Panjabi. This is very worrying, considering the Panjabi language and Gurmukhi script is an integral part of Sikh heritage, culture, and religion.

All Punjabi people should be able to speak Panjabi. If not – LEARN! Guru Sahib gave us Gurmukhi lipi (script) and the Panjabi language . It’s mother tongue of Punjab. A nation without its mother tongue is doomed! Look at Africans who were made into slaves. They were deprived of their mother tongue. When they would speak their native language they would be beaten. Eventually they lost all culture, history, and religion and become slaves of western culture and adopted the names of the White masters.
Nanak Sahib invented the 35 Akharee and taught at Kartarpur.

Later Angad Sahib started formal teaching classes at Khadoor.

So at Shri Bhagvat Gurukul we Teach Gurmukhi language
to our children by which we will enable them to read Guru Granth Sahib and other literature about Sikh theology and our(Sikh) faith.

So if you wish to learn the ancient wisdom languages (sanskrit & Gurmukhi) get in touch with Shri BhagvatGurukul and let us help you blossom like lotus flower which stays in mud but doesn’t get dirty same as we can learn to lead a pious and happy life untouched with malice of the world around us.
