Let explore the magic of Sanskrit. In this thread all words are not mine some are taken from online sources. I want to give credit to Surya Tiwari, one of my friend who provided the magical mysteries of Sanskrit. Please go through the whole thread its informative.
As Sanskrit is PRACHEEN BHASHA (Ancient Language), so it is very much useful for research purpose. So people who have skill going world wide and gaining respect and profit both from this field. As we Indians are not very much interested in this field and give less importance to
to this language. English as it does not belongs to India. People of Hindi wants to pick up slangs from Urdu but doesn't want to protect the Vocabulary of Sanskrit considering it old-fashioned language. On the context of rich vocabulary I want to add something.

What may often be overlooked, however, is the importance of the particular sound vibrations used, for it is not merely the act of chanting but more importantly the use of Sanskrit that produces profound change within people. In fact, vedic literature declares that Sanskrit
chanting is an extremely enjoyable, powerful way for people to transform and awaken, a magical vehicle for accessing higher states of consciousness. Now lets explore the some lines of Sanskrit which are amazing.
Have you heard about any book which can give you different story when you read it from backward? Here is a book Sri Raghava Yadhaveeyam. This book is written in such a way that you will enjoy the story of Rama when you read it in forward way while you will enjoy the story of
Krishna when you read it from backward. Some lines from there is :-
Forward:-
वन्देऽहं देवं तं श्रीतं रन्तारं कालं भासा यः ।
रामो रामाधीराप्यागो लीलामारायोध्ये वासे ॥
Translation :-
I pay my obeisance to Lord Shri Rama, who with his heart pining for Sita, travelled across the
Sahyadri Hills and returned to Ayodhya after killing Ravana and sported with his consort, Sita, in Ayodhya for a long time.
Backward:-
सेवाध्येयो रामालाली गोप्याराधी मारामोरा ।
यस्साभालंकारं तारं तं श्रीतं वन्देहं देवं ॥
Translation :-
I bow to Lord Shri Krishna, whose chest
is the sporting resort of Shri Lakshmi; who is fit to be contemplated through penance and sacrifice, who fondles Rukmani and his other consorts and who is worshipped by the gopis, and who is decked with jewels radiating splendour.
Magha was a great Sanskrit Poet and Author. He was an expert in writing a whole Sloka with one-two-three-four consonants. Here is just an example from his book Shishupala Vadha.
In 144th stanza, he writes whole sloka with only one consonant.
दाददो दुद्ददुद्दादी दाददो दूददीददोः ।
दुद्दादं दददे दुद्दे दादाददददोऽददः ॥
Meaning :-
Sri Krishna, the giver of every boon, the scourge of the evil-minded, the purifier, the one whose arms can annihilate the wicked who cause suffering to others, shot his pain-causing arrow at the
enemy.
Vernachitras :- The vernachitras are shlokas written with certain constraints on the use of consonants in which all the 33 consonanats in Sanskrit come in their natural order.
कः खगौघाङचिच्छौजा झाञ्ज्ञोऽटौठीडडण्ढणः।
तथोदधीन् पफर्बाभीर्मयोऽरिल्वाशिषां सहः
Meaning ;-
Who is he, the lover of birds, pure in intelligence, expert in stealing the strength of others, leader among the destroyers of the enemies, the steadfast, the fearless, the one who filled
the ocean? He is the king Maya, the repository of the blessings that can destroy the foes.”
Now laugh on Sanskrit, you modern western influeneced people have no any work rather than laughing. And you are laughing because you don't have gut to learn Sanskrit.
Another last amazing fact about Sanskrit.
Sanskrit allows word compounding of arbitrary length. Nouns and verbs can be expressed in one word. The longest word ever used in Sanskrit literature is
निरन्तरान्धकारित-दिगन्तर-कन्दलदमन्द-सुधारस-बिन्दु-सान्द्रतर-घनाघन-वृन्द-सन्देहकर-स्यन्दमान-मकरन्द-बिन्दु-बन्धुरतर-माकन्द-तरु-कुल-तल्प-कल्प-मृदुल-सिकता-जाल-जटिल-मूल-तल-मरुवक-मिलदलघु-लघु-लय-कलित-रमणीय-पानीय-शालिका-बालिका-करार-विन्द-गलन्तिका-गलदेला-लवङ्ग-पाटल-घनसार-कस्तूरिकातिसौरभ-
मेदुर-लघुतर-मधुर-शीतलतर-सलिलधारा-निराकरिष्णु-तदीय-विमल-विलोचन-मयूख-रेखापसारित-पिपासायास-पथिक-लोकान्
in transliteration composed of 431 letters, thus making it the longest word ever to appear in worldwide literature. Each hyphen separates every individual word this word is
composed of.
So I am requesting to conscious learner of Sanskrit, please preserve it for our next generations. I dont want fame and popularity but please spread it to your near ones.
Dhanyavadah.
