Sanskrit gets a new spokesperson in Professor Dean Brown,
an eminent Theoretical Physicist, cosmologist, philosopher
and Sanskrit scholar, whose translation of the Upanishads
was published by the Philosophical Research Society. The
following is a very interesting interview where Professor
Dean Brown brings about an interesting co-relation of
Sanskrit & Physics

[Duration: 23:28 - Taken: 04 June 2006 - Location: Israel]
Prof. Dean Brown points out that most European languages
can be traced back to a root language that is also related
to Sanskrit - the sacred language of the ancient Vedic
religions of India. Many English words actually have
Sanskrit origins. Similarly, many Vedic religious concepts
can also be found in Western culture. He discusses the
fundamental idea of the Upanishads - that the essence of
each individual, the atman, is identical to the whole
universe, the principle of brahman. In this sense, the
polytheistic traditions of India can be said to be monistic
at their very core.
While it might be considered a forgotten language in India,
globally Sanskrit has found many takers. The American
Sanskrit Institute was founded 18 years ago with a vision
to spread "the ease and joy of learning Sanskrit through an
immersion experience, the enjoyment of making the sounds,
fluently reading the original Devanagari script, and
directly reading, chanting and understanding sacred
literature."The Indological department, University of Bonn
Germany conducts various courses and study programs.
While the world is waking up to Sanskrit -- the divine
language, where are we in terms of preserving the world's
oldest known tongue?

That's funny - I thought us white honks and kirastanis weren't
supposed to mess with Sanskrit, it being the superior language of the
superior race. |

Sanskrit is the language of Hindus and not of any superior race! |
