Namaste friends. I'm here to share with you about the wonder that is Sanskrit. Of the many unique features that this language has, one of them is the value or the meaning that each of the sounds of this language contains. So we have words that can be all broken down to root sounds. Let's take the word heart in English. If I tell you heart, does it give you an idea of what that object heart might be doing if you didn't know what it meant? Not really. Now let's take the word heart in Sanskrit. The word heart itself has its origin in the Sanskrit Hrith. Another word to describe the heart is Hridaya. I'll write it out for you. You see this word Hrithaya is composed of these three syllables. In Sanskrit each of these syllables means something. So Hrith means that which removes, the is that which gives and here is that which moves or circulates. So in these three sounds or these three syllables put together, you almost have the representation of what the heart actually does. So the heart removes the bad blood Hrith. It gives fresh blood in the and here it helps it to circulate. Now how fantastic can that get?
