On the occasion on World Sanskrit Day. ReSanskrit celebrates by reciting how Sanskrit is not just a language but a medium to the higher intellect, science, culture, literature, religion and much more to provide us a better way of life.

Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. It is the most ancient language. Historians say that the ancient Aryans transacted in this language, and tradition maintains that it is the language of Gods. The words Geervani Bharati in verse refers to this. The works composed in Sanskrit are all beautiful and many of the religious and literary works of India, like the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas, Vedas, and Upanishads, are composed in Sanskrit. Many great poets like Kalidasa, Magha, Bhavabhuti, Dandi, etc. all wrote in Sanskrit and enriched our cultural heritage. These books bring out the scope of emotional joy.
