Few Quotes on Sanskrit:
"Without the study of Samskrit one cannot become a true Indian and a true learned man." -- Mahatma Gandhi
"Samskrit has moulded the minds of our people to the extent to which they themselves are not conscious. Samskrit literature is national in one sense, but its purpose has been universal. That was why it commanded the attention of people who were not followers of a particular culture." -- Dr. S. Radhakrishnan
"Samskrit was at one time the only language of the world. It is more perfect and copious than Greek and Latin." -- Prof. Bopp
"Samskrit is the origin of modern languages of Europe." -- Mr. Bubois
"Samskrit is the greatest language of the world." -- Max Muller
"To the Indian Rishis the divine play was the evolution of the cosmos through countless aeons. There is an infinite number of creations in an infinite universe. The Rishis gave the name kalpa to the unimaginable span of time between the beginning and the end of creation." -- Dr. Fritjof Capra

In my college days, when options were given to choose between French and Sanskrit, I chose Sanskrit with a feel that this is my language. I have to learn. But now, 12 years down the line this is what I remember "raamaha raamou raamaaha" and I don't know exactly what it is about... :( How ODD? Now, it's high time for me to wake up and learn my mother tongue with immense passion...
