Ancient Bharat (India) has been a host for Linguistic diversity.
Enriched with 22 official languages, 13 official scripts, 780 dialects spoken and 1560 regional dialectical variations. Our Linguistic foundations are led by Vedanga-s, Shiksha Shastra-s -> phonetics Pratishakhya-s, Vyakara grantha-s -> Grammar , Niruktha -> Etymology , Tharka shastra-> Logic and Chando grantha-s Meter.
All these are protecting our languages without hampering for thousands of years.
What a glory we all can celebrate!

‘Sanatana’ means ever living. It is similar to another term ‘Puraatana’ which means ancient. But Sanatana is eternal–relevant in previous ages, is relevant now and will remain relevant.
The importance of Sanatana Dharma is knowing the purpose of life, that it is a journey, and the experience and knowing is to become Brahman.
Contemplate on what Yoga teaches and what purpose does Vedanta serve.
