For thousands of years Sanskrit has been the medium of expression for a society that values the spiritual life above all else. Sanskrit is the repository of a timeless wisdom that continues to renew and uplift the human spirit wherever and whenever it is sincerely honored and studied.

- The alphabet, written and spoken
