https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/a1c28tr1/ISTOCK-923799524032213.JPG To understand why Sanskrit carries this weight, one must go back—far back—to a civilisational moment so ambitious in its intellectual reach that it remains, even now, somewhat dizzying to contemplate. Somewhere between 1500 and 500 BCE, on the vast, hot plain of northern India, a body of literature was composed that would become the foundational document of human metaphysical inquiry. The Vedas—Rig, Sama, Yajur, Atharva—were not, as the uninitiated sometimes imagine, simply religious hymns. They were simultaneously cosmological theory, poetic performance, linguistic experimentation, and proto-scientific observation. The Rig Veda contains, in a famous hymn called the Nasadiya Sukta, a meditation on the origins of existence that begins: Nasadasin no sadasit tadanim—“Neither non-existence nor existence was there then.” It is a sentence that would not embarrass a 21st century physicist. The Upanishads followed, those extraordinary dialogues between teacher and student in which the nature of the self (atman) and its relationship to the universal ground of being (Brahman) was probed with a rigour that rivalled anything ancient Greece produced. Aham Brahmasmi: ‘I am Brahman.’ Tat tvam asi: ‘That thou art.’ These were not declarations of faith. They were origin- relevant propositions, subject to debate, refinement, and counter-argument across rival schools that argued passionately for centuries—Advaita, Dvaita, Vishishtadvaita—about the precise nature of the relationship between the individual self and the cosmos. Sanskrit was the medium in which all of this thinking happened. It was also, through the genius of Panini’s fourth-century BCE grammar Ashtadhyayi—eight chapters containing nearly 4,000 rules—the first language ever subjected to full systematic linguistic analysis. Panini’s achievement was so complete, so ruthlessly logical, that modern computational linguists have described his grammar as a precursor to formal language theory. https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/nup6ivlf/KARNATRU032218.JPG Sanskrit Museum newindianexpress en 2026-05-17T00:30:00.000Z The return of Sanskrit Magazine https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/2026/May/17/the-new-stellar-cult https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/vyuy4on1/ISTOCK-501206166044720.JPG https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/bvdxk4b4/250417_06_F1041528.JPG Moët Hennessy https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/hkr200xm/VC_BRVB042059.JPG Veuve Clicquot https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/g0sp6qxb/PEN_DUO_CORK045014.JPG Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon newindianexpress en 2026-05-17T00:30:00.000Z The new stellar cult Moët Hennessy, Dom Pérignon, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon https://www.newindianexpress.com/magazine/2026/May/17/digging-up-a-nation https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/xya87zio/2THKEELADI041522.JPG Keeladi excavations https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-14/81yv2zqy/DIG050303.JPG The Dig: Keeladi and the Politics of India’s Past By: Sowmiya Ashok Publisher: Hachette Pages: 320 Price: Rs499 newindianexpress en 2026-05-17T00:30:00.000Z Digging up a nation The Dig: Keeladi and the Politics of India’s Past https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/spirituality/2026/May/17/orientation-of-life https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-15/tm3k1r6y/1754385934913011939.JPG newindianexpress en 2026-05-17T00:30:00.000Z Orientation of Life life-orineted person https://www.newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/spirituality/2026/May/17/the-parallel-pursuits-of-seeking-truth https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-15/py8j3yki/ISTOCK-1070156776044747.JPG newindianexpress en 2026-05-17T00:21:00.000Z The Parallel Pursuits of Seeking Truth spirituality https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2026/May/16/uss-ford-returns-home-after-11-month-deployment-supporting-iran-war-and-maduros-capture https://cf-images.assettype.com/newindianexpress/2026-05-16/2z6dtgok/AP26136651496835.jpg The USS Gerald R.
