I have been studying the ancient language called Sanskrit for 24 years, like one year very intensively. In fact, the correct name is Saanusvaarakrta, and it was used by a group of people called Aryans who moved into northern India and Iran several thousand years ago. Where they came from before that, no one knows. Their script is Brahmi, which about 2300 years ago began to be replaced by Devanagari. Personally, I doubt that the Aryans themselves changed their writing. Brahmi and Devanagari are scripts, alphabets, not languages. This language is not Indo-European, nor Indo-Aryan, nor Indian, as historians try to make it out to be. The languages ​​that arose and subsequently became distinct at the local level and by the local population, all called by the name of Sanskrit can be called Indian. Each of these languages ​​contains something of the original Sanskrit, also called Vedic Sanskrit. But that’s all they have in common. The grammar and rules of derived Sanskrit languages ​​were written by the grammarian Panini 2400 years ago. This grammar is a complex system of 4000 rules. One of the rules was unraveled just this year by an Indian scientist. There are currently more than 400 language varieties and over 2000 dialects in India. Each state has its own official language. There are 23 official languages ​​of India.
Next I will show you what this jumble of different languages ​​is, which arose thousands of years ago and is called Sanskrit. But I will return first to the Aryans, or rather to the Brahmins, who were the keepers of ancient knowledge called the Vedas. All this was passed down orally from the parents to the children, learning everything by heart with constant repetition. It was passed down orally because everything was kept secret. Therefore, I very much doubt that the Vedas became common knowledge just like that. Despite the claims of various people that they know when the Vedas were created and what they contain, I personally doubt this too, and I have reasons. Alexander the Great invaded India a little over 2300 years ago. He knew about the Vedas, and threatening the chief Brahmin of a village, he asked him to write the sacred texts for him. The Brahmin, at the risk of his life, gives him his sons, who know the sacred texts by heart. But he doesn’t give him anything written. And it is natural that his sons can answer Alexander’s questions about the contents of the sacred texts, but no one can understand what they said as far as it corresponds to the truth. These secrets have been guarded by the Brahmins for thousands of years, and surely they have devised enough ways and rules to protect them.
And as I have been engaged for a long time in reading and restoring an ancient text, and know enough about the original Sanskrit, I deeply doubt that anyone knows what the Vedas say, and whether the commonly known text actually corresponds to the original . That was the boring part. To be continued…
