“Sanskrit is a beautiful contextual language. It is called “Dev Bhashaâ€� the language of the soul. Here, meanings of the words must come from the heart, from direct experience â€� dictionary meanings or static meanings have not much value. Meanings of the words vary depending on mind-set, time, location and culture. The words are made to expand the possibilities of the mind.”
