Sanskrit Is The Mother of All Languages

(Please visit http://mvg.ctfm.org to hear lectures of H. H. Mahavishnu Goswami)


Maharaj gave some interesting findings of how many modern languages like English were transformed from Sanskrit.


* The word Fever comes from the Sanskrit word jvara which was initially used as jever which means “an abnormal temperature”.


* The word Dyspepsia (bad digestion) comes from dushpacanashaya.


* The word Know comes from jna.


* The word Muscle comes from mousal.


* The word Anasthesia (one lying in an improper state) comes from anastha-shaayi.


* The word Surgeon (one who wields sharp instruments) comes from salya-jana.


* The word Fertility comes from phalati-iti.


* The word Alopathy (technical meaning is ‘treatment is different from the symptom’) comes from alagpathy.


* The word Move from muhyati


* The word Father from pithra


* The word Mother from mathra


* The word Sister from svastra


* The art of Navigation was born in the river Sindh 6000 years ago. The very word Navigation is derived from the Sanskrit word navgatih. The word navy is also derived from Sanskrit Nou..


These are just a few examples. If we keep our eyes open, we can find innumerable such words that have spread from sanskrit all over the world.
