Is Sanskrit more than just a language? Why are Hindu texts rooted in this language, and what sets it apart from others? What beauty lies within it, and how does it illuminate various aspects of spirituality? Sanskrit is intricately linked to Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). Many sacred texts such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and various sutras, were composed in Sanskrit. As a result, Sanskrit is deeply intertwined with the spiritual and philosophical traditions of India.

About the guest:
Sahadevananda met Paramahamsa Vishwananda in 2004 and was initiated as a Brahmacari in 2022. Taking to heart Paramahamsa Vishwananda's personal instruction of studying the bhakti literature, he's taken a deep dive into Sanskrit and Vaishnava scriptures, which has in recent years led him to serve as a member of the Knowledge Department in SPN.
