Sanskrit
With Dr. H.V.S Shastri
Sanskrit is the mother of all languages and is the language used in all the scriptures of Yoga. The mere repetition of Sanskrit words and phrases has a purifying and elevating effect on the body and mind.
The study of Sanskrit is a spiritual practice of inestimable benefit. Dr. H.V.S. Shastri is the former academic director of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in London. He is a Sanskrit scholar with a vast knowledge of the Vedic literature.
