Tat savitur varam rupam jyotih parasya dhimahi Yannah satyena dipayet.
Let us meditate on the most auspicious (best) form of Savitri, on the Light of the Supreme
which shall illumine us with the Truth. - Sri Aurobindo
The vital question is how we are to learn and make use of Sanskrit and
the indigenous languages so as to get to the heart and
intimate sense of our own culture and establish a vivid continuity
between the still living power of our past and the yet uncreated power
of our future. -Sri
Aurobindo
The ancient and classical creations of the Sanskrit tongue both in
quality and in body and abundance of excellence, in their potent
originality and force and beauty, in their substance and art and
structure, in grandeur and justice and charm of speech and in the height
and width of the reach of their spirit stand very evidently in the front
rank among the world’s great literatures. The language itself, as has
been universally recognised by those competent to form a judgment, is
one of the most magnificent, the most perfect and wonderfully sufficient
literary instruments developed by the human mind, at once majestic and
sweet and flexible, strong and clearly-formed and full and vibrant and
subtle, and its quality and character would be of itself a sufficient
evidence of the character and quality of the race whose mind it
expressed and the culture of which it was the reflecting medium. -Sri
Aurobindo
