I swear to Krishna I get these thoughts of cleansing the site and exchange off of Sanskrit.

Sometime ago I wrote of these laborers visiting me and me wanting to convert everything to Awadhi and …

The language of this land has always been proto-Sanskrit.

The language of this land, well through my extensive travels – is one where all of the many many people – refer to love as “Maya”. It is Shivaji Maharaj’s Marathi, it is Bengali, it is one that created Nepali.

It is also one that created Tulsidas. And it is one that went into crafting Mauli, as he crafted Gyaneshwari.

And yet – Sanskrit is NOT that language.

But do I keep it on here because it reminds most of the world – of their origins?

How can we ignore the fusion Sanskrit itself is?

I think most of the animist pagan mantras were infused into Sanskrit later.

Its also sonorous. Its powerful to read and if you speak it – you feel like a King.

We have a part of the very original Sanskrit speaking people – as we have parts of people that spoke Maya to begin with. We are a fusion just as our languages are also a fusion.

There are NO people remaining that are purely out of Sanskrit crafters.

The crime of Sanskrit was the killing of Mauli and the persecution of so many others like Tulsidas. But it also gave this modern day fusion to us that we are and our culture is.

It is our shared “dharohar”. What to do.

Satyam vadami.
