विना वेदं विना गीतां विना रामायण कथाम् ।

 विना संस्कृतभाषां भारतं भारतं नहि।

Sanskrit offers a foundation for uniform education among students due to its profound influence as the root of Indian languages, literature, and culture. It serves as a cornerstone, deeply embedded in the cultural heritage and intellectual traditions of India. Compared to other languages, this language offers unique benefits, such as improvements in short-term memory, selective and sustained attention, and enhanced planning and execution skills. It also positively influences personality traits—referred to as ‘Gunas’ (or गुणाः)—which may contribute to employability. This language encapsulates a rich literary tradition that integrates elements of music, drama, emotion, dharma (धर्म), mythology, politics, economics, ethics, philosophy, religion, and warfare, all of which have been passed down through generations by Sages. Promoting Sanskrit in education requires prioritizing comprehension over memorization. Students should focus on understanding the language before advancing to writing, as regulations now mandate Sanskrit education.
