The Sanskrit Language is always linked to Religion and Spirituality and even given a Divine status after all its also known as the Language of the Gods.
In fact many who seek to study Sanskrit are usually those who want to explore religious text further eg The Bhagavad Geeta,Vedanta/Upanishads etc.
Well..there is no harm in this but to a great extent when we give anything Divine status, we subconsciously start to feel its "hard to get".
Don't we place God high up in Heaven and feel He is hard to get?That eventually gives us the licence to do as we please because we feel "Hey no big deal..Morgan Freeman is high up in heaven busy with Jim Carrey and none of us are going to become Bruce Almighty!"
So what I am trying to say here is have a more relaxed approach in learning any language be it Sanskrit or any other known language in this world.
Make a language user friendly in our mind.
To learn anything we have to experiment..alleviate our fear and feel connected and give ourselves room to feel disconnected too and then try again.
Many claim that learning Sanskrit makes them feel more "spiritual"..well hard to say for sure.
It might actually work for some in a indirect manner when they get exposed to religious text and decide to imbibe the essence within.
But dont expect any change just solely due to a language rewiring synapses in our brain because the the only true spirituality comes from the language of the heart that needs no words.
Make Your Life a Rose That Speaks Silently In the Language of Fragrance.
