Spoken Sanskrit.
Is it possible to speak Sanskrit?
Yes..entirely possible but we need to be realistic too.
Sanskrit is not a language that is actively spoken on a day to day basis even though there exists a few organizations in India where Sanskrit is spoken and also a village in Karnataka India where everyone speaks Sanskrit right from the simpleton to the most educated.
For the rest of us who stay in the rest of the world where Sanskrit is not actively spoken at all...we certainly can't expect to be as fluent as can be because there would hardly be usage and practice.
One might understand a language,read and write it but to be fluent in speaking one needs constant exposure to at least a group of people who speak it.
Since its not easy to find such groups one can start of by speaking a few simple words in day to day life.
Just try to use as many as Sanskrit words as possible from greeting someone to fighting!
Yes..you can fight in Sanskrit too!LOL
anyway..for today..we would focus on some simple day to day conversation we can relate to.
Ravi is talking to Kamala..lets begin.
रविः : नमस्ते। अहं रविः।किं भवती कमला अस्ति?
raviH : namaste| ahaM raviH|kiM bhavatI kamalA asti?
Ravi : Greetings, I am Ravi. Are you Kamala?
कमला : नमस्ते । आम् अहं कमला। भवान् कः ?
kamalA : namaste | Am aham kamalA| bhavAn kaH ?
Kamala : Greetings.Yes, I am Kamala. Who are you?
रविः : अहं रामस्य पुत्रः|
raviH: ahaM rAmasya putraH.
Ravi: I am Mr Rama's son.
कमला : रामः? कः रामः? न जनामि रामः कः अस्ति?
kamalA : rAmaH? kaH rAmaH? na janAmi rAmaH kaH asti?
Kamala : Rama? Who is Rama? I do not know who Rama is?
रविः :विस्मृतः ? स्मरणं प्रयत्नं करोति|
raviH vismRtaH ?smaraNam prayatnam karoti.
Ravi :forgotten? Try to remember.
Song plays in the background ......Dekho Qareeb se Mile hai naseeb se
Aayega pal yeh phir kahan
Aayega pal yeh phir kahan
So who is Rama? What was Rama's relationship with Kamala?
