Morris Albert - Fellings (Tribute to)







भाव (bhAva)
The word भाव (bhAva) in Sanskrit has multiple shades of expression.
It can range from feelings, emotions,sentiment to intuition.
भाव (bhAva) does not stem from the sensory input of the body.
It stems from the heart, the seat of emotions.

Now how does भाव (bhAva) help in learning Sanskrit?
Yes it does!

Many a times when we learn Sanskrit we tend to focus on perfection as the word संस्कृतम्  itself means perfected.
But perfection need not be sans a heart.

This is where I recommend भाव (bhAva).
भाव (bhAva) is like a sixth sense where it takes learning to a different level where it goes beyond words.
By making learning only through the 5 senses it doesn't cater to every type of human.
Some humans are visually challenged, some have hearing disorders..does that mean they should not enjoy learning?
What about a person who is mentally challenged or even having a mental disorder? How does he learn?

Yes he can! He can learn through feelings भाव (bhAva).
भाव (bhAva) cuts through the physical body and transforms one's heart and confers wisdom.

Have you ever seen a dancer expressing all 9 emotions without saying a word?
So do you always need perfection to learn?
No you don't.

Have भाव (bhAva) in your hearts, learn to emote beyond words and भक्ति(bhakti) will help you understand विभक्ति(vibhakti)(grammar)
