There was a Time when Sanskrit was almost forgotten. Nobody cared to learn the language. Now, thanks to the Hinduttva wave, there is an interest in Sanskrit. Many have turned to Sanskrit greetings for various occasions. Good, commendable.
Let Us Go Back to the Times of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The term “Hindu” did not exist then. We were not divided as we now are, both geographically and Dharma-cally (just coined a new word). We all were people of the planet, the Earth People. We revered Mother Nature. We respected the forces and elements of Nature.
