About the Sanskrit Language
Sanskrit is the Indian equivalent to Latin. Despite of being a few thousand years old it provides an an amazingly systematic alphabet, grammar and pronounciation system. It is considered to be a sacred language and most of the philosophical texts India have been composed in it.
Very often these texts have a meter (exact number of syllables etc.) because studying them hast always meant learning them by heart first.
