Sanskrit language and the Yoga as we know are two very essential elements of Indian culture. Sanskrit is the language spoken by the Gods and Yoga is way to relate oneself to the God. This Indian culture has been there in India for millions of year but still we can observe that Europeans and Americans are rather more interested than Indians. There are many major universities which offer Sanskrit as a subject and it is popular among countries like Germany, Russia, US. You might come up with a few Germans speaking Sanskrit rather than Indians. It is seen that Indians are trying to adapt to the western culture while the westerns are taking all the good from Indian culture.
Yoga has become a very popular way of physical and mental health in foreign countries. People in India are going more and more for gyms and new modern equipments while foreigners are staying healthy by just simple postures and meditation as shown in the Hindu philosophy. Also the Sanskrit language is regarded as mother of all languages and is one of the most ancient languages on the earth.
It is a bad thing that Indians don’t realize that what they want is already available and still they are searching outside their house to find it and are completely ignoring it. It is important that Indians, especially the youth, realize that how good the Indian culture is and realize that how smart Americans and British are to take all the good stuff for their benefit while we Indians just watch until we realize the truth.
