Once we know what makes us really happy, guiltless happy, we should do it as often as possible. As Krishna said in Bhagavadgita, we should just do our karma, never with any expectations. Do the work for the pleasure of it.
So day 1 was searching for online lessons for Latin and Sanskrit? Why two languages at a time? Because when I opened Latin lessons, I realized how much it resembles Sanskrit. At least the grammar part. So google for online Sanskrit lessons.
But I am still puzzled over the fact that why people wanted to learn Sanskrit? ( I have heard that people used to learn Hindi just to read the book Chandrakanta) So that they can write books in it, or so that they can read and understand veda, upanishad and vedanta etc. But that is as bad as saying that you know the alphabets of some language, so you can read and understand one of its largest epics.
Anyways people learnt it and left us some great works to read and enjoy. Little had they realized, as civilization reaches its peak, people would only read sub titles of silly soaps or status updates in social networks.
You people know me, estimate and tell me. If I learn 1 lesson each day, how long it will take me to understand at least Bhagavat Gita? Do I see a scornful smile? So be it. I am not doing this anybody. I am learning it, because learning is something I enjoy very much.
So far I have learnt that in both these languages, verbs and nouns change according to subject. Like gachchati for third person, gachchaami for first person and so on. So you don't have to say "I go" "अहम् गच्छामि ". गच्छामि itself means I go. compact language. Eh?
And one funny thing in Sanskrit is there are three types instead of two - singular and plural. (in kannada ekavachana and bahuvachana). ekavachana, dvivachana, and bahuvachana.
