I have been stdying the Brhad Yogavaashistam (which my mother has translated to simple English) in the original Sanskrit under her guidance (also helps her proofread). I've got about 60% through since 2020, reading about 10 to 15 verses a day - it isn't a book to read pages at a time even if the Sanskrit is reasonably understandable.

Sanskrit changes the way your brain works as much as Vedanta itself does. The primary purpose of Sanskrit itself is seen as a way for the knowledge of the self to be expressed to the human world.

Its very hard to not accept that this language and the texts were revealed rather than created.
