They will make you fall in love with the language and the Indian culture
We all look up quotes and phrases for our daily motivation and inspiration. Sure, there are ample English ones we come across that resonate well with what might be going through.
But Sanskrit has an exotic charm of its own. Here are some which have not only inspired me in my tough times, but they truly make me proud of belonging to the land from where the language originated, aka India.
