Sanskrit is not only a language, but the reservoir of knowledge, say experts

Educationist Prof. Dr. Vidyanath Koirala has expressed the view that Sanskrit is not only a language, but a vas reservoir of knowledge. The facts that the Earth is round and it revolves around the Sun, which possesses gravitational power, were known to our ancestors thousands of years before the modern scientists claimed to have discovered them, according to Prof. Koirala.
