Sahitya

Sahitya

The combination of word and meaning is called Sahitya. The acts of public welfare poets are called Sahitya. The word “hit” is proved after adding the suffix “kta” to the verb “dudhān” to take the form of nutrition, “dadhaterhi” by this formula of Panini ji. Hiten sah sahitam, tasya bhaavah sahityam, vyutpatti labhya sahitya, meaning is derived from the word ‘sahitya dhaaran swaroop’, as stated by sages. Whose public interest is not accomplished by the words of poets like Vyas, Valmiki and Kalidas etc., just like the common man rejoices by getting the sweet juice present in the grapes. In the same way, by receiving the sweet speeches of those great poets as a part of Bhagavad, human beings appreciate their fortune by feeling happy and listening to and relishing the sweet speech of those great poets, the sorrows of many have been destroyed and their welfare has been done, for the devotees of Sahitya. Nothing is difficult to achieve, Sahitya is not only public interest but Sahitya is also the mirror of the society. A person who is devoted to Sahitya can gain knowledge of the whole world even though he is located in one country. Due to Sahitya being a ritual, there is a natural tendency of people in reading. In other scriptures, the effort of the intellect is more, but due to the lack of difficulty in the Sahitya, there is an unintended tendency of the people. That’s why Sahitya, being popular, beneficial and providing all-round effort, is always worth consuming.
