    I'd rather worship the sausage roll thanks. Full of all sorts of Gods goodies that don't meet the standard of being sold as is, and mighty tasty too! Glory be to the consumer of sausage rolls!

    Prahbudda came to New York in 1905 or something, and started ISKON (International Society for Krsna Conciousness).

    I reckon he did alright.

    Did he have twelve dollars in his pocket? These stories have a truth there somewhere.

    Srila Prubhupada came to America with $7 in his pocket and a typewriter and one copy of Srimad Bhagavatam which he had translated from Sanskrit to English.

    The typewriter was stolen in the first month.

    On the boat over he had 3 heart attacks.

    After he arrived he translated and wrote over 80 books.

    His translations are the best in the world and recognized by all Sanskrit scholars.

    Sanskrit is the mother of all language,s and all languages have their roots in Sanskrit.

    Over time the world will come to understand that Srila Prubhupada was the greatest man to ever exist in modern times.

    Where do you get this stuff from? Two thoughts immediately came to mind when I read your statement.

    Firstly, I immediately thought of the Celtic languages and found that they are classified higher up the language tree than Sanskrit, albeit on a different branch. Reference :
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/IndoEuropeanTree.svg
    ...and as you can see there are many other languages that you have neglected.

    Secondly, a South African friend tried to teach me phrases in the Xhosa click language - are you seriously suggesting Sanskrit was the mother language of Xhosa????

    At this point my BS detector has gone off the dial. Who is being dishonest now???

    It's because the dishonest scientists have analyzed languages and concluded many languages have no link to Sanskrit whatsoever. They did this because of the dishonest reason that there is zero evidence of this.

    The same outdated, racist theories that gave us the modern meaning of the word "Aryan" (and "Caucasian", for that matter).

    Not kidding. And yes, these theories were already outdated by the start of the 1900s.

    Maybe one the 100 greatest "known" people in the last 100years. Maybe. Still pretty good. He faced great adversity.

    As for Sanskrit being the mother of all languages you need only go into the country to discover a myriad of aborigonal languages that had nothing to do with Sanksrit.

    I wonder what strange forces were at work to help him in this seemingly crazy quest?(which is a relative success from what I can see around me)

    Dialects are dialects and language is language.

    Sanskrit is the first language to ever be spoken by civilised man.

    Tribes isolated from civilization develop their own dialects.

    It is a perfect language requiring great leaning to master.

    In Vedic times it was mastered by the Brahman,s

    You can see how far they lean now.
