I want to know, has anyone so far undertaken the task of translating Greek/Roman classics into Sanskrit, for example Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Metamorphoses, Republic, Meditations etc ?
I think these should be translated not just into Sanskrit but all the major Indian languages.
It is indeed shameful that many Hindus think (even some so called "Hindutva" ones) that xtians brought "civilization" to Europe when infact the above literature shows that they did the opposite, also disgusting that Jesus is called a "yogi" by many Hindu luminaries when in fact the great Marcus Aurelius would any day come more closer to being a yogi than Jesus as we know him could.
