To
rejuvinate our Culture, rebuild our Nation and
revolutionize the World, revival of Sanskrit is the need of hour,
strongly opinioned, Sri LV Subramanyam, the TTD Executive Officer.
Addressing
the valedictory function of the 10-day Spoken Sanskrit workshop organised by
Sanskrita Bharati in TTD-run Dharmagiri Vedapathasala at Tirumala on Wednesday
he said the entire vedic studies are scripted in this divine, classical
language of Hinduism, which is often considered to be the oldest and the most
systematic language in the world. He complimented Chilkur Balaji Temple's Dr.MV
Sounder Rajan and also the organiser and
President of Sanskrita Bharati Purvandhra Wing Sri Dorbala Prabhakara Sharma
for their initiative in conducting ten-day workshop in spoken sanskrit. The EO
also said, TTD will henceforth organise such workshops for every six months to
inculcate the habit of spoken sanskrit among the Vedic students.
He appreciated
the students who performed stage acts in Sanskrit on various social subjects
like Farming, Law and Order, Jewelry-vegetable-cloth business etc. He called
upon the students to learn the language with dedication to bring back past
glory to the "Mother of Languages".
He said, Sanskrit is built on a basis of Vedic and the Prakrits, but has
a much more complex grammar. It has an
immense vocabulary and a very adaptable grammar , so that words can be grouped together to
express any nuance of an idea. "One can easily learn English but should
totally involve oneself to learn Sanskrit. The
long philosophical and grammatical tradition that has continued to exist
with undiminished vigor until the present century is the beauty of the divine
language. To continue its legacy to future generations every child studying in
TTD run vedic institutions should master in spoken language which will be
helpful not only for them but also for the future of the country", he
maintained.
The meeting
was also attended by Higher Vedic Studies project officer, Sri Sriramamurthy,
Vedapathasala Principal Sri Avadhani, renowned sanskrit scholars Sri
Tirumalacharya, Sri Kripalu, Sri Narasimhcharya, Sri Subramanya Sharma, staff
and students.
