[t'venkatam] Fwd: Reading Sanskrit Improves Brain Functioning

[Guest guest]

Respected Sir:

 

For those of you who may be interested. In Chennai in Mandaveli there is a

silent revolution going on under the aegis of 'Vedavani'. This is run by

Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram. Here Sanskrit is used to actually for both

experiemental as well as a therapeutic.

 

This writer has witnessed firsthand considerable improvements, especially

in spastic and disabled children. Lisping, drooling and related disorders

show remarkable changes for the better.

 

You may also enrol with Shri Shripad Deshmukh - he is marked on this email.

Our friend is running a e@sanskrit group on the net and it is too good

to miss.

Dear Bhagavatas:

Looks incredible!

It would be helpful if Sri Ramacghandran could provide details on how "Reading

Sanskrit" could effect "improvements, especially

in spastic and disabled children. Lisping, drooling and related disorders" and

also some concrete instances for verification. Of course, this can be given in

private mails for guarding privacy of those concerned. After a thorough

investigation, we can publicize this feat for the benefit of similarly placed

individuals.
