Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3otjd Sanskrit Bharati Reviving the mother of all languages >From Our Correspondent Sanskrit Bharati is a voluntary movement to bring about social change by practising Sanskrit language in day-to-day life. It was formed in 1981 in Bangalore, Karnataka. It is driven by a clear vision of bringing Sanskrit back to life as the spoken language of the Indians. It teaches a unique method to learn Sanskrit within 10 days (two hours per day) through simple spoken Sanskrit course (Sanskrit Sambhashana Sibiram). Sanskrit Bharati nurtures the belief that the revival of Sanskrit is the only means for bringing harmony among people, for rejuvenating our cultural ideals and for a progressive restructuring of the society. It has the capacity to unite not only India but the whole world. During the course, the teachers and students speak no other language than Sanskrit. The classes are made interesting and interactive through songs, stories, word games, oral drills, etc. People from different languages, religions and communities learn and speak Sanskrit with ease and confidence. Besides a band of dedicated teachers, it also conducts an all-India network of full-time volunteers. It also organises a number of activities—Sanskrit Prashikshan Vargaha (instructors' training), Poornakalika Prashikshanam (full-time workers’ training), Sandhyakala Vidyalaya (evening school for Sanskrit) and Balakendram. The practical experience of Sanskrit Bharati in teaching Sanskrit to villagers shows that it is the best way of breaking traditional caste and social barriers. People from the so-called ‘lower castes’ also welcome opportunities to learn Sanskrit. Bharati nurtures the belief that the revival of Sanskrit is the only means for bringing harmony among people, for rejuvenating our cultural ideals and for a progressive restructuring of the society. Sanskrit Bharati officials have revealed that about one million people have attended the ‘Speak Sanskrit’ camps so far; over a lakh have learnt Sanskrit through the correspondence course and over fifty thousand teachers have been trained. It has been publishing Sambhashana Sandesha on contemporary topics for over 10 years now with readership drawn from many countries.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 As Sanskrit is the Mother of all languages I really don't think .......... > Sanskrit is the only means for bringing harmony >among people it is the only means there. All languages belongs to the One and what is important is what comes from the heart no matter what language is spoken. Is a mother who has children more important than the children themselves or are the children just a reflection of the mother and are just as important? When we look at something as being more important then we lose sight of that which may not be important but in the end is of more importance then what one thinks is more important. There are many many languages throughout the Universe but each and everything is connected like a spider's web to one and everything. What matters is what springs from the heart for THAT is what makes our soul grow. Namasté Alexander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I've been going for the Sanskrit classes conducted by Samskrita Bharati for the last 5 days and have 4 more days to go in the Level 1 course. It's been great - the instructor refused to speak English for the first 4 days and so we picked up really fast ! Our group of 10 people can now converse easily regarding day to day things in Sanskrit and can also tell simple stories. They have classes all over N.America and if one comes to your neighbourhood I would suggest that "Bhavaan sheegram gachathu! " (you go quickly!) for it. No knowledge of Devanagri script is required - it's a speaking-only course.
