Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Dear All: For Your Information. A friend sent it to me . V.Sadagopan My Experience with Sanskrit Scholars President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam narrated : "I have come across two great teachers, one in the primary school and another in the St. Joseph's College. My primary school teacher Sri Sivasubramanya Iyer was a great Sanskrit scholar apart from being my science teacher. Everyday he used to perform Sandhya Vandanam three times a day and Bhagavatam. My college teacher Prof Thothathri Iyengar who taught me complex numbers and number theory was also a Sanskrit scholar. While the base of these two great teachers was science and mathematics, their life was shaped by the ancient wisdom of Sanskrit scholarship. Recently, I have come across a great scholar Dr MA Lakshmi Tathachar has been carrying out intensive research in Sanskrit including the agriculture using organic farming. Such is the richness of Sanskrit and I am happy that Sanskrit Vidyapeetam is preserving and nurturing this great language." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
