Quote:Namaskaarams to all!





I visited the just concluded World Sanskrit Book Fair at Bangalore and went around the fair on all the four days. It was amazing to find that many samskrita enthusiasts, and especially, youngsters of all colours and bearings!





I experienced some problems which I am sure almost many would vouchsafe. Hopefully, the concerned authorities will look into it and try to minimize it if not wipe it altogether :





1. The area for the Book stalls was undoubtedly small considering the huge turn outs on all the four days. Perhaps the organizers wouldn't have expected such a large attendance.



2. The book stalls where the publishers had displayed their books were congested. A larger stall size will be an eye-catcher.





3. The passage area being narrow there was invariably push-arounds all the time. You could not see the books properly, let alone decide to buy them. There was literally shoulder-clash everywhere.





4. Even the people who bought the books, were seen just bundling their choice without bothering about their utility vis-a-vis their knowledge levels. You practically had no time to decide.





5. I thought the crowd may be less in the evening hours when there was manoranjan karyakrama. But alas, I had no luck that time also.





6. The only day I could somewhat freely move about was the last day. Bad luck here again! The stalls wore an empty look, most of the books having been sold out.





7. Some of the book sellers and publishers I talked to, especially, Sarawathy Mahal Library of Tanjore, and Parimal publications, had openly admitted that they did not anticipate such crowds and had brought only few samples of books.



8. The Exhibition was an eye opener for any proud Indian! How wide the eyes and mouth of the school children and college students opened, perhaps their hearts too, you should have been there to believe!





9. The rest room facilities, of course, could have been better. But given the temporary nature of arrangements, it was the best. The Green Buckets could have been more and maintenance still left much to be desired!





10. Finally, the Indian Motherhood was at its best! What I mean the food arrangements for the delegates and visitors, couldn't have been better! ( Do we not equate 'Anna Dhata' with the Motherhood?)





On the whole, we had a sense of seeing the Real Bharat!





Three cheers to Samskrita Bharati! You have won the hearts of one and all!





A Proud Indian

Quote:Sanskrit University to come up in Magadi

Last updated: 25 May, 2011

Bangalore,



The State government has zeroed in on Magadi taluk in Ramanagara district to set up the campus for Sanskrit university.



The State Cabinet, which is meeting on Thursday, is likely to approve 100-acres of land in Thippasandra village in Magadi taluk for setting up the university.



There are 14 Sanskrit colleges in the State, which are affiliated to the university. At present, the university is functioning on the campus of the Sri Chamarajendra Sanskrit College in Bangalore.



Ramanagara district will have two universities with the government having taken a decision to shift the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) from Bangalore to Ramanagara.



An official said there was no significance in Magadi being chosen to house the Sanskrit university campus.



The revenue department had agreed to provide land for the campus, he added.

Other decisions that are likely to be taken by the Cabinet include reimbursement of fee of Rs 10,000 to unaided engineering, architecture colleges where poor meritorious students were admitted for undergraduate courses as per consensual agreement 2010-11.



The Cabinet is likely to approve revised AICTE pay scale to teaching staff of government ayurveda, unani and homeopathy medical colleges



The Cabinet is also likely to give administrative approval for providing water supply to Byagadi town and enroute villages from Tungabhadra river at a cost of Rs 28.05 crore and also give approval for providing water supply to Sagar town and enroute villages from backwaters of Sharavathi river at a cost of Rs 54 crore.

Govt. to close down Sanskrit college



Nagesh Prabhu



Inadequate number of students cited as the main reason for the move

(Oh, a secular sounding reason! Christos in India and the christowest as well as alien dabblers/oryanists keep their efforts invisible.)



END OF THE LINE: Chamarajendra Sanskrit College in Bangalore — Photo: Sampath Kumar G.P.



BANGALORE: There appears to be few to speak up for the cause of Sanskrit. The Government has decided to close down one of the very few Sanskrit colleges it runs in the State, Sri Chamarajendra Sanskrit College at Chamarajpet in Bangalore.



For decades the college has been imparting knowledge of the ancient Vedas and Shastras. But today there is a fall in the number of takers for the courses offered by the college. However, the number of students in the college is not inconsiderable considering that there are a good number of departments in universities in the State with fewer than 10 students in the MA or M.Sc. courses.

(Can note how there is no pretence in India's traditional=native Skt colleges that Samskritam is somehow separate from the Vedam/Shaastras, i.e. Vedic religion. <- This observation of the well-known is relevant to subsequent posts.

Rather, a separation btw Skt and the Vedic=Hindoo religion is a deliberate and recent invention of christoism AND alien dabblers - with indologists occurring in both groups - not to mention western foreign policy on India. It's also the source for denying Hinduism/Vedic religion is a religion and denying the word Hindu. Then again, that's something Buddhists and Jains do a lot too today. They only acknowledge "brahmanism" and deny there is a Hindoo laity or a religion - the Hindoo=Vedic religion/Sanatana Dharma etc - that all Hindoos adhere too, regardless of whether they are laity or brahmana or non-brahmana Siddha, Sadhu, Yogi or other Vedic yati/shramana.)



So far the only organisation to protest against the move to close down the institution is Sanskrit Bharati.



The college, founded in 1940 by the then Dewan of Mysore, Sir Mirza Ismail**, offers courses in the Vedas and the Shastras. About 190 students are on its rolls and it has 29 members of the staff. The Government's move to close down the college or merge it with Sri Maharaja Sanskrit College, Mysore, has come as a shock to the staff and received a lot of flak from Sanskrit scholars.

(** Note at end)



The Education Department discussed the issue of closing down the college at a meting held recently. The inadequate number of students for the various courses offered in by college is cited as the main reason for the Government's move.



The contribution of the college in the field of Sanskrit education is quite significant. Sri Balagangadharanath Swamy of Adichunchanagiri Mutt, Sri Shantaveera Mahaswamy of Kolada Mutt, Sri Shivarudra Swamy of Beli Mutt, Sri Shivapuri Swamy of Omkara Mutt, and scholars such as Srinivas Gopalacharya, Vidwan Ranganath Sharma and Vidwan N.T. Srinivas Iyengar were students of the college.



The college has invited applications for admissions for the current year. The Principal, B.L. Manjunath, says the college offers Prathama (three-year), Kavya (two-year), Sahitya (three-year) and Vidwat (five-year) courses. The Rigveda, Krishna Yajurveda, Shukla Yajurveda and Samaveda are taught in the college. There is no age bar or admission fee. Candidates who do not have any formal education can also join the preliminary classes.



A Vidwat course is equivalent to an MA degree. Unfortunately, there is no Government Order recognising the degrees provided by the college.



Satyanarayana Bhat of Sanskrit Bharati says the Government should set up a Sanskrit Directorate or Sanskrit University to give an identity to Sanskrit courses.



The 65-year-old college building requires major repairs and renovation. But it does not receive funds to maintain the building. The infrastructure is inadequate and this will have an adverse impact on the overall academic environment, say staff members.



A couple of years ago, a proposal was prepared for the construction of a hostel but no action has been taken, Mr. Bhat says.





Scholarships



The Government provides scholarships for students. But the amount is meagre: Rs. 47 for students of the Prathama course, Rs. 50 for the Kavya course and Rs. 150 for the Vidwat course.

(Can see how christoterrorism in India deliberately murdered the Skt school by giving pennies as "scholarship".)



To attract more students, the Government should provide facilities such as computer education and a good library the teachers say.

Quote:The college, founded in 1940 by the then Dewan of Mysore, Sir Mirza Ismail,

Quote:Sri Chamarajendra Samskrita Graduation and Post Graduation Centre is one of the oldest Sanskrit colleges in the state. It was established as 'Vaani Vidyashaalaa' in 1885, with the collaboration of the Education department and many Sanskrit lovers. It used to impart education in Alankara, Veda, Yoga and various shaastras. It was renamed as 'Vaani Sanskrit College' in 1889, and an administrative council was set up to ensure availability of better facilities for study. The college got a new building, and a new name as 'Sri Chamarajendra Sanskrit College' in 1896. It developed with the monetary help received from the Mysore court, and also various mutts.

Quote:Sanskrit fever grips Germany: 14 universities teaching India's ancient language struggle to meet demand as students clamour for courses



By Aditya Ghosh



Published: 22:24 GMT, 14 April 2015 | Updated: 22:24 GMT, 14 April 2015



Will Germans be the eventual custodians of Sanskrit, its rich heritage and culture? If the demand for Sanskrit and Indology courses in Germany is any indication, that’s what the future looks like.

(So writes the useful idiot Indian "Aditya Ghosh" with pride. Again, look how Sanskrit has its own culture now, devoid of its religion - even in the mouth of an Indian proud of it being stolen by the mlecchas, even as they are very busy murdering Samskritam and its intimate connections to Hindoo heathenism in India. E.g. the effects can be seen in news item #1 above.)



Unable to cope with the flood of applications from around the world, the South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg, had to start a summer school in spoken Sanskrit in Switzerland, Italy and - believe it or not - India too.



(Now the alien demons have started planting their IE poisons in Skt education in India.

People really should investigate if there is a direct proportional relationship btw an increase in indological=alien skt/'Vedic' text education in India and the decrease in traditional=Vaidika skt education in India like closing of Hindoo Skt colleges imparting the Veda. I am certain the relationship exists.)



"When we started it 15 years ago, we were almost ready to shut it after a couple of years. Instead, we had to increase strength and take the course to other European countries," said Professor Dr. Axel Michaels, head of classical Indology at the university.



[photo caption:] The summer school in spoken Sanskrit at the South Asia Institute, University of Heidelberg, is attended by students from all over the world

(Photo of useful idiot Indian traitor teaching mlecchas Samskritam in Germany - the same mlecchas who openly declare, even in this very same article, how anti-Hindu they are, including denying Samskritam's inseparable connection to Hindoo heathenism.)



In Germany, 14 of the top universities teach Sanskrit, classical and modern Indology compared to just four in the UK. The summer school spans a month in August every year and draws applications from across the globe.



“So far, 254 students from 34 countries have participated in this course. Every year we have to reject many applications,” said Dr. Michaels.



Apart from Germany, the majority of students come from the US, Italy, the UK and the rest of Europe.



[photo caption:] Professor Dr. Axel Michaels, Head of Classical Indology at the University of Heidelberg, says students from 34 countries have taken the course



Linking Sanskrit with religion and a certain political ideology was "stupid" and "detrimental to the cause" of its rich heritage, the professor said.



"Even the core thoughts of Buddhism were in the Sanskrit language. To better understand the genesis of oriental philosophy, history, languages, sciences and culture, it’s essential to read the original Sanskrit texts as these are some of the earliest thoughts and discoveries," he added.



(Note how the mlecchas - eager to acquire samskritam, as they are the Vedam - deny that Samskritam is associated with "religion". They won't name the religion of course. Indologists insist it does not exist, after all. They will name Buddhism naturally, and will use it to pretend all religions should have an equal claim on Skt.



Anti-Hindoo-ism is also seen in how they allude - without naming it - to "a certain political ideology". I.e. Hindu nationalism. It is left unnamed because it has the word "Hindu" in it. Not only are Hindus allowing these anti-Hindu alien demons to "learn" Skt, to let aliens steal it for themselves - the SAME people are busy killing Hindu heathenism in India, closing down Veda pathashalas and Skt colleges in India and fighting "Hindu nationalism" - Indians are even teaching the alien demons. A great many are indologists, others are dabblers. All - being encroachers - are terrorists against Hindoo=Vedic religion. But stupid modern "Hindu" Indians will be so proud.



BTW, many core thoughts of Buddhism are in some Prakrita and originally in Prakrita. So the claim "Even the core thoughts of Buddhism were in the Sanskrit language" is untrue unless it means all such core Buddhist thoughts were eventually translated into Skt. In any case, Skt was never Buddhism's language, no more than the fact that christian missionaries who had earlier penned the babble in Skt, and recent Indian christos having created christo stutterings "jeebus sahasranamam etc" in Skt, makes Samskritam an "equally" christian language.)





Francesca Lunari, a medical student who has been studying Sanskrit at Heidelberg University, agreed.



"I am interested in psychoanalysis and must know how human thoughts originated through texts, cultures and societies. I will learn Bangla also to decipher the seminal works of Girindra Sekhar Bose, a pioneer of oriental psychiatry who has hardly been studied – even in India. Learning Sanskrit is the first step," she said.



Languages such as Bangla, in which Bose had written his theories challenging Freud, might face a crisis similar to Sanskrit because of the onslaught of English if these languages aren’t preserved within households, felt Dr Hans Harder, head of the department of modern South Asian languages and literatures (modern Indology), Heidelberg University.



"A significant part of the global cultural heritage will become extinct if major languages like Hindi and Bangla fall prey to Indian English which, in the process, has only got poorer," he added.

(Like I said: modern Indians, dumping their mother tongues to focus exclusively on English, are not just becoming monolingual, but are also - as aliens to have noticed - 3rd world at the one language they have adopted. And regardless of that, they will forever be 2nd place in it: it's not their language after all. Anyway, I already made 2 huge post about this many years ago in one of the Indic languages thread. I have nothing to add to my arguments there. They were already complete then, IIRC.)



An expert in Bangla, Hindi and Urdu apart from European languages, Harder cautioned against such a disaster as more upwardly mobile families stop teaching their own language to their children.



Studying ethno-Indology helps contextualise and link subjects to ancient texts.



"One can better understand evolution of politics and economics by studying Arthashastra by Chanakya," said Dr. Michaels.

(IE-ists will next claim Chanakya/Arthashastra for Oryanism, the way IE-ist Victor Mair claimed Sun Tsu/Art of War.)



So this semester the institute is offering a course on ‘human physiology and psychology in the early Upanishads’ by Anand Mishra, an IIT mathematics graduate who took up the study of Sanskrit for his research on evolving a more grammatically suitable computing language.



[photo caption:] PM Narendra Modi with German Chancellor Angela Merkel



"Working on Panini’s Sanskrit grammar, I realised it could be a great tool in computing language," said Mishra.



Dr. Michaels feels that instead of indulging in a political and religious debate, Indians should try to preserve their heritage.

("Skt is mere heritage" not a living religious language, just a "world heritage" secular language, for now still allowed to be "Indian". Even though it is an exclusively ethnic-Hindoo language.)



"Don’t we conserve a rare, old painting or sculpture? This is a live language…and rich cultural heritage which might become the casualty of neglect just as great civilisations like Hampi, the art of Ajanta and temples of Konark got buried in oblivion. It was up to the British to discover them later. Sanskrit, along with its culture, philosophy and science might become similarly extinct," he claimed, adding: "On the other hand, [size="6"]there is so much yet to discover through Sanskrit...details of Indus Valley civilisation, for example."[/size]

(1. Can see how mlecchas have been hard at work reinventing how "Skt" has its "own culture, philosophy and science". And that it specifically does not have a religion - not allowed to. I.e. Skt - and its "culture, philosophy and science" are now made secular, having been separated - by sleight of hand/sophistry - from its inseparable heathenism. As what happened with hellenismos under the same alien - christo and christo-conditioned - hands. But the "culture, philosophy and science" in Skt IS and is OF Vedic religion onlee.



2. The large sized text appears to be yet more admission by the mleccha demons - Dhu had found damning evidence, I wonder when he will make his discovery public at last - that mlecchas know full well that the Indus Valley Civilisation IS Vedic and that the Vedam was not only revealed within India to the intuition of Rishis, but that aliens already know that the Vedam in India predates or is at least co-eval with the IVC.)



Germany has already been a storehouse of Sanskrit scholars to the world.



"The majority of Sanskrit scholars, including those at Harvard, California Berkeley and the UK, are Germans," he said.



But why?



"Probably because we never colonised India and maintained a romantic view about it," quipped Dr. Michaels.

(No. The reason is because - as seen in the post on the Brokpa in the Unmasking AIT thread - because Germany is still Oryanist. And because they still deeply believe, but so do many E Europeans/Russians, no less than many Brits/AmriKKKans etc, that they are Oryans and Skt [and all things Vedic] belongs to them. It is indologists' Only personal reason for indology.

Similarly, Victor Mair's IE-encroachment on China - the Indo-Europeanising of sinology - is Exclusively because Mair wants to pretend to himself and others that all that is astounding about ancient Chinese heathen civilisation and heathenism derives from PIE/Victor Mair's imaginary Oryan ancestors.)

In China, a rediscovery of Sanskrit

Ananth Krishnan

The Sanskrit programme at Peking University has a long history, set up in the 1960s and subsequently expanded by renowned Indologist Ji Xianlin, who translated dozens of works



Almost two millennia after the language first came to China through Buddhist scriptures, renewed interest in Buddhist studies and recent discoveries of long-forgotten manuscripts in Tibet have sparked a revival of the study of the ancient language among Chinese scholars.



Beijing’s Peking University has now launched an ambitious programme to train more than 60 Chinese students in Sanskrit, with the hope of creating a team of researchers to help translate hundreds of manuscripts containing scriptures that have been found in Tibet and other centres of Buddhism, such as Hangzhou in China’s east.



“There is a rich manuscript collection in Tibet, particularly. Many of the originals have not been recovered, and are only available in Chinese and Tibetan, so it is important for us to find a way to render them back into Sanskrit,” said Satyavrat Shastri, a renowned New Delhi-based Sanskrit scholar and poet, who is in Beijing this week as a visiting lecturer to meet and advise students and teachers here.



“What they are trying to do here is invaluable, and they are making great progress,” Mr. Shastri said, adding that he was pleasantly surprised by the students’ technical level.



“I was struck by the interest, of both teachers and scholars, in little details, such as getting the pronunciation perfect. They recited the Bhagavad Gita with me, and it was a unique experience. The pronunciation, the metre [of reciting the verses], was remarkable.”

(Yeah, well. E Asians are - unlike the encroaching thieving mleccha demons - naturally good at a lot of heathen stuff. It's 'cause they have heathen ancestry or are still heathen.)



The Sanskrit programme at Peking University has a long history, set up in the 1960s and subsequently expanded by renowned Indologist Ji Xianlin, who translated dozens of works and is seen by many here as single-handedly introducing classical Indian culture to a whole generation of Chinese.



Today, the programme hopes to carry forward the legacy of Ji, who died in 2009.



The university’s efforts received a boost in 2005, when it was given support by the Ministry of Education to expand admissions, part of an effort to boost manuscript research.



Now, for the first time, the programme has a regular annual intake of students at both undergraduate and post-graduate levels, currently training between 50 and 60 students.



“We want to continue what Ji Xianlin started,” said Duan Qing, a professor in Sanskrit and Pali who once trained under Ji. “Our programme is quite mature now, and is the only complete Sanskrit programme in China.”



She attributed the recent boost in funding to increasing government support for the humanities, ignored during the People’s Republic’s first three decades when the country’s focus was on development alone.



“Sanskrit research is being viewed with importance now,” she said. “India and China were culturally connected. I don’t think there’s another country in the world where so many Sanskrit works were translated into another language, and this has been going on for more 1,000 years.”



Ms. Duan heads the Research Institute of Sanskrit Manuscripts and Buddhist Literature at Peking University, which is working with regional governments and hoping to create an archive for lost manuscripts and palm-leaves. Graduate students will work with the institute to help translate scriptures.



Yu Huaijin, a PhD student who is studying Kalidasa’s Kumarasambhava, said she joined the programme because she believed it was playing the role of “a bridge between two cultures.”



“India and China are neighbours, but they know little about each other, especially the younger generation. It is a big objective for me to introduce Indian culture and literature to a Chinese audience,” she said.



Few Chinese students are interested in Indian culture, with much greater interest in Western literature. Ms. Yu, too, was first a student of Western literature — until she happened to read a translation of the Mahabharata by Ji Xianlin. “It was a different world,” she said. “And one that few Chinese are aware of.”



Peking University has also begun working with Sanskrit programmes in universities in the West, particularly in Germany, to improve both teaching methods and archiving practices.

(I wish the Chinese would work with Hindoo universities, not with the mleccha demons. It's already a great pity that the Japanese "Indology" depts work with the alien demons from the west. Oh well. what will happen will happen I suppose.

But either way, E Asians studying Skt need to realise that MBh, the Gita and Kalidasa/Kumarasambhava - texts mentioned by Ms Yu above - are all exclusively Hindoo=Vedic religion, and not remotely Buddhist or something.)



Indian universities, have however, appeared to show little interest in taking forward cooperation. Mr. Shastri, who is an honorary professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University, admitted there was “precious little” cooperation between the two countries. There was room for much more, he said, encouraged by the positive response to his teaching methods this past week.



“We want to learn Sanskrit through traditional methods,” one teacher told him. “Not from the West.”

India's largest, oldest press printing Gita shuts shop



December 18, 2014



India'a most authentic, biggest, trusted and sustained connect for the Hindu devout with its rich past of religious literature is faced with a strike and indefinite closure. Headquartered in eastern Uttar Pradesh and publishing religious works since 1923, the Gita Press has shut down indefinitely owing to labour unrest.



The indefinite closure comes at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been gifting the Gita to foreign leaders and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj has pitched for declaring it a "national scripture".



Gita Press, a unit of Gobind Bhawan Karyalaya registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 (presently governed by the West Bengal Societies Act, 1960) began as an initiative to "promote and spread the principles of Sanatana Dharma, the Hindu religion among the general public by publishing the Gita, Ramayana, Upanishads, Puranas, discourses of eminent Saints and other character-building books and magazines and marketing them at highly subsidised prices," a member of the management told IANS, speaking on condition of anonymity.



Ruing the decision to close down the press, located in Gorakhpur district, the official said three employees - Virendra Singh, Ram Jeevan Sharma and Munivar Mishra - have also been dismissed for instigating fellow employees.



"Information about the dismissal of these employees and of the indefinite closure has been communicated to the district administration, the police and the state's labour department" the official further informed.



Over the years, the institution has made available more than 370 million copies of the Gita, Ramayan, Bhagvat, Durga Saptashati, Puranas, Upanishads, Bhakta-Gathas and other character-building books in Sanskrit, Hindi, English, Gujarati, Tamil, Marathi, Bangla, Oriya, Telugu, Kannada, and other Indian regional languages at low cost.



"Kalyan" in Hindi, with 300,000 subscribers and "Kalyana-Kalpataru" in English, the monthly publications of the institution, are counted among the country's most subscribed religious magazines and are preserved for their rich content.



Shrimad Bhagvad Gita in different editions has sold nearly 115 million copies, Shri Ramcharitamanas and other works by Goswami Tulsidas 92.2 million, Puranas, Upanishads and ancient scriptures 22.7 million, small books especially for women and children 105.5 million and books on Bhakta-Gathas (biographies of saints) and Bhajans (devotional songs) 124.4 million.



Overall, 582. 5 million copies of Gita Press publications have so far come out.



An employee leader, while pointing out that to go on strike was a painful decision, accused the management of being autocratic and indifferent to their demands.



"We demanded a 10 percent hike in our wages every year, 30 days of paid leave and 20 percent house rent allowance," the leader said, adding that the workers had struck work in 1982 and the standoff continued for 44 days.

• one compiled along with a great many other stotras and tantra mantras by a very learned vedabrahmana long deceased who used all these including Dharmashaastaa's sahasranaamam for his ritual practice (and hence he won't get it wrong),
  
  
• one published in recent decades by a Hindoo publication associated with a Hindoo temple in TN,
  
  
• and I think one published turn of last century (the 19th to 20th century cusp) in Tamizh Grantha [scanned].
