Raksha Bandhan --------- Sanskrit day

On This Rakshabandhan ,Sanskrit Day was observed throughout Maharashtra as usual.i remember on this occasion i used to deliver lecture during my graduation days on the specialities of Sanskrit Language and its wonder.Now i think we have to be more  conscious about this Language.One of My Friend Shreedhar Kamble has given me the Autobiography Of Dr.Ambedkar compiled by Shankarrao Kharat. This is One of the Most influential Book i ever read. In this book Dr.Ambedkar observed and said  i Quote   ...............

"Sanskrit is very good language and I am proud of it.By  little  practice i m now able to read and write it.i Want to learn it.."

Whatever is the reason this language has passed its golden days.Some scholars assert that it is a dead language.
i am totally convinced that its wrong.As last year's Dnyanpeeth Award which is supposed to be very precious in literature has confered upon Dr.Satyvrat Shastri for his magnificient poetry in sanskrit..
This itself is living truth that sanskrit is not dead language.
Here are some Practical Suggesstions to rejuvenate the state of Sanskrit Language.

1)We have to think sanskrit as language only not a religious entity,because in sanskrit we find Shankaracharya as well as Charvaka  also,certain amount of Buddhist writing is also in Sanskrit.How Language can be relilgious ..

2)we should delve deep in to the ocean of Sanskrit as it not only contain Vedas,Upanishadas,Geeta but it has scientific scriptures also.For Example Shulbasutras of Bodhayana tells about Pythagoras Theorem which is told by him before 2000 years before Pythagorus.

3)This language can excel and improve our pronounciation ,memory and freshness.

4)We  need a lobby of Scientists to Study Sanskrit Text to uncover the hidden wisdom of its science as hundreds of books and manuscripts are in thr dire needy condition .

5)We need joint institutes of sanskrit and science like IIT Pawai Where Dr.Malhar Kulkarni ,a noted grammarian of Sanskrit works for this purpose.

6)Be out of the prejudice that it is the language of Brahmins..Thr reality is that not mich Brahmins know it .

7)Sanskrit Bharati is the organization which works for welfare of sanskrit ,so we can prescribe for their Monthly magazine Sambhashan Sandesh,...
Let us  be cheerful  and look for positive points to tevive Sanskrit.
happy Sanskrit Day  and Happy Rakshabandhan ..

some gazals by Suresh Bhat

"
चंद्र आता मावळाया लागला
प्राण माझाही ढळाया लागला
काय तो वेडा इथेही बोलला
हा शहाणाही चळाया लागला?
हाक दाराने मला जेव्हा दिली
उंबरा मागे वळाया लागला
 "

 ''
बेरका होता दिलासा मानभावी धीर होता
पाठ राखायास माझी लाघवी खंजीर होता
मी जरी हासून आता बोलतो आहे ऋतूंशी
ऐन तारुण्यात माझा चेहरा गंभीर होता 
"
 these are some excellent gazal quotations from the web site Marathi gazal ;ek akhand maiphal.
