Parents of high schoolers in the US: please encourage your children to take Sanskrit instead of Spanish/ French etc. for the Foreign Language requirement. You can get school credit and 'good karma' both :)

Say the Word and you'll be free!

The 2030s and after will belong to those in the key of Sanskrita/Life.

[Vaidika Bharata Global Foundation @VishveVedAh]

Acharya @vvaayu took blessings for @vaidikabharata Gurukula Goshala, from Mahamahopadhyaya Pushpa Dikshita, fondly called as Mataji by her hundreds of students. She was quite proud of what all has been achieved by her shishya and gave Ashirvada for future successes.
She is a doyen of Sanskrit Vyakarana, perhaps the greatest of past several centuries, on the basis of making Panini accessible with much lesser efforts compared to earlier approaches.
Even at the age of 84, she runs her Gurukula (in her own home, as it should be), at great personal costs, where any Hindu can come, stay, and learn directly from her, for free.

[MDS Sanskrit College @sanskrit1906]

The Madras Sanskrit College (MSC) is embarking on a bold new chapter! Since 1906, we have been a cornerstone of Sanskrit education. After decades of partnership under various government schemes, MSC has made the strategic decision to return to its roots as a private, self-financing institution.

This transition allows us to stay true to our mission while evolving for the modern world. Here is what’s changing:

Preserving Tradition: We remain deeply committed to the traditional study of the Shastras.

Modern Innovation: Our brand-new, progressive curriculum integrates ancient wisdom with cutting-edge technology.

Future-Ready Students: Students will now gain expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS), and manuscript decoding.

Career Empowerment: We are training the next generation of IKS teachers and equipping students with the skills needed to thrive in today’s job market.

"The students are the main beneficiaries of this move."

This journey is made possible by the generous support of individuals and corporates dedicated to preserving our rich cultural heritage. We are excited to empower our students with a unique blend of heritage and high-tech skills!

How Can 'Bhaktha Samajams' Envisaged In Telugu States Play A Role In Temple Governance (https://t.co/tF9cZqXDlH)

The Telugu states already have a law that lets devotees shape temple life through Bhaktha Samajams.

If implemented, they can turn temples from state-run institutions into living communities of faith, accountability, and Dharma.

Delivered Vakyartha at Shastra Sadas presided over by Jagadguru Shankaracharya at Sringeri Shankar Mutt, Nallakunta - the same sacred place where I played as a child. From doing pradakshinas during playtime to this moment... Devi's grace is everything.

Between Dharmic Roots And The Melting Pot: The Indian-American Dilemma (https://t.co/AHGZYklBKx)

As the H-1B tide ebbs and generations blend into America’s cultural mainstream, the Indian-American identity stands at a crossroads — torn between inherited dharma and inevitable assimilation, between nostalgia and the need to belong.

Bharat’s Past, Bharat’s Future: How Public History Can Shape A Civilisational Renaissance (https://t.co/pZk7tAKQ7o)

As India charts its path toward Viksit Bharat 2047, preserving, interpreting, and experiencing historical sites could bridge the gap between the nation’s past and future, creating intellectual, economic, and spiritual growth for generations to come.

[Srinivas Jammalamadaka @jamvasu]

Yesterday, I joined a key meeting with Gurukula heads across Bharat, led by Prof. Shrinivas Varakhedi ji at CSU, New Delhi. We discussed ways to strengthen the Gurukula system while preserving sampradaya, resulting in actionable points for the future.

Andhra Pradesh tableau in this Republic Day parade will feature the Etikopakka toys. A small village around 60 km from Vizag, it's famous for these toys made out of the wood of the Ankudu tree, and uses natural dyes. These lightweight toys are often given as gifts too.
