Narendra Modi calls for promotion of Sanskrit language and rich knowledge and culture buried in ancient texts

Ahmedabad, Tuesday: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today called for research in synthesis of priceless Sanskrit language with modern science and promotion of the ancient treasure buried in the past for the welfare of the society.

Speaking at a function to mark presentation of awards to Sanskrit scholars at Gandhinagar, he said that Sanskrit is one of the richest languages of the world. It has the inherent strength for emotional integration of people and influence the society. Sanskrit is the most scientific and computer savvy language for transliteration.

He said that Government of Gujarat has undertaken several steps for greater application of Sanskrit. This cultural function is one of such steps.

Mr. Modi said a treasure trove of scriptures and valuables documents written in Sanskrit remain buried due to 1,200 years of slavery. The language developed 1,200 years earlier still holds good. He said that Vedic Mathematics finds acceptance in modern Europe, but so-called secularists in India feel ashamed of chanting Sanskrit. Our seers, saints and ancestors have compiled and collated priceless knowledge of the Vedic period about the then lifestyle and its link with economic activities. It is high time we should dig them out.

He said that Sanskrit has the power of synthesis of ancient and modern sciences. Astrology of the Vedic period is widely accepted as part of Sanskrit literature even today. The concept of space, universe and planets were defined thousands of years earlier but is still valid. Sanskrit and archaeology have also a close link.

A grand cultural programme in Sanskrit on the occasion of Asadhasya Pratham Divase, Tridalam-2012, was jointly organized by Gujarat Government’s Sanskrit Sahitya Academy and Sanskrit Bharati.

The Chief Minister presented ‘Sanskrit Gaurav Puraskar’ to Jayanand Dayalji Shukla, Bhagwatlal Bhanuprasad Shuklaand Indravadan Bhanushankar Bhatt, besides Lakshmesh Vallabhji Joshi and Mihir Pradeep Upadhyay were honoured with Gaurav Pursalar of Rs. one lakh and Rs.50,000 respectively.

Earlier, Youth Services & Cultural Activities Secretary Bhagyesh Jha presented a detailed account of different schemes of the government for the promotion and publicity of Sanskrit language and rich literature in the state. Somnath Sanskrit University Vice-Chancellor Vempatty Kutumbshastri also had a word of praise.

Prominent among those present there include Cultural Activities Minister Fakir Vaghela, Gandhinagar Guardian Minister Jaysinhji Chauhan and Shri Girishbhai Thakar.

  • drrupeshpandey June 21, 2012 To find the words for praise is not difficult but to find the right word for this awesome act of recognition by CM Modi is relentless. One thing I can comfortably say that only Mr. Modi could do this and only Mr. Modi could have such vision to engage in these great deed of recognizing our dying culture, history and all its pillars. Some times just the thought shakes me that these great souls who spent their entire life learning the vedas a vast majority live in oblivion. I am glad one leader is there who not just paid attention rather took time to extend his recognition towards all these ladies and gentleman who are almost on verge of extinction.
  • Ajithkumar Chandramouli June 21, 2012 Keeping politics aside, it is the need of the hour to educate people about our culture and heritage.

    Lord Macaulay’s speech in the British Parliament on 2nd February 1835.

    “I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.”

    Despite getting independence we still have the slavery mindset. If not for people like Modiji, we would eternally be slaves.
