Speak Sanskrit

``Hari Om! Swagatam, Aagatchatu" - traditional greetings in Sanskrit welcomes you at the Samskrita Bharati (28472632) in Mylapore, an All India Organisation that spearheaded the Speak Samskrit Movement in 1981.

The organisation, (in their preceding activities to Sanskrit Day to be celebrated on Sravana Poornima Day - August 19) has started its next batch of the `free-10-day-2-hour' spoken Sanskrit classes (Dasa Dina Samkrita Sambhashana Shibiram) at 100 centres simultaneously in Chennai from August 4.

``Propagation and preservation of `our culture, our tradition, our language' is the only motto of this non-commercial organisation," say Samskrita Bharati State Secretary and Sanskrit Professor, R. Ramachandran, and full-time volunteer of the Chennai Chapter, Jyothish. The association has 1,000 voluntary teachers and an army of volunteers in Tamil Nadu alone.
