Event Summary

Although a majority of the works of the much revered oriental philosophy has been compiled in Sanskrit, a language pretty much defined like an algorithm in 4000 rules by Panini, its relevance in modern world is much talked about.

Please join DESI (Develop, Empower and Synergize India) and UMD Samskritum in welcoming Sri Cha. Mu. Krishna Shastry to hear about 'why sanskrit in modern world'.

Mr. Shastri is a founding member of Samskrit Bharati, an organization dedicated to bringing sanskrit back to the main stream. He will share with us his experience of how a small initiative, started with a few friends, grew to become a huge educational institution with over 10,000 teachers & reaching out to nearly 4 million people.

He is also known for his unique & unconventional style of lecture delivery. His talks are mostly in sanskrit, but absolute strangers to sanskrit walk out with total understanding of the subject matter.

You have to experience it to believe it.
