Hi, The mother of all Indian languages, Sanskrit seems to be losing its place in the modern world. But Mambalam Samskrita Vidyalaya, (a FREE sanskrit institution imparting the knowledge of this classical language to everyone without having any differences in age, sex, caste etc) is one of the few institutions keeping the ancient language alive. Mambalam Samskrita Vidyalaya, started in the year 1955, is entering into its 50th year. This institution was founded by octogenarian founder-principal, O.R.Rajagopalachariar, who considers Sanskrit as his breath. Interestingly, many sishyas who studied under him are working as Sanskrit professors in all leading colleges. There are many sishyas from varied professions like lawyers, Doctors, engineers, IAS officers..who are still studying under him. Here this sanskrit school even conducts the VAGVARDHINI SABHA every Saturday to help students discuss in Sanskrit and share their views. This institution coaches students for the Chittoor Samskrita Basha pracharini sabha. Totally 6 examinations are there. Exams are conducted on an half-yearly basis. FYI, Kovida(5th examination) is equivalent to BA degree and Vidyabhooshana(6th exam) is equivalent to MA degree. At the end of the course, what the students can boast of is the vast knowledge that they have gained. Now the institution has entered into Golden Jubilee year. They have planned a year long celebrations and the final celebrations will be held during January 2005. All the three sons of Rajagopalachariar swami have inherited their father's love for the language and apparently have a very good flair for it. At a time, when college and school admissions come for a price, here's a man who believes in imparting knowledge free.
