SRI RAM I AGREE WITH ALL THE BHAGAVATHAS. MY HUMBLE PRANAAMS AT THE LOTUS FEET OF SRI U.VE. RAJA GOPALACHARIAR SWAMI FOR TEACHING SANSKRIT - FREE. HATS OFF TO SUCH A GREAT SOUL WHO ILLUMINATES OUR BHARATAVARSHA. IT IS SAD TO NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF SANSKRIT SCHOLARS, FEW OF THEM IMPART THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO OTHERS.UDAYAVAR SAMPRADAYAM MEANS- IMPARTING THE DIVINE KNOWLEDGE TO OTHERS. I HOPE AT LEAST FROM NOW, SOME OF HIS DISCIPLES WOULD OPEN SUCH FREE EDUCATION SCHOOLS AND SPREAD SANSKRIT AND HENCE THE GLORY OF BHARATAVARSHA. ONCE AGAIN PRANAAMS AT THE LOTUS FEET OF SRI U.VE.RAJAGOPALACHARIAR SWAMY DAASAN MUKUNDAN. (POTRI UGAPPADUM PUNDIYIR KOLVADUM, ...- SWAMI DESIKAN) --- "N.S.
