AZADI KA AMRIT MAHOTSAV

Sanskrit is the most ancient language of the world. It is the storehouse

of knowledge and is an unsurpassed and the most invaluable treasure of the world.
This language is a true symbol of the great Indian tradition and thought, which has
exhibited full freedom in the search of truth and has shown catholicity towards
universal truth. This unique language contains not only good account of wisdom
for the people of this country, but it is also an unparalleled and right way to acquire
proper knowledge and is thus significant for the people of entire world.

C-DAC Patna staunchly believes in developing and strengthening both culture and
modernity alike. Giving a wider vision to this very thought and emotion we
thought of incorporating the Sanskrit Language in this mission.

Activity Detail:
1. Sanskrit: The Notion of Infinity

Sanskrit is a language of unrivaled richness and purity. Whenever we direct our

attention to the Sanskrit literature the notion of infinity presents itself. Its
unequalled transparency of structure gives Sanskrit the undisputable right to the
first place amongst the tongues of the Indo-European family. Trying to keep the
legacy of the language high we are going to talk about how Sanskrit as a language
has changed and affected the ways of scholars, it would be a great initiative to
introduce the same within ourselves, inculcating not only the heritage importance
but also the extra dimensions the amalgamation of culture and newness can add.
2. Socialize in Sanskrit & Shlok Recitation in Sanskrit

This day we will have a short session where the interested members may
give an introduction. The introduction will be in Sanskrit, a small ‘Myself’
recitation.
The second half of the session will be ‘Shlok Recitation’ In this session the
interested participants may recite a shlok in Sanskrit that has impacted the
most in their life, a shlok that they can relate to the most or a shlok that
motivated them in the most difficult of times.

3. Read Me an Epic

On this day, the participants may read an excerpt from any epic of their
choice. A favorite part of the epic/ the part that interested them the most/
the part that motivated and moved them the most, the participants may chose
according to their preference.

4. Self-Prepared Speech in Sanskrit (any topic)

The participants may choose any topic of their choice and give a short
recitation of the same in Sanskrit. The topic can be from any genre or object
of your liking. The speech has to be short and need not be made very
lengthy.

5. Story Telling of Panchatantra in Sanskrit

We have all grown up listening to the stories of Panchatantra, some parables,

some fun stuff, some emotional ones, but all of it whenever recalled, stirs the
best memories of childhood. We may try to revive those moments but in its
original flavor, that is Sanskrit. The participants may choose their favorite
story and recite them in Sanskrit.
