Om Shri Narayana Namaha !
“What is the Gita about ?
Is it passive , or does it instigate one to be aggressive ?
It does neither of two !
The Bhagavat Gita says;
Dynamism With Calmness !
{ HH . HH. Sri Sri Ravi Shanker }
Sanskrit is a language of purity . It is an ancient language which is yet alive . Marking it’s importance , Bhavans had included Sanskrit as a main subject. This language is taught to students ranging from classes 5 to 10 .
This imperial language is taught by two prominent scholars Mr . Sunil Menonkumar and by Mr . Balaji at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan .There are lot’s of students learning Sanskrit at Bhavans .
