Quoting the Ishavasya Upanishad - ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णश्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
Meaning – “Om, that (visible outer world) is full,
This (invisible inner world) is also full,
From fullness comes that fullness,
Taking fullness from fullness, fullness indeed remains,
Om, shanti, shanti, shanti.”
The philosophy of the above shlok is the backbone of the entire Vedic literature. Veda precisely means ‘knowledge’, deriving from the Sanskrit root ‘vid’ meaning ‘to know, to see or to cognize.’ Vedic wisdom is considered to be the most ancient of all living traditions of spiritual and practical knowledge.
Divya Jyoti Ved Mandir (DJVM), established under the blessings and guidance of our revered Gurudev Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, aims to help navigate through the vast Vedic knowledge gifted ato us by our sages. We often find ourselves turning to time-tested practices and ceremonies, preserving and perfecting traditions. The result of these efforts is to coalesce our ancient knowledge by developing the practice of fluently using Sanskrit language in our daily lives.
In light of this, Sanskrit Sambhashan Shivir was conducted from 16th – 27th May, 2022 and 74 students enrolled for the virtual classes. Learning Sanskrit is synonymous with value education as well as drives a wholesome cognitive development. Students thoroughly enjoyed the exploration of phonetics and linguistic nature of the language via interactive presentations. By attending online Sanskrit classes organised by DJVM, children felt it reduced the ambiguity while studying at school and improves their ability to build better language skills.
