Hare Krsna. Vande Gurun. The following is an announcement that should be of interest to all Vaisnavas. The Sanskriti Bharati Society is a world-wide educational movement that is attempting to revive Sanskrit as a spoken language. In less that two decades, this organization has taught several hundred-thousand people to carry out daily conversations in Sanskrit.

 

In India, they have created several entire villages in which the residents speak nothing but Sanskrit to each other as their primary means of daily communication. Please help to revive the language of Krsna by attending this wonderful nine day camp. There will be Sanskrit classes for people on every level - from those who have never even known one letter of Devanagari, to those who have been studying Sanskrit for years. Below are all of the details. Take care, all!

 

Your Servant,

 

Pranakrsna dasa
