श्लोक स्पर्धा २०१५
अप्रिल मासे २५ दिने सनातन धर्म केन्द्रे श्लोकस्पर्धा सम्यक् अभवत् | अस्मिन वर्षे श्री भर्तृहरे: नीतिशतकात् उद्धृत कानिचन श्लोकानि बालका: कण्ठस्थिकृत्य स्वरलयसहित शुद्धउच्चारणेन प्रदर्शितवन्त: | हे उत्सुकछात्रा:, कस्यचित् कालानन्तरम् प्राय: संपूर्णसुभाषितं वक्तुं विस्मरणं भवेयु: | तथापि तेषां अर्थान् सदा मनसि एव स्थापयन्तु, कदापि न विस्मरन्तु | जीवने आवश्यकं मार्गदर्शक: भवति | पुन: अभिनन्दनानि ! Shloka Spardha was conducted on Apr 25, 2015 in Sanatana Dharma Kendra. Shlokas were chosen from Bhartuhari's Neetishatakam. They were rendered excellently by the children with clear diction and chandas. Although it is possible to forget the recitation of the Subhashitas over the course of time, please do remember their meaning always. Values taught in these shlokas will certainly guide you in your life. Congratulations! |
Value of Pi
I learnt yesterday from my students that it was "Pi" day. And incidentally, we were in our class right around the "Pi" time - 3/14/15 9:26AM (3.1415926). I am restating some relevant shlokAs related to history of Pi and saMskRutaM. Something for us to learn and ponder about the wonder of the language and the depth of intellectual knowledge that pervaded back then. Source: wikipedia [1] Aryabhata worked on the approximation for pi ( Here is a beautiful shlokA about kRuShNaH (written by Swami BharatItIrthaH [2]) गोपी भाग्य मधुव्रात शृङ्गीशोदधिसन्धिग | खलजीवति खाताव गलहालारसन्धर || But then, use KATAPAYAADI SamkhyA [3] to decipher above shlokA, you get value of Pi upto 31 decimals!
We will leave that part of deriving 31 digits of Pi as an exercise. ~ BK Teachers References [2] Science in Sanskrit, Published by SamskritaBharati |

गीता जयन्ती
Dec २१ तमे गीता जयन्ती कार्यक्रमं श्रीकृष्णमन्दिरे सम्यक् प्रचलितवति | हरि महोदय: तदनन्तरं अधोलिखित इ-संदेशं प्रेषितवान् |
"नमस्सर्वेभ्यः
भानुवासरे गीताजयन्तीकार्यक्रमे सर्वे सोत्साहं भागं स्वीकुतवन्तः तदर्थम् अनेके धन्यवादाः| अस्माकं बालानां प्रदर्शनम् अतीव रमणीयम् आसीत्| तेषाम् अभ्युत्साहेन "संस्कृतभाषा - न केवलं मृदुला अपि च सरला" इति बोधितवन्तः| एतस्य कारणं न केवलं एते बाला: तेषां मतपितृणां प्रोत्साहनं समर्थनं च| तेभ्यः अस्माकं कृतज्ञतां दर्शयामः| भवन्तः कार्यक्रमस्य चित्रमुद्रणं अत्र द्रष्टुं शक्नुवन्ति (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQc30FBU-8U)|
यथा गोविन्दमहोदयः सूचितवान अस्मिन वर्षे संस्कृतभारत्याः विंशतितम: वर्षः| एतस्य कृते अपि वयं सोत्साहं कार्यक्रमान रचयामः दर्शयामः च| ये अस्मिन कार्यक्रमे भागं न स्वीकृतवन्तः ते अपि आगमनसमये भागं स्वीकुर्वन्ति इति आशामहे| " On Sunday, gItAjayantI was conducted with a lot of enthusiasm. Our children also presented the song and skit beautifully. They should us by example that SamsKrutaM is not just a melodious language but easy to learn as well. We didn't have too much time between deciding the skit/song and the event itself. Children (and of course parents), deserve a lot of credit for making this event a success - Very Well Done! As Govinda mahodaya stated, this year marks 20th year of SB in USA. We will surely have other programs to make this milestone memorable. We sincerely hope that children who missed participating in gItAjayanthI can join us in future events along with parents' volunteering to make the events a success. |
