Samskrit classrooms and Seshaachaarryulu

Best school in vijayawada- This afternoon I happened to watch 'Gyan Dharshan' program telecast by the Educational Broadcasting Division of our National TV. It was a Samskrit language class for high school students. Though I am not well versed in the language, I like the language very much and follow the contents to whatever extent possible, because the language evokes a spiritual feeling in me.

As any good classroom, this classroom also consisted of interested children and a dedicated teacher engaged in meaningful interactions (unlike in most school classroom settings in which curricular subjects are taught with the only aim of achieving `marks' in the `Board exams').

But paradoxically, when students answered their teacher's questions, they did so without following the most fundamental manners of getting up from their seats.

This problem is not due to the teacher or the taught; it is due to media personnel who are not qualified to assess classroom quality from a proper perspective.

I think that stakeholders involved in production of such programs should ensure that all requirements of quality are met before our local programs are aired.

The best language teacher (and a poet) whom I have ever met is Mr. Seshaachaaryulu (fondly known as `Thitta Kavi'). He taught Telugu and Samskrit at a high school where I also worked. Whenever he taught Sanskrit, his classes sounded like temples.

I remember quality rich Friday evenings which I spent with this nice gentleman at his home (located a few kilometers away from Vijayawada) and the unexplainable joy which I derived by having the Darshan of deities in the Sree Rama temple, puja activities of which I think, are performed by him or by his male relatives.

I also remember his taking me to visit nearby Kondapalli village, known for its traditional hand made dolls. It is also an unforgettable experience.
