Our tagline for this year, 'मेधामञ्जरी अनन्ता', carries profound symbolic significance:
'मञ्जरी' refers to the delicate and sacred inflorescence of the Tulsi plant, revered in Indian tradition. These blossoms signify purity, auspiciousness, and the potential for flourishing growth. 'मेधा' is धारणाशक्ती, retention and expression of wisdom. Hence, 'मेधामञ्जरी' means perennial blossom of मेधा. 'अनन्ता' means eternal,signifying the perpetual and relevance of this wisdom across. Together, 'मेधामञ्जरी अनन्ता' symbolizes the eternal blooming of wisdom - a garland of enlightenment that blossoms continuously through the verses of Geeta.
Through this year's theme, ध्रुवा-संस्कृत-महोत्सवः invites participants to immerse themselves in the sacred verses of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta - to explore its philosophical depth, poetic grace, and practical teachings. Whether through shloka recitation, creative interpretations, discussions, we aspire to foster a renewed connection with this divine scripture through the lens of Sanskrit.
