STUDY OF veD IN sNskRUt
LANGUAGE IS LIFE-KEY FOR
PVAF VOLUNTEERS AND NON-VOLUNTEERS
Since 1996 at PVAF, there are many volunteers and
non-volunteers who have been studying veD =
SCIENCES OF CREATION AND LIFE in order to really understand their
own individual self and his/her own relationship with all other creations...
This search called
aatmaa-GNaan meaning KNOWING ONESELF
has helped each of these students of veD
in finding and then pursuing his/her own path based on TRUE
KNOWLEDGE....to prosper in life in a non-conflicting manner
harmonious manner based on the rules and regulations of
DHARm.....
And the bonus to PVAF has been selfless and
DHARmik volunteers and donors who
have done miracles with the blessing of veD
knowledge in establishing and continually expanding the
PVAF GUJRAAT EDUCATION PROGRAM (PVAF GEP)
which has in 4 years given a chance to 7 students to have their university
education which will give each one of the students and their families a
breakout of generational poverty....
And in January 2005 these PVAF
volunteers are processing 10 more students who could be helped to get
their university education through PVAF GEP....
One of the amazing facts these PVAF volunteers and
non-volunteers who study veD at
PVAF have discovered is that they have to learn
sNskRUt language to really understand
veD...and they are learning
sNskRUt language at PVAF.....The meaning of volunteering
through sNskRUt language learning
have given a new life perspective and volunteering perspective to these
learners... |

In order to improve the condition of Sanskrit Pathshalas, a state level
committee has been constituted to give suggestions in this regard. The committee
will study the present condition, curriculum, teaching method, inspection and
supervision system, distribution of scholarship and availability of Information
Technology and suggest measures to improve them in these Pathshalas
For bringing about qualitative improvement in Sanskrit teaching, an orientation
programme is being implemented for Sanskrit teachers in the state of Madhya
Pradesh.
It may be mentioned that the State Government is making special efforts to give
an impetus to Sanskrit learning in the state.
Moreover, a book entitled Sanskrit Bhasha Shikshanam has been published to
facilitate training to the Sanskrit teachers. Besides, 100 teachers/lecturers
from each district of the state would undergo training to develop their skill of
Sanskrit teaching through Sanskrit medium.
The Madhya Pradesh Sanskrit Board has fixed a target to impart training to five
thousand Sanskrit teachers of the state. Over 500 Sanskrit schools of
conventional ancient system are being conducted in the state. Of these, 70
schools are being run under the School Education Department and Tribal Welfare
Department, ten under the Higher Education Department. Under the first phase of
the Sanskrit Paathshala Modernisation Scheme, arrangements are being made for
library and teaching of subjects including English, mathematics, science, social
science in the government Sanskrit schools.

Madhya Pradesh, in its present form,
came
into existence on November 1,2000 following its bifurcation to
create a new state of Chhattisgarh.The undivided Madhya Pradesh was
founded on November 1, 1956.Madhya Pradesh, because of its central
location in India, has remained a crucible of historical currents from
North, South, East and West. |

Paleolithic, Mesolithic,
Neolithic, Chalcolithic and Iron Age Cultures have flourished in the state
along Narmada Valley and other river valleys. Rich archaeological wealth has
been unearthed in various parts of the state throwing light on its history.
Evidences of earliest human settlements have been found in Bhimbethika and
other places of Raisen district. Over 600 rock shelters have been discovered
in Bhimbethika. About 500 caves have rock paintings, which depict the life
of pre-historic cave-dwellers. Sanchi in Raisen district is a world renowned
Buddhist centre known for
its stupas, monuments, temples and pillars dating from 3rd century B.C. to
12th century A.D. The most famous Sanchi stupa was built by the Mauryan
Emperor Ashoka, then governor of Ujjain. Bhojpur, in the same district is
famous for its incomplete but marvelous Shiva temple, built by legendary
Parmar King of Dhar, Raja Bhoj (1010-53).Khajuraho in Chhatarpur district is
renowned the world over for its unique temples. Built by Chandela rulers
from 950-1050 A.D., in a truly inspired burst of creativity these temples
are a unique gift to the world. Orchha in Tikamgarh district is a medieval
legacy in stone built by Bundela rulers in the 16th and 17th centuries. This
land is hallowed by the memories of the great warrior Chhatrasal who
illumined the pages of history by his heroic deeds.Madhya Pradesh has a
number of important pilgrimage centres. While Ujjain and Omkareshwar have
special significance due to Shrines having two of the twelve jyotirlingas,
Maheshwar, Mandleshwar, Amarkantak, Hoshangabad are also important in their
own rights.
Madhya Pradesh has produced great men and women who are held in high esteem
due to their great deeds. India's immortal poet-dramatist Kalidas belonged
to Ujjain and great musician Tansen to Gwalior. Bravery of great women like
Durgawati, Avantibai, Kamlapati and Devi Ahilya Bai is inscribed in golden
letters in history.In the freedom struggle, many movements were successfully
launched in Madhya Pradesh coinciding with the Non-Cooperation Movement and
Quit India Movement. Flag Satyagraha of Jabalpur in 1923, Salt Satyagraha of
1930 in Jabalpur and Jangle Satyagraha started by tribals are the notable
movements. Almost all parts of the state were active in freedom struggle,
though at different times.
