Love of language binds Sanskrit gold medallists

Bangalore: If you thought there would be no takers for
Sanskrit at the graduate and post-graduate level, sample
this - 166 students have enrolled in the master's degree
programme at Karnataka Samskrit University and 249 are
pursuing the degree programme. Of the 166 students, nine
bagged gold medals on Friday, during the convocation
ceremony of the 2011-13 batch.
Gowri Hegde is the only girl to bag the gold medal and
the only one to achieve the feat in Alankar Shashtra, her
specialization. When asked why she chose to study Alankar
Shastra, she says, "Sanskrit is the mother of all Indian
languages. Both my parents are familiar with it. I had to
pick from Kannada, English and Sanskrit but I chose to
learn the root of all languages, which was an exciting
thing to do."
Hedge belongs to Honnavar in Udupi district and her
father is an agriculturist. Her dream is to be a Sanskrit
teacher. "Though there are fewer job opportunities in our
field as compared to other languages, the best option for
a Sanskrit student is to teach the language," she added.
Contrary to Hedge's opinion, Nagendra Pawan RN sees a
huge opportunity in research work in the field of
linguistics. "I have grown up amid Sanskrit culture,
although I knew nothing about the language and its roots
in my childhood. When my father asked me to study
Sanskrit in college, I took it up. Now I realize that it
was the right thing to do. Job opportunities may be few,
but research in linguistics is a great field to work in,"
he told TOI. He is a gold medallist in Vyakaran Shastra.
Nagendra's friend, Vijayananda Adiga B wants to be an
astrologer. His father and father are astrologers by
profession. "I was destined to become an astrologer. My
father and Dr Kottemane Ramkrishna inspired me to learn
Sanskrit. I will pursue a PhD in Jyotish Shastra."
Other gold medallists, Srikrishna Bhat (Poorvaneemamsa
Shastra), Bhimsena Gopalachar Guttal (Nyaya Shastra),
Mahesh G Bhatt (Krishna Yejur Veda Shastra) and Naveen
Bhatt S (Advaitha Vedanta Shastra) are already working in
PUC schools or Gurukulams as Sanskrit teachers. Their
fathers are either priests or astrologers but they want
to preach the language among city students.
History of the varsity
Karnataka Samskrit University was set up in 2010 by the
state government under the Directorate of Samskrit
Education. The varsity has two constitutional colleges -
Chamarajendra Samskrit College in Chamarajpet, Bangalore
and Mysore Samskrit College. It has 28 other affiliated
colleges across Karnataka.
The government has identified 100 acres of land for the
varsity in Kuduru hobli, Magadi taluk. The directorate
includes 354 recognized Sanskrit pathashalas in the
state. The undergraduate programme comprises 17 Shastras
and the PG course has 16 Shastras. The vice-chancellor
announced during the convocation that PhD programmes will
be started from this academic year.

"Shastra, she says, "Sanskrit is the mother of all Indian languages."
well to study linguistics that she might not repeat this error.
Of the 200 or so languages of india only a few originate from sanskrit.
A few years past the all india sanskrit top student was a young muslim
woman.
