BasrurSanskrit Sambhashan Shibir, ShiraliThe Sanskrit Sambhashan Shibir, held at ShriChitrapur Math, Shirali, from January 23-26, <strong>2010</strong>,drew an enthusiastic response from shibhirarthis,aged 7 to 70 years, divided into four groups –Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha. Startingwith the melodious ‘Girvaana Pratishthaa Geet -Jayati jayati Geervaani Saraswati tu rasavati…’, theshibhirarthis heard the inspiring song, ‘RachayemSanskrit Bhavanam’ followed by an explanation<strong>of</strong> its meaning as to how this “Sanskrit Mansion”(Sanskrit Bhavanam) is to be constructed.The skillful use <strong>of</strong> simple teaching methodssupplemented by course material containing thebasic language, grammar and meanings <strong>of</strong> words/sentences used in day-to-day conversation,successfully met the aims <strong>of</strong> the Shibir.
