With the Benign Blessings of Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peetham, Summer Samskrtia Camp for children commenced on 7th May 2011 during the Mahotsavam of Sri Shankara Jayanti. Thirty children registered for the camp and within a short span of 15 days they learnt without any book or paper, Prarthana Slokas, Ganesha Pancha Ratnam, Sharada Bhujangam, etc.

Concluding day function was held on Saturday, 21st May 2011 and children recited before the public whatever they learnt.

After the summer camp, regular classes for slokas , learning samskritam, stories of great saints, etc will be be held on all sundays between 9 amd and 10 am throughout the year.

Photos taken on the concluding day are in the gallery below.

Just as in this body, the embodied one passes through boyhood, youth, and old age, so does one pass into another body. With reference to this (birth, aging and death), the wise man is not disturbed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
An object continues to be dear as long as one derives pleasure from it and it is detested for the duration that it causes pain. The same object cannot be always liked or disliked. Sometimes, that which is not dear may become dear. Moreover, that which was loveable can turn unpleasant. The Atma, towards which affection never wanes, is always the most beloved. Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Shatashloki
Blessings are the monopoly of God and we must all pray for his gracious blessings. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
It is pitiful that when many of us are asked, “who are you?”, The first thought that arises is “I am a Keralite”, or “I am a Punjabi”, etc. The thought that should immediately stem is “I am an Indian”. If people first feel that they are Indians and only then think of divisions, the nation will have great prosperity and the divisive forces will not be operative as they are today. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
Instead of using the tongue for speaking futile issues, use it to chant the names of God. God shall then guide you along the right and beneficial path. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
