Samskrita Bharati USA

Samskrita Bharati USA Samskrita Bharati, a non-profit organization, is primarily dedicated to the mission of popularizing Sanskrit as a spoken language.

Moving beyond veneration of Sanskrit as a classical or exotic language, Samskrita Bharati seeks to make this a contemporary language whose everyday usage becomes customary and widespread. This goal is being gradually realized with steady progress in the escalating numbers of Sanskrit speakers globally, increase in Sanskrit speaking families worldwide, and even a rise in Sanskrit spoken villages in India. Such preliminary success has served as a powerful catalyst to effect further change, and initiate a potent cultural renaissance movement. As a language, Sanskrit is the cultural backbone of India. It holds the key to India's timeless, rich, cultural heritage. Knowledge of Sanskrit opens new vistas in areas such as Indian philosophy, yoga, ayurveda, mathematics, etc. By restoring Sanskrit to its rightful place in the cultural legacy of India, it is believed that the fate of India's cultural heritage will also be secured. Besides being a treasure trove of knowledge, Sanskrit has the power to unify India. The language of Sanskrit holds no boundaries. The appeal is widespread across people from all walks of life, different generations, religious backgrounds, and regional affiliations. Samskrita Bharati is a 501-(c)-(3) non-profit organization. The latest letter from IRS regarding Samskrita Bharati's non-profit status is available.

यद्यपि भारतदेशः शक्तिप्रधानस्तथापि बह्व्यः सन्ति भ्रान्तयः शाक्तपरम्परामधिकृत्य। तत्र कौलाचारविषये वामाचारादिविषये प्रायो जनावितृष्णायुताः। परन्तु ते प्रायो न जानन्ति शङ्कराचार्योऽपि भगवान्मातरमन्नपूर्णां प्रति शरणागतः, स च श्रीविद्याया महान् साधकः। तत्रशाङ्करमठेषु श्रीविद्याविषयमवलम्ब्य पूजार्चनादिप्रचलनमद्यापि चलत्येव। तत्रकथनमस्ति नेपालदेशेऽपि कश्चन शङ्कराचार्यो गतवान् पशुपतिपूजाविधौ श्रीविद्यापूजाप्रचलनम् अपि अस्थापयदिति। तमेव शाक्तदर्शनमवलम्ब्य स्वकीयरचनां श्रीविद्याहृदयं भवत्समक्षे प्रस्तौमि। श्रीविद्याहृदयं नाम त्रिशती। अनुष्टुप्छन्दबद्धोऽयं ग्रन्थः। अयं शाक्तदर्शनस्य समग्रमपि संक्षेपेण त्रिपुरासुन्दर्युपासामाध्यमेन प्रस्तौति।
