Welcome to samskrutam.com.

On SAMSKRUTAM portal the "guestbook" has remained an important medium of communication enabling us receive feedback from readers and act on the same; and it will remain so for days to come.

In the spirit of open and ease communication, for long, the moderation process was suppressed, so that readers' posts appear immediately in the guestbook. Unfortunately, it has been observed that spammers keep posting unsolicited and inappropriate posts; which not only drowns the genuine feedback from readers, but also degrades the sanctity of the SAMSKRUTAM online platform.

To safeguard against such unwelcome entries getting automatically posted, we are re-activating the moderation process. With this, readers may experience a gap of a day or two before their entries are visible in the guestbook.

Please do continue sharing your feedback through this guestbook and email sanskrit@samskrutam.com, as you have been over the years.

SAMSKRUTAM is in need of volunteers who can write content on wide range topics on Sanskrit-and-Indic subject and help build the envisaged online knowledge repository. This being a volunteer request, it is well suited for students who are persuing MA/BA/Kovida/etc., in Sanskrit, and would like to share their knowledge on the subject by writing for the portal.

To know more about the type of content being written please read Write for SAMSKRUTAM page.

The names of volunteers alongwith their content contributions will be mentioned in the Content Creators page of the SAMSKRUTAM portal. If you would like to be part of this initiative, please email at info@samskrutam.com.

Welcome to samskrutam.com.

We are pleased to introduce Sanskrit Discussion Forum. If you wish, you can visit this and register your email and become a member of the forum. This can be accessed from the link - Discussion Forum.

Over the years, since the day of inception in 2005, the need of a collaborative forum for all Sanskrit readers had been sincerly felt. Though we do have this Guest Book to accept views, feedback, and queries; it was not possible for readers to participate in any collaborative discussion.

With this newly introduced "Sanskrit Discussion Forum", we hope to build a larger group of readers which can come together online and share/discuss on Sanskrit, which will help bring Sanskrit to our daily life.

While the Discussion Forum will provide a platform for knowledge sharing and discussions, this Guest Book will continue to accept your feedback, queries etc.

! ! ! Happy Knowledge Sharing & Discussion ! ! !

namo nam: i just tried to solve this test - id 989e48c9-b18c-4cc3-8478-3045f33197af I loved this idea. A great effort indeed. By mistake a few typo-errors are left. please take a note. Que.4 answer should be इत: + तत: Que.14 answer - पुच्छम् + इव Que.20 says the boy going to home, means it gives the home as the destination/ target, and not the source. The explanation given is very precise, but the answer doesnot match. it should be option A.

ब्रह्मानन्दं परमसुखदं केवळंज्ञानमूर्त्तिं द्वन्द्वातीतं गगनसदृशं तत्त्वम्अस्यादिलक्षम्। एकंनित्यं विमळम्अचळं सर्वधीसाक्षिभूतं भावातीतं त्रिगुणरहितं सद्गुरुं तं नमामि।।

Date:27th September 2010/20th December 2010 Dear Sir, Shuddhadwait Vedant is a very very subtle sub ject and through numerous "Shruti Vakyas" found in all the Adhyayas of Shrimad Brahmasutranubhashyam grantha we feel that we go very near to the heart of Shrimad Vallabhacharya and his son Shrimad Vitthaleshji. If one wants to study in depth the subtalities of Shrimad Brahmasutra whose rachanakar is the great saint Shrimad Vyasa Maharshi then its Anubhashya by these two great exponents of Vallabh Vedant will definitely serve ones purpose. The more you study in depth the sutras esp Bhashya Prakash and Rashmi as narrated in Brahmasutranubhashyam granth one realises the indepth study of these Vallabh Vedant scholars. Say for example the bhashya on Brahma Sutra "Shabdaccha". Above and numerous Brahma Sutras as explained in all the adhyayas of the great granth " Brahmasutranubhashyam" written by these two great scholars will give us in depth knowledge of the Shuddha Adwait Vedant philosophy. Regards, Ulhas Pradhan Mo.No09930142924 E-Mail:umpradhan@yahoo.com
