}}Chamu Krishna Shastry[3] (born January 23, 1956) is an indian language activist who has been working for the revival of the Sanskrit language. He is the co-founder of the Samskrita Bharati movement, which is aiming to make Sanskrit popular across the world.[5] He is secretary of [https://samskritpromotion.in/ Samskrit Promotion Foundation]. On 25 January 2017, Government of India announced "Padma Shri" award in the category Literature and education for his contribution towards the promotion of Sanskrit.[4]

Early life

Shastry was born on January 23, 1956 in Kedila village near Mangalore (Bantwal taluk).[2] He learnt Sanskrit from the Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidyapeetha at Tirupati.[2][5] As a teenage RSS worker he was underground during Emergency.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} It was in this period that he first read V.D. Savarkar and Swami Vivekananda's writings on Sanskrit.[6]

Career

Speak Samskrit movement

Shastry along with some of his friends, went on to start the ‘Speak Samskrit’ Movement in 1981 from Bangalore.[2] His method of teaching Sanskrit is to learn it in the same language rather than through other language by translation.[7] Learning Sanskrit can be a forbidding exercise because it is being taught through translation. To make it easier for the students, Shastry's method is not to learn the language through grammar, but to teach Sanskrit as it is spoken.[8] The students thus do not have to wrestle with the nuances of an arcane syntactics. It's then easier to master the language, so much so that even semi-literate people can opt for the course.

Samskrita Bharati

{{main|Samskrita Bharati}}

The movement eventually evolved into the not-for-profit organisation Samskrita Bharati, a voluntary body committed to the cause of Sanskrit. .[9] Shastry’s efforts led to the development of the very popular "Ten-day Sanskrit Speaking Course" of Samskrita Bharati. He has inspired a dedicated work force for Sanskrit across the country which is leading the propagation work at various states. Samskrita Bharati and Shastry have been implementing the 10 day course through a network of 250 full-time workers and 5,000[8] Sanskrit Bharati volunteers. It also helps that the course is offered for free.[5] Samskrita Bharati has enabled nearly one crore people to learn and converse in Sanskrit the language, one lakh of whom have decided to use Sanskrit at home in true ancient style.[10]

Shastry's efforts have also led many universities and colleges to adopt the communicative teaching method for Sanskrit. In the USA, SAFL(Samskrit as a Foreign Language) is a popular course among the children of Indian origin. Samskrita Bharati is active all over India and in 13 countries including USA, Canada, UK and the UAE.[9] The organisation is also credited with the revival of Sanskrit in Gujarat[11]

Few unique experiments like “Samskrit Homes” and “Samskrit mother tongue Children” are popular. “Saraswati Seva” is project through which hundreds of books from other Indian & foreign Languages are translated into Sanskrit. To promote young authors and modern books in Sanskrit he had conceived events like “Samskrit Book Fair”, & “Sahityotsava”.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}}

Vision

Shastry sees Sanskrit as being India's lingua franca.[11] He says, “Till now Samskrit has only been seen from a spiritual or religious perspective; it is high time Samskrit is approached from a scientific point of view as well.”[9] He opines that Sanskrit would be a unifying factor in India.[12]

Shastry believed in taking Sanskrit to the under-privileged. He echoed Dr. Ambedkar’s support[13] for Sanskrit as a platform for enabling social upliftment and equality.[1]

Samskrit Promotion Foundation

Shastry help start the Samskrit Promotion Foundation, a not for profit trust, that aims to "popularise Samskrit" in India again and among other objectives leverage Samskrit as an "effective tool" to socially and economically "empower the weaker sections" of the society. The trustess include eminent citizens like former Chief Justice of India R. C. Lahoti, for Chief Election Commissioner N. Gopalaswami, Justice Rama Jois, S. Gurumurthy, among others. Shastry is a key trustee and secretary[1] of this trust.[14]

Influencing policy

Shastry spends most of his time on teacher training, workshops, making of learning material and discussing Sanskrit education with policy makers. He believes that not just Sanskrit as language, but modern subjects like chemistry, maths, history etc. should also be taught through Sanskrit.[9]

He was also a member of the Central Government constituted Sanskrit Committee that developed the “Road Map for the Development of Sanskrit – Ten Year Perspective Plan” document in 2016.[15]

Others

His extensive experience in education and teaching methods has led to his being on the Board of Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan[1] and many other universities.

Shastry is a much renowned speaker and he is regarded his fluent and fiery oratory in Sanskrit.[15] He believes in the dictum of the Bhagavad Gita to work towards a goal without expectations and has taken a personal vow of not accepting honors and awards.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} He is a prolific writer and has written a dozen books and numerous articles in Sanskrit.
