Commonwealth baton relay starts with Rigveda
British children chanting Vedic hymns in chorus in fluent Sanskrit at the kick-start of Commonwealth Games 2010 in presence of Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and Indian President Pratibha Patil at London has given reasons to India to be proud.
INDIA HAS reasons to feel proud when its ancient tradition of starting an event with chanting of Vedic hymns in Sanskrit was adopted at the kick-start of Commonwealth Games 2010 in presence of Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain and President Pratibha Patil of India at London in a spectacular ceremony. Chanting of Vedic hymns by British children in chorus for several minutes in fluent Sanskrit that too without reading any script was indeed worth-appreciating.
Chanting of Vedic hymns in state-assemblies of United States of America and countries is also becoming a regular trend. Only recently an Indian priest Narayanachar Digalakote chanted hymns while US President lit Diwali-lamp at White House. When Western countries are realising the importance of Vedic hymns in Sanskrit, it is time that Indian government may set up a separate ministry for development and research of Sanskrit to explore the hidden treasure of literature and medical science in the ancient language.
.Dear writer, I'm glad to know your thoughts on this matter and wish maximum people get sensitized to the same.
