Values: Sanskrit is the mother of all the indian languages. It is the base for the Indian culture and traditions.  Whatever we have learned about our country; its traditions, ethics, beliefs have come from the primary language of India. The name comes from the word – sam-skar which means  “to put together”. This is the only language used to perform all the ritual rites in major ceremonies like prayers, weddings and other spiritual activities. Shlokas, Mantras and Hymns apart from vedas, Ithihasas, puranas, panchathantrams are recited in Sanskrit as it is said to be the most sacred and pure language. One can absolutely believe that Sanskrit knowledge is a wish -fulfilling divine tree of all the human beings.

The important human values in our day-to-day life are truth, beauty and goodness, thinking, feeling and willing Satyam, Sivam and Sundaram.
