During that time I was studying in 10th class. The camp was for ten days. In the early morning we students used to attend the sanskrit class. Without the knowledge of Sanskrit we started speaking in Sanskrit from day one  We used to speak simple sentences in Sanskrit like My name is Raghavendra. What is your name Later if we meet a friend on the way we used to converse in Sanskrit like What is the time Heh friend It is eight O clock. Camps time let us run . Also we used to practice a Sanskrit song everyday.
  

In the evening volunteers used to organize the cultural program in Sanskrit on the banks of Tunga river. Somebody tries to narrate a story somebody else wants to tell that days special events all in Sanskrit  We all started having simple conversation with Sri. Krishnamurthy and Sri. Janardhan another teacher in Sanskrit itself

The valedictory function of the camp was held at Karnatakha Sangh auditorium. Sri. Krishnamurthy explained brie y the ocean of knowledge contained in Sanskrit. After that the kids enacted simple dramas. Many exhibited some incidents of daily life in Sanskrit. Some intelligent persons also gave comic episodes in Sanskrit. The snacks co ordinator for the camp also explained his experience at the camp Today I also know Sanskrit. Is dosa there Enough Enough is chatni there What is todays special

After attending the camp we became very much interested in Sanskrit. We felt that this language will de nitely become the language of common men. We started digging the treasury of Sanskrit knowledge Subhaashitas Vedic prayers Bhagavadgita study Vedic mathematics etc.

Today in Shimoga city lot of people have capacity to converse in Sanskrit. Especially in Mattor village 80With the e orts of Hindu Seva Pratistana Sanskrit has reached every village in India. I hope with this program in America the language of gods will become the language of entire humanity. Let us all will work in this direction.
