Anahata Sutra

Shiv Nadar University in Greater Noida needed a theme for a faculty orientation programme. Among other ice-breaking activities, a visit to the Golf course and the F1circuit, a  pristine theme was unveiled. In Sanskrit!

Anahata Sutra -a series - unbroken, unfathomable, never ending. Knowing how teaching and learning has an ancient ring of culture and civilization, the theme fitted the programme like a glove. Several relevant sholakas related to teaching learning and applying life skills - were part of collaterals. And to think we call Sanskrit a dead , dormant and irrelevant language - of mere academic interest.
