About the Book
The present volume is a collection of papers presented during a national seminar on 'Sanskrit in the Twenty First Century' organised by the Department of Sanskrit, University of Calicut and Sahitya Akademi in May 2007. The papers presented includes seminal contributions from stalwarts like Professor Satya Vrat Sastri and covers a wide spectrum of perceptions of the status of Sanskrit in the contemporary world, mainly related to the research prospects in the field and to the avenues of its growth as a living language to be used for creative writing. The papers demonstrate how Sanskrit, doubtlessly the most precious legacy of ancient Indian civilization, is a virtual treasure trove of knowledge related to a variety of disciplines such as medicine, philosophy, architecture, jurisprudence, linguistics, lexicography, environmental science, etc. Belying the predictions of prophets of doom, Sanskrit has stayed with us for all these centuries and its influence on the Indian psyche is ever increasing. The collection will hopefully serve as a roadmap for the further development of Sanskrit in the present century.
