How to revive the pristine glory?
Have you heard the saying, "not less than two for study but one is for meditation." Similarly, when you want to learn a lanuguage a gathering of like minded is essential. So that you have lot of interaction in communicating. Many a organisations voluntarily contributing to such a noble cause of spreading the spoken Sanskrit movement. You have to allot little span of time, say, for a ten days to them so that they'll train you to acquire the basic skills in learning the divine speech.
'Samskrta Bharati' (SB) is rendering yeoman service for the past two decades to propagate the Sanskrit language and culture. 'Aksharam' is established in Bangalore around 1985 before it has extended operations in India with the name 'Samskrta Bharati.' It has adopted the method of 'Ten days spoken Sanskrit camps' all over India and thousands of camps organised in India and abroad also.

It has a publication divison with so many learing materials in the form of books, Audio/Video cassettes, CDs and also It has a monthly magazine in Sanskrit called 'sambhashana sandesah' among these publications.
The minimum eligibility to enter in to these camps is a mere interest to learn this classical language. Without your own effort and knowledge, you are learing so many grammatical points like, nouns-pronouns-verbs-numbers-tenses etc., SB has introduced to omit the usage of dual number, second person etc. to avoid the confusion for a quick grasp of Sanskrit grammar. Hence, the learner will have a positive attitude towards the spoken activity. So he is confident enough to continue further. The wonder in the ten days camp, the medium of instruction is entirely in Sanskrit and with the help of some teaching aids the communication is more effective. Gradually, the activity of mutual introduction to form longer sentences is practiced. The central point of teaching revolves around practicing spoken Sanskrit. With the help of the teaching material you will get to know the new vocabulary. New acquisition of words and with its practice, the word and its meaning is constant in your mind. Such practice boosts the next or higher level of learning.
With such efforts and knowledge, one can able to take Sanskrit as a second language in secondary education/pre university education. All this is possible once the foundation laid is very good. The quality of education obtained and the accumulated interest till graduate level determines the further studies. Any way, if one goes for a university study or not, there is lot of scope to explore the scientific treasure of this language with a little effort further.
According the the latest census in India, of late, there more than a five lakh people who are speaking Sanskrit effortlessly and nearly four lakh people convesing the divine speech abroad. one can witness hundreds of 'samskrta grhaani' (Sanskrit homes) and a considerable number of 'samskrta graamaah' (Sanskrit villages) in the revial the classical language. As lot of research under process and studies are going on in foreign universities, we should not be hesitant to sing the glory of the divine language in this hi-tech age.
I strongly feel also effectionately, the best way to bring back the consciousness of this language is through spoken Sanskrit moment.
