Dear Friends,


The only sanskrit daily newspaper in the world was launched on 15th July,
1970, by Pandit  Vardaraja Iyengar. The newspaper was started by the
founder to unfold and open up that Sanskrit is not a language defined
to one sector of
religion or one sect of community. The whole purpose is to eradicate the
myth that this language is not restricted to one sect or one country
or one religion- Pandit spent all his life savings to make this
newspaper available to a common man to access the mother of the all
languages at a very economical price .

The paper name is Sudharma which is also available
online  which is read by 86 countries people (Online) . By reading the
newspaper on daily basis one can easily learn the language (With
knowledge of hindi) , the contents are very simple and reader friendly
.

The Mother of all languages paper needs our help to sustain . The
paper is run by Late Vardaraja Iyengar's son and his wife in a small
place at Mysore with couple of emplyoees. The paper does not get any
grant, or any advertsisments or subsidy inspite of that Mr. Sampat
Iyengar ensures to release the paper on daily basis by morning 7 AM
and mails to all the subscribers. There are no artcile contributors
for papers except couple of them. I visited them , met them and spoke
to them. They have so much passion for the language and drive to keep
this paper going inspite of absolute constraints of funds. They dont
get even newsprint subsidy .  The annual subscription is Rs.300/-
which includes mailing cost.  Sudharma needs our support and help -

Please help by subscribing to the paper , send donations, sponsor to anyone
who can read sanskirt, sponsor paper, ink

anything you can do- Please send this email to your friends (NRI's and to
anybody you know) . Please encourage your

children or known children who are studying sanskrt in school. Please
subscribe for your known temples and bhajan mutts

etc.
