Culture page (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

While developing the culture page I think it is important that we project our country as the best example in the world of a Secular Nation. We are indeed very proud of our culture that allows people from so many deferent religions, backgrounds, cultures to co-exist since time immemorial. You have indeed started a very interesting page and I hope it will reflect the India that we as a collective dream of.

I am just waiting for those who share similar ideas which I have started with. I am happy to find a few colleagues here to depict our culture on Wiki India Culture Page in a dynamic way collectively. What else can be more joyous than finding suggestions and comments here from WikiEducator India Team members?

Thank you.

Your authentic response delights me and at the same time reminds me to remain well grounded on the solid foundation of humility wherein the pillars of virtues are to be erected.

Dear Dr.Ramakrishnanji,

You are doing great things! It is really a good news. I would like to feature you on India Node. It will definitely inspire our community. In this connection could I request you to add a brief note on your WE related activities, other ODL related works etc on your WE user page?

Second, I have read your suggestion for a Teachers day joint statement, it is really innovative. In this regards also could I request you to start a new page like [[/Teachers Day 2008; Joint Statement/]] from India page and detail your suggestion a little more? We can refer that page to other WE community members for a collaborative development of the statement and input of suggestions on the further course of actions to be taken based on the statement.

Hello Dr. Ramakrishnan! (1)

There have been no changes to this discussion for at least 14 days. If it is concluded, you may want to write a summary.

It is wonderful to sacn your many accomplishments on your user page. I was especially impressed at the degree you have become a polyglot, as languages have always fascinated me personally. Since I studied Latin and Attic Greek as an undergraduate, I was curious as to your opinion on whether the degree in English was more or less difficult than that in the "dead" language Sanskrit. Keep up the good work! Aaron Neumann

"From the words of the poet men take what meanings please them; yet their last meaning points to thee." LXXV Geetanjali,Tagore.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for your appreciation. Regarding your curiosity about less/more difficulty in "the degree in English... than that in the "dead" language Sanskrit", I would like to tell you a bit about the attitude towards language in our Vedic tradition. Sanskrit is considered not only a language of communication but also a language of expression such as breathing! This breath-taking comprehension of Sanskrit will be felt by any person who closely observes one's breathing process. Try this: watch the sound while you breathe out, it is felt as hum (like hum in Humphry) and it is felt as sah while breathing in. Thus the term for breath in Sanskrit is Humsah which also means a bird. Hence Sanskrit is a living language and yet we are dead to it!

Further, the Goddess of Learning, Saraswati, in the Vedic tradition is meditated upon as having language-form which includes all languages.

Both the languages serve a definite purpose in my life's mission. With Sanskrit I know what I am and what I want. With English I can let others know what I am and what I want to do for humanity.

That was a fascinating description of the way we use language inspired by the Vedic tradition, certainly not considered by me before. I understood you intuitively, though. I grew up with English, a complex, nuanced language I always saw as a basic and at times clumsy tool for communication. It was not until I studied Latin and to a lesser extent Greek that I realized how language itself could become a means of knowledge. The simplicity and precision of these ancient languages allowed me to reflect on the world and myself in a new, clear light. I was introduced to the fascinating world of true meaning behind the common sounds we speak, simply reflecting on words such as amicitia, iustitia, and deus.

It is this ability to guide one's thoughts by one's language that is gained in learning ancient languages, which saddens me when I think of how few American students are in Latin classes these days. I still regard English as a means of communication, but can enjoy a retreat into meaningful contemplation through the words of Plutarch and Cicero.

I thank you for your wonderful discussion, and hope to speak again soon.

Dear Dr Saab

Good day to you. It's been nice to have your comment on my day 1 activity where we had to submit our views with respect to three different questions.

I have seeen your page and it looks alright , but I belive you can still improve the overall look of your page with some more photographs from India as well as telling us more about you.

Your comments and your posts on WIKI really shows the level at which you thnk and reflect. I am really impressed by your positive comments and I am surely learning from you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards

Ravi

Dear Ravi,

Thank you so much for your keen observations and suggestions. The page will be given required face-lift which will be a forerunner to my OER/Course material to be submitted for getting "buddy".
