Volunteering for Vyoma Sanskrit Paathashala


Most recently, I volunteered for the हितोपदेशः course. Along with volunteering, I also learnt practical knowledge that I apply day to day. Volunteering at Vyoma with my skills and knowledge is akin to watering the roots of सनातन धर्मः. I started learning Sanskrit 2 years ago, and this learning has helped me practically see things happening in the right light and has made me more resilient. Volunteering is my privilege and honor to contribute to this noble cause in whatever small way I can.

For me, Vyoma is the kalpavriksha that provides this ज्ञानम्. Through this सुलभ platform, विद्यार्थ्य: can navigate successfully through this rich, friendly forest. Volunteering for Vyoma is my approach to repaying my debt to the Vyoma community, गुरवः and the ऋषि ऋणम्
