JAMMU, Sept 25: Kalindi Nursing Home Jammu dedicated its laboratory to the eminent Sanskrit scholar, late Dr Uttam Chand Shastri Pathak, on the occasion of his fourth death anniversary.
A programme in this regard was organized by Kalindi Nursing Home, in association with Shri Kailakh Jyotish Avim Vedic Sansthan Trust.
To promote the Sanskrit language, all the nameplates in the nursing home were also written in Sanskrit. The chief guest of the event was Shakti Pathak, Chief Trustee, Chudamani Sanskrit Institute, Basohli.
Speaking on the occasion, Shakti Pathak said that without the divine language of Sanskrit, the knowledge of Indian culture and traditions is incomplete. “Sanskrit is read as it is written, and many Sanskrit words are used in Hindi and other Indian languages. The vocabulary expands from Sanskrit itself. Humans think through language, and thus, to enrich our thinking language, we must follow the path shown by late Dr Uttam Chand Pathak,” he said.
“Promoting Sanskrit with nameplates in the nursing home is a commendable effort. All the members of the trust and nursing home deserve congratulations for this,” he added.
Mahant Rohit Shastri, Chairman of the Kailakh Trust, said that late Dr Uttam Chand Shastri Pathak and his family have made an invaluable contribution to the promotion and development of the Sanskrit language in India. “Dr. Uttam Chand Shastri Pathak’s dedication to advancing Sanskrit in the nation is well-known. Students who studied under him are now serving in high positions in both State and Central Governments. The youth should also follow the footsteps of the Dr Uttam Chand Shastri Pathak and contribute to the preservation of culture at the state and national levels,” he said.
Dr Vishva Gupta, Managing Director, Kalindi Nursing Home, stated that he made this decision inspired by the life of late Dr Uttam Chand Shastri Pathak. He also announced that Sanskrit speakers would be given special concessions.
On this occasion, prominent citizens like Pramod Sharma, Sunil Sharma, M L Verma, Anil Gupta, Shubham Jamwal, Pawan Khajuria, Aryaveer Singh Jamwal, Sunil Vaid, Naresh Raina, Dr Naseeb Chand Digra, Swati Sharma, Dr Kamani Gupta, Dr Vidyut Gupta, Narmata Sharma, Dr B B Kapoor, and others were present.
