Namasangeerthanam as a One year Course-Sastra University

[grsastrigal]

I was pleasantly surprised to see an invitation at my door steps for inauguration of Namasangeerthanam (NSM) course in Sastra University-near Vallam, Tanjore.

It is a one year course and the inauguration is today, 2nd August 2016. Shri.Udayalur Kalyanaranam, the eminent expert in NSM will be inaugurating this and also part time teacher for this.

More interesting news is that, 40-50 students, who were supposed to enroll for this. was filled up immediately. The students need to attend 100 hours compulsory in an academic year. The marks (Grade) for this course will be added with your regular course (like B.tech)

I was informed by one of the professors, who are involved, that there is overwhelming response for this and students are very eager.

We are talking about Magsaysay award. Here, silently an University, headed by Dean, Mr.Sethuraman, is creating a revolution in bringing our age old tradition as a “course” and offer it to “interested” students.

Even 20% of these students take this course seriously and start pursuing once in a week, (like Radha kalyAnam) Sastra & Udaiyalur & Team can proudly say “gOpigAji vanasmaranam”…..
