Sir,

I had raised a point in the 2nd court meeting held in NSU on 9th April 2026 regarding the extension of sanskrit propagation abroad, especially in Vietnam. Yesterday Mr.Vinay P.A.to Registrar, telephoned me and asked to send the point in writing. So I am hereby sending the same to you for your kind perusal.

Please go through the attachment.

EXTENSION OF SANSKRIT PROPAGATION ABROAD

Prof. Hariprasad K

Recently my friend Dr. Sudarshan HS (Software Engineer) visited Vietnam. He stayed there about 2-3 weeks. Most of the people of Vietnam are Buddhists. So, naturally there are so many Bauddha Mathas built across the nation.  But due to long term ruling of Communist party, people are gradually becoming atheists.  Due to atheist mentality of the government Buddhism of the land is not only unaided but also tremendously disregarded. Consequently, people of the land started to abandon their own religion. Government is remarkably ignoring native language too.  By the result of this people are gradually disconnecting from their roots. Actually, texts available regarding Buddhism are in Sanskrit. Though the lord Buddha opposed idle worship, still in all of the Bauddha Mathas are having statues/idles. And Sudarshan ji analyses these idles based on his sense of Agama and says that all the idles resemble to Indian deities. Off course they have their own religious deity names for the idles.  But it is true that long back the people of Vietnam converted to Buddhism from Sanatana.

 But now what is happening there? More than 50% of the population is abandoned Buddhism. This situation is being utilised by Cristian Machineries to convert them into Christianity.  Once up on a time the land was influenced by Indian culture and flourished by Sanatana Dharma and later by Buddhism. But now it is taking a very speed track to converting itself with unknown western abrahamic religion with the bridge of atheism.

But the story of Vietnam is not a new one. Because of our ignorance we lost Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Butan, Barma and so on long back.

Now it is an opportunity to us that we can protect our neighbours from becoming them enemies of their own. It can be done through Sanskrit.

In a true sense India never conquered any nation with inhuman brutality. India influenced all the neighbourhood nations with its rich culture of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” “Krinvanto Vishwamaryam” to breath and lead the tranquil and prosperous  life.  This kind of right path shown by lord Sriramachandra long ago by putting Vibheeshana in the throne of Lanka in spite of having victory over that.  Now also India if wants to step out, does only to the upliftment of the people only culturally educationally instead of ruling them as slaves. That’s why rightly lord Manu said – “Etaddesha prasootasya Sakashadagrajanmanah swam swam charitram shiksheran prithivyam sarvamanavah”  

So in this sense our university (NSU) can revive the age old indigenous tradition of wisdom and culture among the people of Vietnam by teaching Sanskrit there, so that the people of the land can lead the life peacefully.

Dr. Sudarshan ji started this campaign through his own Institution by teaching Sanskrit to the Buddhist monks of Vietnam already. He spent the time of two/three weeks for this purpose and for conduct of his own research project of south eastern Asian study there.

Now it can be continued with proper plan of action in large scale by the university(NSU) by establishing Sanskrit Chair in the native university for cultural exchange, research and propagation of Sanskrit. I am  sure, the Indian Government  through its Culture Ministry, Education Ministry and External affairs ministry will help this campaign as if it is its own business.
