Sadly I have realized that only if one makes a lot of publicity that he is propagating Sanskrit there will be people to sing his praise, and the partial or inadequate scholars of Sanskrit get a lot of fanfare,
while great scholars, even in Facebook etc, who have the vision and capacity but are like huge oceans which would not go in search of others to teach but would expect the seekers approaching them, never are valued ..
Kalidasa said..in Kumarasamhavam .
'न रत्नं अन्विष्यति मृग्यते हि तत्
na ratnam anvishyati mrugyate hi tat..
the valuable gems do not go canvassing and marketing themselves ,
but connoisseurs come in search...
Nothing like that ever happens in this matter ...
For a lover of Sanskrit, in India, what would count is not the money..
but the respect for the language
and the person having that knowledge
And no one ever cares for those..
I have seen this business pursued by hundreds and thousands..
watched it with a lot of despair..
I say this not to hurt anyone,,
but I write this out of my love for Sanskrit.
