The Sydney Sanskrit School held its annual Sanskrit Festival, Samskrutotsavam 2025, celebrating language, heritage and contemporary themes through student performances. This year’s event drew inspiration from United Nations initiatives, with a focus on glacier preservation, science and quantum technology.
Students presented a wide range of performances, including Sanskrit songs, dance and drama, highlighting how ancient knowledge can be applied to modern global challenges. A thought-provoking play on littering and plastic pollution further underlined the program’s emphasis on environmental responsibility.
The event was attended by several distinguished guests, including Niyati Mehta, Director of the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre in Sydney; former NSW MP for Liverpool Paul Lynch; and Sewa Singh, Founder of the Association of Haryanvis in Australia (AHA).
They commended the school and its students for their creativity, discipline and commitment to preserving one of the world’s oldest languages.
Samskrutotsavam 2025 once again reflected the growing interest in Sanskrit education in Australia and showcased the school’s efforts to connect young learners with both cultural heritage and contemporary scientific themes.
