The Akhila Bharatiya Prachyavidya Sammelana, jointly organized by the Paryaya Pejawar Math, Bharatiya Vidvat Parishad, and Central Sanskrit University, was inaugurated at the Sri Krishna Matha in Udupi by Baba Ramdev, the founder of Patanjali Yogpeeth.

In his inaugural speech, Baba Ramdev emphasized the growing significance of Sanskrit and Sanatana Dharma, stating, “The future belongs to Sanskrit and Sanatana Dharma. Those who once questioned the utility of learning Sanskrit are now encouraging its study. Sanskrit holds a unique prestige and grandeur, being the root of all languages.”

Speaking on the occasion, Sugunendra Tirtha Swamiji of Puttige Matha stressed the importance of protecting Sanatana Dharma, calling it a collective responsibility. He further added, “Prachya Vidya (ancient knowledge) is the essence of Indian wisdom. While other languages have undergone transformations, Sanskrit has remained unchanged since time immemorial.”

The event saw the presence of several dignitaries, including the junior pontiff of Puttige Math, Sri Sushreendra Tirtha Swamiji, Pejawar Math head Sri Vishwaprasanna Tirtha Swamiji, and Sri Vidyeshatirtha Swamiji of Bhandarkeri Math. Acharya Balkrishna, Chancellor of Patanjali Yogpeeth, was also present at the occasion, along with many other notable guests.
