मधुराम्लम् निम्बपत्राणि: Madhuramlam (Sanskrit Plays)

Sanskrit is followed by a very small section of our society. Inspite of this, it is admired by almost everyone as an ancient language gifted with a rich literature. How do we make the language more effective in the pleasant environment? It is perhaps the small one act plays, having a contemporary theme, written in simple Sanskrit that will be accessible to the wider section of people in our country and abroad. “Madhuramlam” a collection of five one act plays, fulfills the above requirement. Madhuramlam which symbolises the contrasts of the various experiences of life-sweet-sour happiness-sorrow, achievements-loss etc. is the main essence contained in all the plays. This justifies the title-‘Madhuramlam’.
