Hello Friends,

  1.      I came across this beautiful documentary film on the life and contributions of Jagannath alias Nana Shankersheth, in whose name the famous Jagannath Shankersheth Sanskrit Scholarship was established around 1857.  Ashok Aklujkar, Ganesh Thite, and I, among many others, won this Sanskrit scholarship.  Shankershet worked closely with Mountstuart Elphonstone, the first British governor of Bombay, and significantly contributed to the establishment of numerous educational and cultural institutions in Bombay.  The film depicts his manifold contributions.
