Learning across curriculum is one of the new trends in the field of teaching learning today. Knowledge is whole. What students learn in Mathematics has some relation to what they learn in other subjects. As a teacher it is very much required today that we correlate out subject with other subjects learnt by the students. There is a need to correlate different disciples of knowledge. We find many works in Sanskrit which are related to different disciples of knowledge.
For example, Sanskrit and Mathematics.
Vedic mathematics is very popular today as it offers simple and quick methods of carrying out mathematical operations. There are even online tutorials offered for the same. Vedic mathematics is a system of mathematics consisting of a list of 16 basic sūtras, or aphorisms. They were presented by a Hindu scholar and mathematician, Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja, during the early part of the 20th century. A teacher of Sanskrit having done course in mathematics can offer programmes in Vedic maths as well.
The aspects of social science such as social and cultural life of people of ancient India can be well explained even with verses of Sanskrit. In fact, learning history of ancient India will be enriched if Sanskrit verses are related and explained.
Some of the topics of science particularly environment protection related points can be well taught by teaching subhashitas. A science teacher can use verses for teaching environmental education. Similarly while teaching verses related to nature, a reference to environmental protection and issues related to it should be worthy of mention by a teacher of Sanskrit.
Sanskrit is also linked with the filed of architecture-civil engineering. The knowledge of Vaastu and exposure of civil engineering can widen one’s horizons of getting employed.
The tradition of Yoga is closely associated with the filed of physical health. Practice of various asana is important for sound physical health.
Knowledge of Sanskrit is very useful for programming computers. Thus Sanskrit and computer sciences are also inter-related. The computer scientists learn Sanskrit for better programming. The suitability of the language for computer programming is internationally well accepted.
While teaching Sanskrit a teacher should relate the language with other subjects. Besides, Sanskrit and its relationships with other subjects should also be brought to their notice so as to explain the significance of Sanskrit to students. In nutshell, it is very much important on the part of the Sanskrit teachers that they relate Sanskrit with other schools subjects-disciplines of knowledge so as develop interest among students for learning Sanskrit and make them realize that Sanskrit literature includes in itself even the knowledge pertaining to other fields of knowledge. It again substantiates the comprehensiveness of Sanskrit literature wherein we find literature related to many fields of knowledge.
