संस्कृत दिन समारोह: World Sanskrit Day , also known as Vishva-Samskrita-Dinam ( विश्वसंस्कृतदिनम् ), is an annual event focused around the ancient Indian language Sanskrit that incorporates lectures about the language and is aimed to promote its revival and maintenance. It is celebrated on Shraavana Poornima, that is the full moon day of the Shraavana month in the Hindu calendar . This generally corresponds with the month of August in the Gregorian calendar. Shraavana Poornima, i.e. Raksha Bandhan , is considered to be the festival of remembrance and worship of sages and worship for their dedication. In Vedic literature it was called Shravani. On this day, before the study of Vedas in Gurukulas, Yajñopavita - sacred thread - is worn. This ceremony is called Upanayana or Upakarma Sanskar. The old Yajñopavita is also changed on this day. Priests also tie raksha-sutras to the hosts. Rishis are considered the original source of Sanskrit literature, hence Shravani Pur
