Annual Pandit Motilal Shastri Memorial Lecture 2026

September 28,2026

Shri Shankar Shikshayatan is happy to present the Annual Pandit Motilal Shastri Memorial Lecture 2026 on September 28, 2026.

The topic of the lecture is Chhandasameeksha.

Pandit Madhusudan Ojha composed Chhandasameeksha as a systematic analysis of Chhandashastra, presenting chhandas not merely as the study of poetic metre but as a comprehensive discipline with its own principles, terminology, mathematics, grammar, and applications. The work examines the fundamental nature and structure of Chhandastattva and identifies five principal branches of the Padyachhandoveda: Chhandashiksha (the science of metre), Chhandoganita (the mathematics of metre), Chhandonirukti (etymological analysis), Chhandovyakarana (grammar of metre), and Chhandokalpa (the systematic application and ritual framework of metre). Through these five limbs, Ojhaji presents chhandas as an integrated system in which linguistic structure, mathematical order, and the principles governing poetic form are closely interconnected.
