A new Arsha Drishti online beginning Sanskrit course will be starting April 10th, 2022. The structure and pace of the course will provide a gentle introduction to the Sanskrit language covering the alphabet, proper pronunciation, Devanāgarī script, grammar, and vocabulary. It will lay the groundwork for the student to properly chant Sanskrit texts, stotras, etc., as well as to begin translating and reading texts such as the Bhagavad Gītā, Upaniṣads, and the traditional commentaries.
The format of these sessions will be hosted presentations of video recordings of the beginning Sanskrit classes taught by Swami Advayatmananda Saraswati that commenced in 2019. These one-hour sessions will be hosted by Falguni and Snehal Bhatt. Deepti and Ganesh Bhat will be hosting live tutoring sessions to address any questions regarding the material covered in the recordings.
