This is a rare opportunity for students interested in learning Sanskrit. Students must be willing to commit to a weekly assignment of homework.
The course begins with learning the Devanāgarī script, followed by the basic grammar, which is taught using our own text books.
Classes are supported by a full series of videos. Participants will work towards eventually taking the Cambridge IGCSE examination, which in its final stages incorporates the study of the Bhagavad Gītā in the original language of Sanskrit.
Also included in the course is an exploration of the various genres of Sanskrit literature with particular reference to the cultural and philosophical background of the Rāmāyana and Mahābhārata epics.
