Sanskrit, an Indo-European language, is India’s pride and the mother of most of the North Indian languages. The language has always been looked on as a ‘high’ language used chiefly for religious and scientific discourse. The term “Sanskrit” means “consecrated,” “sanctified,” or “refined.” Sanskrit is the language of the various mantras and hymns used in Hindu religious rituals. It is the language in which the Hindu Scriptures are written. You now have an opportunity to learn this beautiful language under an experienced teacher such as Mr. Gambhirah Chaitanya. As a Sanskrit teacher, he would use the language classes to:

• Introduce you to the Sanskrit alphabet
• Train you to identify vowels and consonants
• Teach mantras from the original text in Sanskrit
• Teach Sandhi rules using the method of Panini grammar
