Classes for adults at CMH

 

 

Sanskrit Class for Audults: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

The traditional Indian method of learning Sanskrit is through oral transmission, by first memorizing texts and then learning their meaning. The Western academic approach methodically teaches the alphabet, declensions, grammar, syntax, and vocabulary building. 

Yogavataranam integrates the traditional and academic approaches for a full and practical experience of Sanskrit study.

Yogavataranam approaches language systematically and at the same time allows students to read important and relevant texts as soon as possible, while emphasizing proper pronunciation through its audio accompaniment. The first section teaches reading and basic grammar, the second covers more extensive grammar, and by the third, students can begin to read and understand even more complex texts, such as the Upanishads.
