Sanskrit Learning

Vedic Sanskrit, also simply referred as the Vedic language, is an ancient language of the Indo-Aryan subgroup of the Indo-European language family. It is attested in the Vedas and related literature compiled over the period of the mid-2nd to mid-1st millennium BCE.

 

Reading and Interpretation

Once students have progressed beyond Beginner's Sanskrit, they can start reading the old texts in class and by themselves, beginning with comparatively easy stories, such as those in the Mahabharata, Ramayana or parts of the Gita. As it is the case in the study of texts in any other classical language, it can and should be done with a critical bent of mind.

 

This means: without constant reference to traditional commentaries or religious teachers. To do so would be to base modern teaching on an uncritical belief in the myth of the infallibility of the great commentators. Sanskrit texts are usually taught with a heavy reliance on such medieval commentaries, that means, reliance on people who often are as distant from the original culture of the texts as we are today.

 

Commentators help, but they do not know more or better than Sanskrit specialists do now. When first establishing a critical understanding of Sanskrit texts some two hundred years ago, such commentaries have been very useful. But by now we have enough tools and aids (dictionaries, grammars, indexes, specialized studies, etc.) that allow us to come to our own conclusions, to supplement or even correct the commentaries.

 

In today's world, students have to see themselves what the texts really have to tell, rather than to be taught ex cathedra by a modern guru or a medieval scholastic. If proceeding in critical fashion, students will gradually improve their knowledge of the cultural and religious background of the period of the text in question and will gain a better understanding of the texts. In other words, such critical reading leads to self-reliance and self-emancipation.

 

There is no need to belabor the fact that Sanskrit Literature is a very rich one, from old religious texts (Veda, Puranas) to the great epics, from classical dramas to historical inscriptions, and on to medicine, law, Machiavellian state craft, agriculture, etc. Even the science of gems, cook books, and the art of thievery (Shanmukhakalpa) are found.

 

All these traditions represent the foundation and often also the spiritual support of what makes up today's Indians, due to the implicit values found in the texts, values that are often imperceptibly transmitted and imbibed from childhood onwards.

 

 

Even a little Sanskrit will help the average reader to control and check translations as well as medieval and modern scholars' commentaries. It will allow readers to see through much of what is bandied about now -- such as a never-changing Hinduism (sanatana dharma), Ram's golden age, the supposedly egalitarian role of women in the Vedic period, the autochthonous 'Aryans', and so on.

 

Much of the literature, especially the more difficult texts, can and perhaps should be read in good modern translations, which can, however, be checked by someone who has learned some Sanskrit.

 

This is not utopian at all: for example, in Japanese high schools one reads, next to a lot of old and modern Japanese and next to some translated Western literature, also old Chinese literature in the original Chinese characters (kambun, with some Japanese annotations); or, in my own high school, we did so with respect to some of the old European texts (partially, with modern translations attached).

 

In India, one could emulate such systems, but one should also include the other traditions represented, whether Tamil, Islamic, or else they should at least be taught in eclectic, paradigmatic fashion as to give an inkling of the enormous variety of cultures actually present in the subcontinent.

 

Beauty lies in variety and diversity, not in boring uniformity. Inclusivism should be the watchword, not a monolithic exclusion of 'unwanted' or worse, "un-Indian" traditions. Which brings us to the next point.

 

 

In short, any introduction of Sanskrit must proceed flexibly enough as to include those groups in the country that are not adherents of Hinduism, however defined. They must be given the chance to read texts from their own classical languages, and of their own choice.

 

This course can be considered the ultimate guide for learners who want to learn and master Sanskrit language. This ancient language contains a vast treasure of knowledge which can be practiced and learned to become a Sanskrit literate.

 

It is meticulously designed keeping in mind the structure of how a language is taught! Following the structure is important so as to get your basics right first and then proceed step by step to more advanced concepts.

 

There are sections dedicated to each topic such as alphabets, vowels, consonants, visarga & anuswar (anunaasik varna), conversations, names (noun), days & time, numbers, actions/verbs, indeclinables, vibhakti, tenses [all essential tenses], participles, prefixes, root words, fables etc.- each section is loaded with examples on how to use them in basic conversations. On top of that, we have drafted smart quizzes for you to test your knowledge about that particular topic. Don’t worry if you do not get it all correct at first. Go through the lecture again and have a go at the quiz again!

 

We all know that Sanskrit is widely used in prayers and meditation as well as modern literature and music - let’s start a wave of Sanskrit learning which will bring back this ancient language and give it - its due respect!

  • Learners who want to learn Sanskrit language from scratch.

Third Eye is the element of light which gives us the ability to see, to take in the shape and form of things around us from a distance when balanced, the third eye allows clarity, self-awareness, and the ability to trust one's intuition. Practices like yoga and meditation aim to open and balance this chakra, fostering heightened perception and spiritual insight

तृतीयनेत्रं प्रकाशस्य तत्तत्त्वं यत् अस्मान् द्रष्टुं क्षमताम् अयच्छति, सन्तुलितसमये दूरतः अस्माकं परितः स्थापितानां वस्तूनाम् आकारं रूपं च ग्रहीतुं, तृतीयनेत्रं स्पष्टतां, आत्मजागरूकतां, स्वस्य अन्तःकरणस्य विश्वासं कर्तुं च क्षमताम् अनुमन्यते। योगः ध्यानं च इत्यादीनां अभ्यासानां उद्देश्यं अस्य चक्रस्य उद्घाटनं सन्तुलनं च भवति, उन्नतबोधं आध्यात्मिकदृष्टिः च पोषयितुं

Ayurveda is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, spirit, and environment. Yoga is an ancient wealth of wisdom, which is a gift passed down to us from our ancestors from over five centuries ago. It is unfortunate that in today’s world this tradition of yoga is only confined to the practice of asanas or physical postures. Though in reality, the meaning of the word yoga encompasses so much more.

Most of the diseases arise due to improper food habits and faulty life style besides hereditary and other reasons. Ayurveda is a system of evolved in India, which tries to bring harmony between man and nature by using holistic methods of diagnosis, prevention and treatment.

Embarking on a spiritual path can catalyze profound changes in one's life, offering a sense of purpose and inner transformation.

आयुर्वेदः अस्मिन् विश्वासे आधारितः अस्ति यत् स्वास्थ्यं, कल्याणं च मनः, शरीरं, आत्मा, पर्यावरणं च इत्येतयोः मध्ये सुकुमारसन्तुलनस्य उपरि निर्भरं भवति । योगः प्राचीनः प्रज्ञासम्पदः अस्ति, यत् पञ्चशताब्दाधिककालात् अस्माकं पूर्वजानां कृते अस्माकं कृते प्रदत्तं दानम् अस्ति । अद्यतनजगति एषा योगपरम्परा केवलं आसनस्य अथवा शारीरिकमुद्रायाः अभ्यासे एव सीमितः इति दुर्भाग्यम् । यद्यपि वस्तुतः योगशब्दस्य अर्थः एतावत् अधिकं व्याप्नोति।

आध्यात्मिकमार्गे प्रविशन् जीवने गहनपरिवर्तनानां उत्प्रेरकं भवितुम् अर्हति, उद्देश्यस्य भावः, आन्तरिकपरिवर्तनं च प्रदातुं शक्नोति ।

 

Ashta siddhis are based on the five great elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space. Ashta siddhi is nothing but few incentives in the path of Realisation/Nirvana/Samadhi. Chakras in kundalini & aligning them in a straight line are what lead to Nirvana/samadhi. 

अष्टसिद्धयः पृथिवी, जलं, अग्निः, वायुः, अन्तरिक्षं च इति पञ्चमहातत्त्वेषु आधारिताः सन्ति । अष्टसिद्धिः साक्षात्कारस्य/निर्वाणस्य/समाधिमार्गे अल्पानां प्रोत्साहनानाम् अतिरिक्तं किमपि नास्ति। कुण्डलिन्यां चक्राः

Chakras refer to various energy centers in your body that correspond to specific nerve bundles and internal organs. The seven major chakras run from the base of your spine to the top of your head. If these energy centers get blocked, you may experience physical or emotional symptoms related to a particular chakra. 

The chakra system is a concept rooted in ancient Indian spiritual traditions. The power present in these chakras (power centres) energizes, balances and activates the entire body. These measures to remove physical, mental disorders and diseases and to awaken the inner consciousness are called Yoga. 

चक्राः भवतः शरीरे विविधान् ऊर्जाकेन्द्रान् निर्दिशन्ति ये विशिष्टानां तंत्रिकापुञ्जानां आन्तरिकअङ्गानाञ्च अनुरूपाः भवन्ति । सप्त प्रमुखचक्राः भवतः मेरुदण्डस्य आधारात् भवतः शिरःशिखरपर्यन्तं धावन्ति । यदि एते ऊर्जाकेन्द्राणि अवरुद्धानि भवन्ति तर्हि भवन्तः चक्रविशेषसम्बद्धानि शारीरिकाणि भावनात्मकानि वा लक्षणानि अनुभवितुं शक्नुवन्ति ।
