Pãtašãla – Sanskrit Classes

Ganesa Pãtašãla offers Sanskrit classes for Children (All levels) every Saturday

Objective: To inspire a love for Samskritam. This is accomplished by teaching Samskritam songs and šlokas. As the students progress, they develop the skill to understand simple šlokas and engage in simply conversation in Samskritam. This encourages them to continue learning this ancient and rich language.

Samskritam classes are conducted in collaboration with Samskrita Bharati USA, whose mission is to “Promote Samskritam as an everyday language.” Samskritam is taught in a highly interactive method where there is an emphasis on conversation. The teachers have all learned Samskritam through Samskrita Bharati and have received various levels of teachers’ training.

The classes are taught in different levels – Samskritam is taught and learned the way a child learns from those around him/her – by just listening, understanding and talking. Reading and writing comes only as a second step.
