* Sanskrit "Science of Vibration": Introductory Course with Bharati Devi
10:45AM-12:45PM* & 3:30-5:30PM
* Includes 10:45-11:30AM open session, available without registration.
Tuition: $180 for 10 classes (single class $20). Study sheets included.
The course is taught through the unique, interactive method developed by Ashram Founder Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, with an emphasis on chanting and rhythm. Students will get effective practice in pronunciation and a good introduction to the devanāgarī script as well as to basic Sanskrit grammar, including verbs, nouns, pronouns, sentence structure and sandhi. Also included are general philosophy and psychology of language. Students should plan for daily homework of about one hour, especially if interested in learning to read and write devanāgarī.
This course can be an important step in acquiring direct access to the liberating wisdom contained in the ancient Sanskrit sources. It should be combined with study of the original texts of Yoga-Vedānta offered daily as part of the Ashram’s morning programs, 9:45-10:30AM, and available freely.
An important principle to be realized is that the essence of Sanskrit is in its sound.
What to bring: a lined note book (8-1/2 x 11 in.), a 3-ring binder and a smooth writing pen, not too thin.
