* Sanskrit "Science of Vibration": Introductory Course with Bharati Devi
Bio: Bharati Devi

Mon-Fri only, 10:45AM-12:45PM -- no class on Mon July 4th
Includes 10:45-11:45AM open session (available without registration).

Tuition: 2-1/2 week Course $250 / single class $20
Study materials are 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 in the devanagari script, as well as an introduction to basic Sanskrit grammar including verbs, nouns, pronouns, sentence structure, sandhi, etc. Also included are general philosophy and psychology of language. Students should plan for daily homework of no less than one hour.

This course can be an important step in acquiring direct access to the liberating wisdom contained in the ancient Sanskrit sources. For best results, it should be combined with study of the original texts of Yoga-Vedanta, offered daily as part of the Ashram’s core program (9:45-10:30AM) and available freely.

An important principle to be realized: The essence of Sanskrit is in the sound.

Note: Special discount for participants in our educational (ISEWU) courses longer than two days: 15% off Ashram overnight guest rate.
Or, when contributing 1 hr of work per day: 25% reduction on guest rate.
