Crash-course in Sanskrit part 3



Mundakopanishad with bhAShya



श्रीगुरुभ्यो नमः। Namaste.
(This may be forwarded as felt appropriate till 15th April 2020)

मुण्डकोपनिषद्भाष्य will be taught यथाशक्ति online via FreeConferenceCall or Zoom in Kannada-Havigannada and maybe some English mix by Praveen R. Bhat, from 1130-1230hrs IST daily, except Thursday and maybe some other days, starting this Friday, 17th April 2020. The course is free; donations are welcome, but only from gRhasthas or those earning.

From prior experiences, following are the strict eligibilty criteria:
--First and foremost, ability to attend the live pATha daily at given timings with saucha, not via recordings and without multitasking!
--Average Sanskrit knowhow and, obviously, Kannada with some dialect mix with an interest in mokSha-shAstra that is not academic.
--nityasandhyA at least once; in the case of a woman, if married, the husband or if unmarried, the father should be doing nityasandhyA. In other words, "I am spiritual, not religious" requests will be ignored. :-)
--shraddhA in the shruti and advaita-sampradAya.
--Studied at least basic Vedanta such as tattvabodha/ vedAntasAra from the sampradAya. Self-learning through books doesn't count.

Those interested may kindly send their request to join the pATha with their full name and responding to all the above terms by mentioning how they are placed w.r.t. each of the five terms in the comment with their email id or Whatsapp phone number.

PS: Adding your gotra, vedashAkhA and pravara would be beneficial.

धन्योस्मि। गुरुपादुकाभ्याम्।

Crash-course in Sanskrit part 1



Sanskrit tuitions



After much thought and ignoring suggestions, finally I started teaching Sanskrit for tuition. Sanskrit is neither something that masses care to learn, much less pay for it. Although I don't feel good that I have to charge for to teach Sanskrit vyAkarana which is a vedAMga, its Apaddharma for me now! I advertised at two places and got a couple of students:

Some of my earlier or current Sanskrit and/ or Vedanta students have been kind enough to leave me a review on the former. Many thanks to them, though its exaggerated. :-)

I'll also start posting recordings of my classes and completed courses here with an irritating request to donate. :-)
