In one weekend, learn to introduce yourself, form simple Sanskrit sentences, and understand your first shloka - even if you’ve never studied a word of Sanskrit before.
Detecting your local class time…
Real adult beginners, learning live from home.
It was never a lack of interest. You love the mantras, the yoga, the Bhagavad Gita, the sheer beauty of the Sanskrit language. But every book you opened began with dense grammar tables, every app faded after a week, and every YouTube playlist left you exactly where you started - with no visible progress and no one to ask.
What’s been missing is not effort. It’s a structured beginning, taught live by a patient teacher who starts exactly where you are. This workshop is that beginning - two calm mornings where you don’t memorise tables, you actually make sentences.
“I’ve always wanted to learn Sanskrit” - this is where that finally begins.
A quiet morning, a patient teacher, and a real first step.
This is a beginner’s foundation - the very basics of how Sanskrit works, taught so you can use them the same day. By Sunday evening, you’ll be forming simple sentences on your own.
Build simple Subject-Object-Verb sentences in Sanskrit - singular and plural - from the very first session, not months from now.
Learn to greet, introduce yourself and speak the everyday courtesies of Sanskrit - the confidence of your first real spoken words.
Easy, useful verbs, the days of the week, numbers, and how to say today, tomorrow and yesterday - vocabulary you can put to work at once.
He, she, it; the genders of words; and how to tell the time - the small building blocks that make sentences come alive.
Read and understand a simple Sanskrit shloka - a subhāṣitam - and taste the quiet joy of grasping a verse in its original words.
A solid, honest beginning - the foundational concepts you can carry forward into deeper study whenever you’re ready.
Two live sessions, each building gently on the last. No grammar tables to memorise - just clear, spoken Sanskrit you use as you learn it.
No need to know the alphabet - every note and explanation comes with transliteration in Roman script.
Sharvari teaches Vedanta Philosophy as visiting faculty at the University of Mumbai. Over seven years she has taught Sanskrit to students from every kind of background - from retirees in Pune to working professionals in California - and has a rare gift for making a language often thought forbidding feel approachable, joyful and alive.
Sanskrit is not difficult. It is only new to you. We start with simple pictorial method and plenty of patience, and step by step the language begins to feel familiar. By the end of the weekend, every learner has spoken a full sentence. That small moment is the one they remember. Sharvari Pitale
From first-time beginners who arrived unsure and left making sentences, here is what previous learners had to say.
