Why Learn Sanskrit?

Sanskrit is part of the Indo-European language family, one of the world’s earliest and most influential language groups.
It is one of the three earliest ancient documented languages, alongside Vedic Sanskrit, Mycenaean Greek, and Ancient Greek.
Sanskrit is the sacred language of Hinduism, the foundation of classical Hindu philosophy, and an important language for Buddhist and Jain texts.
Historically, it served as a link language across South Asia and became the medium of religion, culture, and intellectual life across Asia in the medieval era.

By joining this course, you won’t just be learning a language—you’ll be connecting with one of the oldest living traditions of knowledge, spirituality, and culture in the world.
