srImathE rAmAnujAya namah

dear devotees,

Vedics is pleased to announce the start of basic 
Samskrit classes from this Sunday, November 23rd. Data

about the class follows at the end of this email.

The first class is an introduction to the course, and 
is very important as the teacher, srI deekshit svAmi, 
intends to ask each participant in the class about 
their expectations, and tailor the course for the 
subsequent classes based on that.

The first class will be free. For the first module, 
VEDICS suggests a donation of $100. The donation will 
be used to show our token of respect to srI.
deekshit svAmi, and will also be used for temple
kainkaryams in India.

Please register ahead of time so that we can ask for 
the correct number of lines for the conference bridge.

If you have questions about the class, please
email them to samskrit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

We remain,
servants of rAmAnuja,
Vedics Volunteers

3. Module 1 = Basic Samsskrit will run for 4 months
(approx. 17 classes); Module 2 will follow after

quick introduction from participants
15 - 40 minutes: Simple verbs and nouns

The material for this class will be uploaded after the

Preparation needed AHEAD of class:
(i) Basic familiarity with samskrit letters/syllables.
(ii) Think about what you want out of this class; srI 
deekshit svami will ask for that information in the 
first 15 minutes from each participant.


Important notes:
Familiarity with the samskrit letters is NOT an 
absolute must. srI Deekshit svAmi feels that one can 
write down the samskrit words using english script, 
and still learn the basics of the language.
