This introductory webinar offers an accessible first step into the study of Saṃskṛtam and shows how learning Sanskrit can open new dimensions of engagement with Hindu knowledge traditions.
 
Join Sanskrit Faculty Brindha Aangarai Venkataraman for an engaging introduction to the foundations of Sanskrit. We’ll explore how the language is structured, how letters and sounds come together to form words, and how a systematic approach can make Sanskrit approachable for the beginning student. The session will also introduce basic vocabulary, pronunciation, sentence formation, and the connection between recitation and understanding.
