About Prarambhik Sanskrit

Sanskrit is a key to Indian literature, culture, and knowledge. This course begins with language through use and conversation. Learners are introduced to Sanskrit in a simple, structured, and encouraging way so they can gradually begin to speak, read, write, and understand.

Why Learn Sanskrit Today?

Lakshmi Narayan

2025

English:
I am Lakshmi, seventy years of age. I attended the “Prarambhik Sanskrit” course conducted by Mr. Sateesh Kamat in Thane from May 5th to July 30th, 2025. This course has been a great blessing in my life, as it created a new sense of enthusiasm and interest in me. Our classes were held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I always looked forward to attending them each week with eagerness. Mr. Sateesh Kamat is a dedicated teacher who systematically covered the fundamental building blocks of the Sanskrit language. We began with the Devanagari script and essential everyday vocabulary, and gradually moved on to grammar. I found the study of Vibhaktis (noun declensions), Avyayas (indeclinables), and pronouns especially useful. Learning the application of suffixes further strengthened my sentence construction skills, enabling me to write essays with confidence. Through engaging stories and Shlokas, he kept every session lively and interesting. He also provided comprehensive study materials and regular assignments, which greatly helped in reinforcing our learning. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to begin their journey in Sanskrit.
