Dear Sanskrit Student,

Parama Pujya Sadyojat Shankarashram Swamiji's love and reverence for Sanskrit is well known.
Swamiji, in His pravachana-s, has always touched upon the language's beauty and its capacity
to express a thought. Following His instructions that Sanskrit learning must be made easy and
freely available to everybody who desires to learn it, a group of sadhaka-s worked to formulate
a Step by Step learning programme.

The lessons that you see on our website are designed to take a student from 'I do not know a
word of Sanskrit' to ' I can't believe that I can decipher this on my own!'
We help you do this through tutorials and exercises in sentence construction. Answers to the
exercises are also given for you to cross-check the work that you have done.
Whenever you come across a teaching point that you do not understand, please write to us
and your queries will be answered.

We hope that we have, through our lessons, been able to crack the general notion that
Sanskrit is difficult; it is definitely not. Like any other topic, all it requires is a respect for the
subject and a willingness to learn. And we are here to help you every step of the way.

The last few years have seen a tremendous revival in enthusiasm for learning the language. We
thank all the volunteer contributors of stories, text and other content and acknowledge the
inspiration and materials derived from ancient texts. We also thank every student who has
written in with queries or appreciative messages. This keeps up our enthusiasm!
