"My heartfelt dhanyawadha to Divya Ji, Lavanya Ji, and Ambi Ji for teaching us Sanskrit with immense dedication. Because of their efforts and thoughtful planning each week, i managed to learn to read and make small sentences in Sanskrit. Their teachings have set a sound foundation for me to carry on learning until I reach a stage where I can speak, write and read fluently. Dhanayawada again.”

Dr. Andal Thirumalai

(Higher Level 2, 2023-24)

"I had no intention of continuing with Sanskrit classes after completing IGCSE and HL1. The weekly schedule was demanding. But I was encouraged and convinced otherwise by my Gurus and peers. And another remarkable year has flown by! I knew I had to be committed, but the commitment of our Guru Sri Abnashji was much more than that of the students. He puts in hours of research every day, prepares materials for the session and home work, always punctual, willing to stay back after every class to answer questions, and always enthusiastic. His attitude put us to shame and forced us to pull up our socks ! In preparation for the exam he puts us through practice sessions with past papers and instills confidence in each and every one of us. What more can I ask for in a Guru? Gurubhyonamaha.”

"It has been a pleasure to be part of the Higher Level 2. Abnashji takes great pains to ensure that everyone understands and he goes to a ton of effort to prepare for the classes, analysing the texts and the grammar which makes it much easier for us to grasp. He also consults the students on session formats and content and keeps adjusting so that we cover what is of most value to everyone. Geetaji does a great job of organising the classes, sharing materials and information in a very prompt and timely manner.”

"Prior to joining this course I had studied the St. James books. This gave me a good foundation , but with the course I got a far better understanding of all the aspects of the language, as well getting regular inspiration and motivation.”

Vimi Woodun

(Sanskrit and Scriptures, 2023-24)

"So far, the teaching on our Scriptures has given me a valuable exposure & knowledge on the numerous prayers and sacred texts which exist in our Sanatan Dharma. The once weekly session unfolds the qualities and forms of our deities and their purpose/reason of their Avatara at a specific time. The sessions help enormously to connect with our own true self, simultaneously focusing on the Paramatma. Jayeshji (our Guruji) is young & very knowledgeable in Sanskrit. He happily shares his Divine knowledge with all of us. I have to also mention the dedication of Vatsalaji (Soni) who monitors the group and ensures everyone gets the chance to participate. I am proud to be part of Sanskrut Bhakti 🕉️”

"I started learning Sanskrit with Sanskrut-Bhakti in the middle of the pandemic, since then it has been a wonderful learning experience. After completing my IGCSE, I joined Scriptures classes and it is a great pleasure to learnt our ancient scriptures as well as Sanskrit language together. In two years, we have been through various scriptures and I am amazed to learn the philosophy, culture, heritage and the wisdom they provide us.

"I am absolutely thrilled to share our wonderful experience with the children's Sanskrit class! As parents, we always seek opportunities that enrich our children's lives and knowledge, and this class has been a perfect fit. Hemant Ji's approach is genuinely captivating, making each lesson engaging and enjoyable for kids of all ages. They incorporate fun activities and storytelling that not only keep the children attentive but also foster a deep appreciation for the Sanskrit language and its cultural significance. Even though it's run as volunteer activity, the supportive environment and the personalised attention each student receives are commendable. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about spreading the love for Sanskrit among young minds. This class is a wonderful resource for any parent looking to introduce their child to a rich linguistic heritage. We are so glad to have found this program and highly recommend it to others!”

"My daughter, Aadya (5 years old) has been attending the Sanskrit lessons since Sep 2023. The selfless effort put by SB teachers for every single child attending the session is so amazing and as a parent I can see remarkable difference in my child reading and understanding Sanskrit language at such an early age. I would definitely recommend SB classes for every child and at as early age as possible so that develop an understanding about our script and language from the very foundation.”

"Namaste… I wanted to learn Sanskrit for many years. I got the opportunity last year, but at the same time I was going through topsy and turvy because of my health issues…I almost lost my self confidence before joining this class. At the beginning I struggled a lot to memorise what I was learning. Missed many classes, but that determination was always there. So never gave up.. To be honest, this course has helped me a lot in finding myself… all the teachers and their selfless support has given me that extra boost to complete my exam…I may not get the good grades this year but I’ve gained the confidence to achieve it better in coming year in new course. Many thanks everyone for your support. I look forward to learn Sanskrit with you all.. many thanks SB team..🙏🙏”

"When my friend mentioned the Sanskrit iGCSE program, I promptly enrolled, and it turned out to be the best choice ever. The sessions have always started well on time, ensuring no time is wasted. Jayeshji has consistently been punctual and very patient in elucidating concepts, rendering this journey much simpler than anticipated. This curriculum has enhanced my Sanskrit comprehension, enunciation, syntax, and interpretation abilities significantly. I extend gratitude to the instructors Jayeshji, Ajitji, Markji, Andal ji, and Dr. Shashi Mehta ji for their dedication, energy, and endeavors in addressing our queries and facilitating the journey. I would like to also extend my heartiest gratitude for providing me an opportunity to recite Gita Shlokas on the Geeta Jayanti Mahotsav and also participating in the annual Sanskrut Bhakti event was great fun!!

Mark Ragupathy

(IGCSE, 2023-24)

"When I registered with Sanskrit Bhakti's IGCSE 2023/24 course, I was skeptical considering my limited Sanskrit Knowledge and the enormity of the syllabus. However attending the lessons, my doubts disappeared and confidence ensued as the online lesson plans were well laid out, and easily accessible with WhatsApp providing all the lesson materials. timetable, exercises, past papers with answers, recordings of the previous lessons, etc. Whilst, Bharatji provided excellent admin support and Jayesji assisted by Mayuk ji conducted twice-per-week tutoring step-by-step learning programs encouraging student participation and individual mentoring. Furthermore, optional tutorials were run by enthusiastic, experienced, and easily approachable tutors which helped with revision and doubt clearance. Sanskrit Bhakti's high calibre enabled me not only to achieve the highest grade on the exam but also progress to Higher Level course. I would strongly recommend it to any aspirant.”

"The teaching staff and support is second to none. I found them excellent, accessible, encouraging, and inspiring to do my best. We all are treated like a family in the Zoom classes which are enjoyable, and you are encouraged to participate fully. Their gentle push was enough to take the plunge and sit for GCSE exams. Glad I did that because it has made me more focussed, and enjoy the learning of this beautiful ancient language with analytical approach that challenges intellectually. All my Gurus work voluntarily with great humility. I am deeply grateful to their dedication in providing very pleasant ‘back to school’ experience for me after a long gap. I am very blessed to be part of the Sanskrit Bhakti Parivaar, who are passionate about learning and promoting the divine language, Sanskrit.”

"When I decided to take Sanskrit as a subject for my IGCSE I was really worried as there were no prescribed books and course content. But then I found Sanskrut bhakti while searching on the internet. The support and guidance all through my one year of preparation has been so good. Regular weekly classes which happens without fail. Ability to stay connected with your mentor and have all your doubts and questions answered. This has been one of my greatest learning experiences. Specifically I will like to thank my teachers Jayesh ji and Mark ji, who kept encouraging me and shared with me all the relevant material & knowledge which made my Sanskrit learning so much easier.

"Sanskrit Bhakti are doing a stellar job of teaching Sanskrit. I attended most of the biweekly classes on offer. They always began well on time and our teacher Shri Jayeshji slowly and patiently took the whole class from our dithering steps at first to a far more confident walk with our reading, pronunciations, grammar and translations. Thanks to all the teachers, Markji, Ajitji, Jayramji, and many more ,all voluntarily giving up their precious time and efforts to make sure that this language Sanskrit, that forms a bedrock of our culture and civilization, our philosophy and Dharma is passed on to the next generations.

"I thouroughly enjoyed this course. In the beginning everything seemed very difficult. But in due course, thanks to our teacher for his continuous encouragement and commitment and the admin staff, it all fell in place. There were lots of resources and past papers which helped. The recordings of the lessons helped to catch up in the event of being absent. It was a lot of work and commitment from my (student's) perspective but overall it has been a very satisfying experience. I'd recommend anyone who is willing to spend couple of hours every week on top of the lesson times, to take the course.”

"Having successfully completed the IGCSE in middle of 2022, our batch was encouraged to embark on the pilot HL1 course set up by St James in collaboration with Sanskrut Bhakti. This was because the traditional AS/ A level Sanskrit exams set by the Cambridge Board was being discontinued. The syllabus taught in HL1 was akin to AS level. Credit goes to all the karyakars who worked behind the scenes to make this transition possible. Our heartfelt gratitude to them and especially our Gurus for sustaining our interest in this mighty mother of all languages - Sanskrit. It is to the credit of all the voluntary teachers and administrators that HL1 Sanskrit course is now offered to the new batch of students ( 23-24) and the original HL1 students have moved onto HL2. As a n HL2 student I feel privileged to be given this tremendous and rare opportunity and feel a deep sense of gratitude to my Gurus , especially Abnashji , for ”
