(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 grateful to all the teachers and admin support, specially Abnash ji , Jayesh ji and Vatsala ji for excellent teaching and support.”

"Jayesh ji and Vatsala ji, I have learned a lot attending Sanskrit scripture classes. I have learned Sanskrit grammar, pronunciation, and where to pause, as well as meter stops. Jayshree ji is very approachable, and the class is easy-going. The setup is excellent, making learning easy. I would recommend anyone interested in learning to join the class.”

"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.”
