Welcome to Spoken Sanskrit Series! This is a MOOC series produced by students at Columbia University. By initiating this program, we would like to take part in the Sanskrit Revival Movement, and introduce the seemingly intimidating language in a very approachable and accessible way to our daily.
In our first episode "Basic Introductions", we introduced a couple of words and phrases. Here is a list of them:
Hello: namo nama:
My name is Abhinav: mama nāma abhinava:
What is your name?: bhavata: nāma kim?
How are you?: bhavān katham asti?
I’m doing well: aham samyak asmi
Thank you: dhanyavāda:
Nice to meet you: melanena bahu santoṣa:

In an era when most students who are forced to learn Sanskrit as second or third language in a few schools in India, are cribbing and cursing why they have to learn a dead language, hats off to you Abhinav and Yang for going all out to promote the great language ! All the best ! Will eagerly await the forthcoming videos -)

Probably because there not taught why they should learn. If I was told is school there is a language that’s more scientific than any other and so precise you can convey anything, I would have understood there are a lot of things we know that have been lost that I can learn if I learn Sanskrit and interpret the words the right way. Shiva will bless anyone who attempts to undertake this language .

to understand and study bufdhism you do not need to study sanskrit. the utterances of the Buddha where originally compiled in pali, only afterwards translated into sanskrit. There are excellent translations available in print and online on sutta central. just google sutta central. they also have an excelleng free app. 🙏 buddha saranam gacchami, dhamma saranam gacchami, sangha saranam gacchami i bow to the buddha, i bow to the dhamma, i bow to the sangha 🙏

There are 3 crore students who learn Samskrit in school, college & veda pathashalas (though majority of them do not speak). "The number is still decreasing "...... But actually the number of volunteers is increasing day by day. So We, karyakartas, should not give a destitute look for the language. Let us say that "the goal to reach may be in crores and the reality is in lakhs yet , the number is INCREASING day by day"....... एषः मम विनम्रा प्रार्थना | वदतु संस्कृतम् , जयतु भारतम्

Dear Sri Abhinav Seetharaman, great teaching with immense patience. I liked every bit of this class. I am recommending this to my colleagues. I studied sanskrit as my second language during my 8th to Xth standard and also in my X!std in Bangalore. My exposure to Sanskrit has only been through the musical compositions of the trinity of karnatak music and the hymns of Adi shankaracharya and that of Siddantha Shikhamani of Shivayogi shivacharya, exponent of shakthi vishishta advaitha philosophy. I liked your Ted talk too. God bless you.
