Weekend Sanskrit Retreat

As part of our continued effort to learn, practice & promote our rich cultural heritage, DESI, UMD Samskritam and Samskrit Bharati present a weekend Sanskrit retreat from July 17th (Friday) to July 19th (Sunday).

Prerequisite: NO prior knowledge of Samskritam is expected of the participants. Participants should be able to speak any of the Indian languages.

What to expect: Samskrit Bharati taught similar courses to over 4 million people, through more than 10,000 teachers. The course is interactive and is designed such that by the end of the course, one will be able to have some basic conversations in Samskritam. From our previous experience, most people achieve this.

Course Material is available here. Participants are requested to bring print-outs of the course materials.

Registration & Fee: Course is FREE but registration is mandatory, as we need to arrange for facilities & food.

Please register asap

Dates:
July 17th (Friday): 6pm-9pm
July 18th & 19th : 9am-5pm

Venue: Room: 3258 A V Williams Building, University of Maryland

Lunch: We plan to provide FREE vegetarian lunch on Saturday & Sunday. Please let us know if you would like to contribute. (desi.umd@gmail.com)

Indian Philosophy: We highly recommended this course to everyone participating (or interested) in our Indian Philosophy courses & study groups.**

**Last semester, DESI invited Dr Hebbar (faculty at George Washington U) for a course on Indian Philosophy. The course was overbooked & was very well received (click here for more information). We are planning to offer more courses in Fall semester. And a study circle is starting from July 11th.
