ABOUT ME
मम विषये
I am a native Sanskrit speaker who has been speaking this language from the time I started speaking. My mother, Dr.Rupa, a Sanskrit scholar, a retired professor and Head of the Department of Sanskrit at the University of Mysore, made it a point to speak to her children only in Samskritam. So till this day I speak only in Samskritam with my mother and sister. I have done M.A in Sanskrit from Karnataka State open University and also MSc in Vedic Sciences from MIT IIKS Pune. I have been teaching Sanskrit to many people even when I was still in high school. But formally I worked as a Sanskrit teacher at Akshar Centre for Education, a Waldorf school in Chennai for 4 years. I worked as a Sanskrit Acharya at Agastya Gurukulam for 4 years. And I also teach Sanskrit at Pokhrama Foundation Academy, an NGO in the Pokhrama village of Bihar. I started taking online classes for kids and adults from 2019 and have completed 15 batches successfully. This language is divine and beautiful rich with poetry, literature, stories, science, mathematics, wisdom and spirituality. I am sure you will enjoy your journey with Sanskrit. It will give joy and peace to your intellect and your heart.
