Sanskrit – Vanessa Graham

Vanessa is being taught Sanskrit by Peter Harrison and she would like to share the knowledge she has gained so far.  She is offering regular sessions before the Saturday lunch at each satsang.  Everyone is welcome. The sessions started at the February 2008 satsang.
The focus will be the correct pronunciation of Sanskrit as each vowel and consonant is articulated from a different part of the throat, mouth or lips.  Sounding is a very important part of Sanskrit, the sound carries it’s meaning, hence the need to correctly pronounce it.  It is so much more than just a language; it can deepen your spiritual understanding.  The Patanjali Sutras have been chosen to illustrate the points arising.
Vanessa wanted to read Sanskrit directly and this is what you can achieve yourself with regular practise.  Simple homework will be provided to encourage progression.
