Dear Sanskair Lovers,
 
Samskrita Bharati has come up with a new scheme for spreading the knowledge of Samskrita In the society. It is named as the-
GEETA SHIKSHANA KENDRAM
learning Sanskrit through examples from Geeta initially followed by learning Geeta in Sanskrit medium. 
 
Important points regarding the course-
 
It will be a set of four courses named- 
1- Geeta Sopanam -1 (Learning Samskritam through Geeta)
2- Geeta Sopanam- 2 (Learning Samskritam through Geeta)
3- Geeta Pravesha- 1 (Learning concepts of Geeta in Samskrita Medium)
4- Geeta Pravesha- 2 (Learning actual Geeta in Samskrita medium)
 
 Ideally each of the above course is to be taught for 4 months for 6 hours per week followed by a 15 days break before the start of the next course, thus completing the entire curriculum in 18 months. 
 
The teacher may however according to his/her convenience alter the course period and number of hours to be taught per week.
 
For example, to suit his/her availability and the availability of the students a teacher may decide to run each course for 6 months for 4 hours per week, conducting the course only in the week ends.
 
We plan to start such courses everywhere in  India from July 2009 
 
Salient features-
 
The Samskrita Sambhashana Andolana started by Samskritabharati will step further with this course. 
For all these years we preached Samskritena Sambhashanam i.e making Day -to-day conversations in Samskritam. Now the next step for us is Samskritena-Shashtra-Adhyayanam. i.e Learning scriptures in Samskrita Medium only.
Most of Samskrita Lovers wish to study Samskritam in order to study the Bhagwad Geeta. This course will fulfill their wish. 
 

It will be a unique course where Geeta could me learnt in the language in which Lord Krishna recited it, bypassing the need for studying its translation in other language. 
 
Who will take the course?
 We all will do it! 
All of us who have basic/advanced knowledge of Samskritam will take the first course  or even advanced courses according to our ability.
