1. STEP 1 -  (A) Sambhashana Shibiram  - 10 Day Free Face to Face Spoken Sanskrit Camps in your locality

      These are free 10 day courses run by Samskrita Bharati volunteers in our area on-demand.  These classes are always run face to face and require 2 hours of your time on these 10 continuous days. This face to face instruction in a group is very effective. Please remember the teachers are all volunteers taking time off from their schedules. The instruction is extremely simple, interactive and highly effective.  The instruction is also through Samskritham.  People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend these classes.   At the end of these classes you will be able to construct basic sentences and speak and will be able to understand another samskritam speaker well.

      In Marathahalli, generally we expect at-least 10 committed students to come together, and contact us for a class to be organized.  The dates, time and location for each 10day camp may differ based on the student group.   If you are interested and do not have a group of people you may register and state your convenient times and locations in the form. We will communicate when we are able to conduct classes.

      In other areas - such as Aksharam, Giringar - Shibirams are constantly ongoing and you may participate in those if you are live there or able  to travel to those areas.

     As on November 2018:   One class being planned in November December. (Register here)
