Learn Bhagavad Geeta (Ch. 11 and 12) and Advanced Samskritam
Course Description:
In this course students will continue growing their knowledge of Bhagavad Geeta gained from the prior courses SAN1011 to SAN1033, to improve their grasp of Sanskrit Language structures, aptly illustrated through Shlokas of the Bhagavad Geeta from Chapter 11 and 12. Students will enhance their Sanskrit writing and speaking abilities.
Using special handouts, each verse of the Bhagavad Geeta will be expounded to unravel the inner meaning of the verse as well as grammatical structures of the language. Students will be able to more formally study Bhagavad Geeta in its native Sanskrit medium, at an advanced level compared with previous quarters.
