Nityananda Dasa is a rare gem of a teacher. He breaks down the material so it is accessible and understandable, even for a beginner. I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse this class. Take it, and you will be happy you did!!

I love this course, and am so happy to have found it. There is so much brilliantly crafted content. Video, audio, and PDFs are clear and engaging. Nityānanda's love for the language and culture shines through and is inspiring. He manages to transmit the information with enthusiasm, which I found compelling. I was motivated by his down to earth, humorous, and encouraging presentation of the material. His communication has been open, friendly, and kind. I am looking forward to getting feedback on my chanting recordings. I cannot recommend this course highly enough.

A few years ago I became interested in the ancient knowledge and wisdom of India, and was very soon introduced to various kinds of mantras, sacred verses and excerpts from the Vedic literature, which were mainly written in Sanskrit. However, I had almost no idea about how to pronounce the sounds of this language properly and was nonetheless extremely eager to learn. I didn’t want to invest much money in training with a private tutor and was wondering if I would be able to start learning at all – until I found Nityananda’s video course. Now Sanskrit pronunciation, which was like a dark mystery to me, became crystal clear, and under Nityananda’s expert guidance I managed to learn the right way to pronounce Sanskrit sounds and words (although the learning process has no end!) and discovered a lot about Sanskrit phonetics. Apart from being a highly-skilled specialist, Nityananda has got an extremely high qualification as a teacher; I really enjoyed the way he explains and breaks down even the most difficult parts. I am deeply satisfied with the training provided by Nityananda and look forward to starting his new Sanskrit Chanting Mastery course.
