The best international presentation of Sanskrit, clear and easy to learn!

Misha Mussinov

It's almost a year now that I am learning Sanskrit from Nityananda das. Finally, I found what I was looking for! For many ( about 30!)years I was trying to catch bites and pieces of Sanskrit here and there, and no one has given my any systematic knowledge. I need the Sanskrit for my everyday studies , including the pronunciation of it. And - here it is, the best presentation available, with the teacher speakind spotless English, in a friendly manner, with very systematic aproach and very clear pronunciation. A lot of video , audio and written materials provided - just start using it and - enjoy!

Well laid out, very informative, easy to follow

Tessa Gallant

This is a multi-media rich experience from start to finish. The lessons are laid out logically and the material is well structured. The tutor's personalized responses to assignments are helpful, encouraging and greatly assist the learner in gaining confidence in chanting. Each lesson carefully guides the student through auditory and visual cues. I appreciate being able to test my knowledge as the course progresses. I highly recommend this program, it overdelivers and it's provided me with much more information than I ever imagined. Thanks for putting this together, it's been a lot of fun.
