Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], Jan. 13 -- Immersive program begins January 18, 2026; open to learners worldwide
Vidyasvam, an educational platform dedicated to traditional knowledge systems, has announced the launch of its new online Samskrta workshop, designed for learners seeking a structured and concept-driven introduction to the language. The program begins on January 18, 2026, and will be conducted every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM IST, enabling participants from across the world to join.
Rooted in the classical framework of Panini's Astadhyayi, the workshop offers an immersive learning experience that blends traditional grammar with contemporary pedagogy. Unlike conventional memorization-heavy approaches, Vidyasvam's methodology emphasizes conceptual clarity, analytical thinking, and gradual progression from fundamentals to text interpretation.
The workshop is built around a highly interactive online format that includes guided instruction, regular practice sessions, peer discussions, and mentoring support. Participants learn foundational grammar concepts such as varna, prakrti, pratyaya, sandhi, and karaka theory, building the skills necessary to analyze and interpret Samskrta independently.
The workshop spans about one year, covering more than 100 hours of lectures. Approximately 60+ hours focus on grammar and language learning, while the remaining hours are dedicated to practical application through classical texts.
Application is a core element of the program. Learners engage with classical material, particularly from texts like Valmiki's Ramayana, enabling them to apply grammatical concepts in real contexts and gain confidence in reading traditional literature.
Course Outcomes
Participants completing the workshop can expect to:
- Build a strong foundation in Samskrta grammar
- Understand and work with key Paninian sutras
- Apply concepts through authentic textual material
- Read and interpret Samskrta texts with greater independence
- Progress confidently toward advanced Samskrta studies
Who Can Join
The workshop is open to all motivated learners. No prior knowledge of Samskrta is required.
Participants should be able to read Devanagari script, possess basic English proficiency, and have an analytical mindset. Full attendance and consistent practice are essential for gaining the most from the program.
The workshop is led by Dr. Sridhar Subbanna, a scholar whose work bridges engineering, computational sciences, and Samskrta. His doctoral research examines parallels between Panini's Astadhyayi and modern concepts in AI, offering learners unique insights into the scientific sophistication of the language.
He has taught Samskrta using the Paninian method to hundreds of students, including professionals and researchers from diverse backgrounds. His structured, logic-based teaching style has been widely appreciated by learners.
Vidyasvam's Samskrta program has received exceptional feedback from participants who highlight the clarity of instruction, systematic approach, and meaningful engagement with classical texts.
