Enhance your Proficiency in Sanskrit Grammar and Composition
Grammar and Composition are two crucial components which help cultivate proficiency in a language. Bearing this in mind, this live webinar course covers the key grammar concepts of Sandhi-s (modification of letters / sounds), Samaasa-s (compound words) and dhaaturoopa-s (verbal forms). It also focusses on improving the sentence construction and writing skills in Sanskrit, through a series of essays. Taught by Dr. Sowmya Krishnapur, this course is aligned with the syllabus of 3rd paper of the 3rd level (Vichakshana) of Chittoor exams. However, it is sure to benefit all intermediate learners of Sanskrit, whether or not they are appearing for the Chittoor exams.

No, this is a course that would be helpful for any student learning Sanskrit at an intermediate level, in a formal or informal setting. After a couple of years of learning, it is common for learners to start experiencing difficulty with grammar concepts, and feeling overwhelmed by the details. This course covers key concepts in an applied manner such that learners can grasp the foundational concepts easily and gain the confidence to move further in their pursuit of Sanskrit.
Incidentally, the course is also aligned with the syllabus of Level 3 Paper 3 of the Chittoor Exam Series. One of the key missions of Vyoma is to provide support for exams conducted by various Sabha-s like the Chittoor Sabha, Surasaraswathi Sabha, etc. In line with this mission, extensive support would be provided in the course for students preparing for the Chittoor exams. However, even those who do not want to write the Chittoor exams are welcome to attend the course and build a strong foundation in Sanskrit grammar.
A key feature of the Chittoor exam syllabus is the introduction of Samskrita kavyas right from the first level. All the genres of literature such as Padya, Gadya, Champu, Nataka, etc are covered in the syllabus in a graded manner, giving students exposure to authentic usage of Samskrita language by various poets of yore.
The syllabus also introduces elective Shaastras at Level 5 and Level 6. Students can choose from 9 shaastra options including Alankara, Vyakarana, Tarka, Mimamsa, Vedanta, Jyotisha, Ayurveda, Dharmashastra and Purana.
