Let me tell why I think so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each one of us must have got this question sometime or other. Yes, if your mother tongue is any <em>Bharatiya<\/em> language and if you can speak your mother tongue. It is a bonus if you can read or write in mother tongue. Because, most <em>Bharatiya<\/em> languages are rooted in <em>sa\u1e43sk\u1e5bta\u1e43<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your connect with your mother tongue is broken, you may find learning <em>sa\u1e43sk\u1e5bta\u1e43<\/em> difficult. Another reason you may not agree with me is if you already have knowledge of mother tongue and even tried to learn<em> sa\u1e43sk\u1e5bta\u1e43<\/em> but gave up after a few futile attempts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For learning something new, the key is the interest and the resources.   I have spent a considerable time wandering (window shopping) to find out which is the best course for learning <em>sa\u1e43sk\u1e5bta\u1e43<\/em>.  There are a lot of courses available and each one of them has its own unique approach and each one is great in its own way.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtesy <em>Chinmaya International Foundation<\/em> (<em>CIF<\/em>), I found <em>Sanskrit for Shastra-Study<\/em> Course by <em>CIF<\/em> on YouTube taught by <em>Brahmachari Ved Chaitanya<\/em> <em>ji<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I realized that learning one Sanskrit verse a week is not a big deal. In this series, I am just repeating what has been taught by <em>Shri Vedji<\/em> as part of <em>Sanskrit for Shastra-Study<\/em> Course by <em>CIF<\/em>.
