In Level 4 we will study chapters 7 and 8 of Yogāvatāraṇam: The Translation of Yoga. We will finish Part I, learning the future tense, pronouns, and more sandhi rules and then start Part II, beginning to learn nouns ending with simple consonants and the athematic verbal classes, starting with the 2nd and 3rd gaṇas. This will allow us to continue to chant and translate verses from yoga-related texts as well as a couple of verses from the Upaniṣads and a series of verses attributed to Śaṅkarācarya, widening the range of what we can read and understand as we learn new grammar together.
COURSE DETAILS
Course Video
Videos are one of the most important parts of an online course.
Our courses offer two distinct types of video.
- Video on demand. Core videos for your course available to watch at any time. Audio versions are also available for download.
- Live Zoom sessions. We have six Zoom sessions open to all our students. These cover a range of topics. They let you explore other areas of study, and to meet tutors and students from other courses. Recordings are also made available after the session has ended.
Level 4 begins with a study of chapters 7 and 8 of Yogāvatāraṇam: The Translation of Yoga (excerpts included). This combines traditional Indian and Western academic methods of learning Sanskrit. We start with the future tense and pronouns, and then conclude Part I of the book with a sandhi review.
Moving on to Part 2 we learn consonant-ending nouns as well as verbs from some of the athematic classes.
We will continue to chant and translate verses from yoga-related texts as well as verses from the Upaniṣads and a series of verses attributed to Śaṅkarācarya.
