Spoken Samskrit Classes

Shri Venkatesh will most probably be taking the classes; otherwise, he will arrange someone else from Aksharam to handle the classes. In any case, it does appear that the classes will start from 13th of February (Monday). Waiting for Shri Venkatesh's confirmation before going ahead with the rest of logistics/planning.

Spoken Samskrit Classes

We're waiting for Shri Venkatesh's response on the Spoken Samskrit Classes. God-willing, we should be able to begin them at least by 13th of Feb, as against the initially planned 6th Feb.
