Learning Sanskrit<\/span><\/h3>\n

Learning Sanskrit requires time, patience, and frequent repetition. I have been studying it with great joy since 2018.<\/p>\n

The book Yog\u0101vat\u0101ra\u1e47am<\/em> by my teacher Zo\u00eb Slatoff and the online courses she offers through the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies are, in my experience, an ideal way for yoga practitioners to begin learning Sanskrit.<\/p>\n

In her book, Zo\u00eb uniquely combines the traditional approach to learning Sanskrit\u2014through mantras, translations, and chanting\u2014with an academic approach. It certainly helps that Zo\u00eb has over twenty years of experience teaching Ashtanga Yoga, and her examples and exercises often relate directly to yoga practice.<\/p>\n

Zo\u00eb\u2019s book also serves as the foundation for the introductory workshops and private lessons I offer.<\/p>\n

Introductory workshops for Sanskrit<\/h3>\n

For several years, I have been offering private lessons and an annual introductory course in Sanskrit.<\/p>\n

During the introductory weekend, you will learn to speak, read, and write the alphabet, and by the end, you will be able to write simple words in Devan\u0101gar\u012b<\/em>.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you enjoy it and are willing to dedicate time for regular practice, I am happy to guide you further, offering in-depth Sanskrit learning through one-on-one classes either on-site or online. If you commit for a longer period, more affordable package options are available.<\/p>\n

The word yoga in\u00a0Devan\u0101gar\u012b<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ min_height=”567px” custom_margin=”117px||42px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The origin of Sanskrit<\/span><\/h3>\n

The word <\/span>\u00a0Sanskrit or in transliteration\u00a0<\/span>sa\u1e43sk\u1e5bta\u00a0<\/span><\/i> means \u201eperfected, holy\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

There exist many myths around Sanskrit. So the creator god Brahma is said to have created Sanskrit first, and then through the power of the sounds of Sanskrit this universe. According to another myths, the wise seers first perceived the mantras, and only as a second step derived Sanskrit from the mantras.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to tradition, it is therefore extremely important to pronounce vedic mantras in the correct intonation for them to be effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me personally, Sanskrit has through its sounds a direct effect on the body \u2013 independent of the understanding of the individual words, just through the vibration. Often, I have the impression that deep down the meaning has arrived long before my mind is able to grasp it.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The language Sanskrit<\/h3>\n

Sanskrit belongs to the indoeuropean languages, just like English, German, Greek and Latin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its importance lies in the fact that already the eldest hymns still known today, the vedas, were sung in Sanskrit (\u201cvedic Sanskrit\u201d, as of about 1500 B.C.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Sanskrit was systematized relatively early, by\u00a0<\/span>Pan\u012b\u1e47\u012b<\/em>. He wrote a grammar of \u201cclassical Sanskrit\u201d already in the 5<\/span>th<\/span> century B.C..<\/span><\/p>\n

Transliteration<\/span><\/h3>\n

There are different systems of transliteration, e.g. the romanisation of Sanskrit. The\u00a0International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration<\/b>\u00a0(IAST<\/b><\/a>)<\/a>\u00a0is considered to be the academic standard. It has been used for more than 100 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to represent sounds that have no correspondence in the latin alphabet, so-called diacritical signs are added to the letters, i.e. the hyphen above the a, i and u means that these vowels are pronounced two times as long as those without the hyphen.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Devan\u0101gar\u012b<\/em><\/h3>\n

Originally, Sanskrit was only passed on orally. Still today, there are priests who argue against the written transfer of for instance the vedic hymns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, these days it is written in different scriptures, since about a millennium most often in <\/span>Devan\u0101gar\u012b.<\/p>\n

The word \u201eDevan\u0101gar\u012b\u201c is composed of the words \u201edeva\u201c (god, gods) and \u201en\u0101gar\u012b\u201c (city, area, residence). According to Zo\u00eb, a possible translation is \u201cscripture of the gods\u201d. It is often also translated as divine city writing.<\/p>\n

Devan\u0101gar\u012b is written in syllables, e.g. each letter represents a syllable. There are 49 letters that are put in a certain order according to whether they are a vowel or a consonant and where within the mouth the sound is originating.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For Germans, pronounciation of the transliteration is relatively straight forward, with a few exceptions. For English speakers, it is important to learn the exact pronounciation of all letters, as there are many differences. For instance, the “i” in English would be pronounced like “eye”, whereas in Sanskrit like the English vowel “e”.<\/p>\n

Die Schrift ist in 49 Silben gegliedert, je nachdem, ob welcher Stelle im Mund der Klang entsteht und ob es sich um einen Vokal oder um eine mit einem Konsonanten beginnende Silbe handelt.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_audio audio=\"https:\/\/ashtanga-yoga-plus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Alphabet-komplett-norm.mp3\" title=\"Das Sanskrit Alphabet\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\" background_color=\"#7eb561\"][\/et_pb_audio][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.6.5\" custom_margin=\"0px||||false|false\" hover_enabled=\"0\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]\n\nIch selbst lerne seit 2018 mit viel Freude Sanskrit.

In dem Buch verbindet Zo\u00eb auf meines Wissens einmalige Weise den traditionellen Ansatz zum Erlernen von Sanskrit - \u00fcber Mantren, \u00dcbersetzungen etc. und Chanten - mit dem akademischen Ansatz. Es hilft nat\u00fcrlich, dass Zo\u00eb seit mehr als zwanzig Jahren auch Ashtanga Yoga unterrichtet und dadurch ihre Beispiele und \u00dcbungen konkret auch Bez\u00fcge zur Yogapraxis haben.\n\n \n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][et_pb_image src=\"https:\/\/ashtanga-yoga-plus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Yog\u0101vat\u0101ra\u1e47am.jpg\" title_text=\"Yog\u0101vat\u0101ra\u1e47am\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\"1_2,1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.6.5\" hover_enabled=\"0\" sticky_enabled=\"0\"]\n\nSeit Herbst 2019 biete ich Privatunterricht und Einf\u00fchrungskurse in Sanskrit an auf der Basis des Buchs von Zo\u00eb Slatoff: Yog\u0101vat\u0101ra\u1e47am.\n\nIm Rahmen des Einf\u00fchrungswochenendes lernst Du das Alphabet sprechen, lesen und schreiben und kannst anschlie\u00dfend einfache W\u00f6rter in Devan\u0101gar\u012b<\/em> schreiben.\n\nWenn es Dir Freude macht und Du Dir die Zeit zum regelm\u00e4\u00dfigen \u00dcben nimmst, begleite ich Dich anschlie\u00dfend gerne dabei, tiefer in das Sanskrit einzutauchen, je nach Zahl, Durchhalteverm\u00f6gen und zeitlicher Verf\u00fcgbarkeit der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer in Einzelunterricht online oder regelm\u00e4\u00dfig als Kleingruppe.\n\nIch habe auch mit Hilfe von Flashcards Deluxe<\/a> ein ausgezeichnetes Instrumentarium entwickelt, um das Lernen der Buchstaben, des Schreibens, der Vokabel und auch der verschiedenen Verse und Mantren erleichtert.\n\n <\/em>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\"][et_pb_cta title=\"Einf\u00fchrungswochenende Sanskrit\" button_url=\"#\" button_text=\"Jetzt buchen\" _builder_version=\"4.4.8\" header_level=\"h3\" header_font_size=\"29px\" header_line_height=\"1.3em\" background_color=\"#7eb561\" height=\"100%\" custom_padding=\"42px||||false|false\" custom_css_promo_title=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"]\n\n\"\"\n
