Dear All,

There still are a number of slots open for this year’s Sanskrit Summer School.

Registration is open until May 15, after that only with a (relatively small) extra fee.

Background: two of our best PhDs over the past 25 years have emerged from this course!

You will earn a one year credit in these fast-paced classes, during nearly eight intense weeks.

As time allows, the cultural background of the sentences/stories we read will be provided.

The course prepares you for the (initial) use of Sanskrit in conversation with Pandits, for further reading and graduate research about Hindu & Buddhist Nepal and India.

Spend your summer in leafy Harvard Yard and enjoy the July 4th concert & fireworks across the river in Boston!

Colleagues, please let your students and others interested know!

Thanks,

Michael WItzel
