Dear Amba, 

From the "overwhelming response"  which you mentioned for previous editions of your course, it is clear that there is indeed a widely felt need for this kind of introduction to Sanskrit designed for a modern, general public, and esp. for graduate students in any subject in science and technology who want to be able to read Sanskrit texts  (philosophical, mathematical, ayurvedic) using available computational tools. 

A century ago it was natural and useful to encourage students in classical philology and ethnology to take an interest in Sanskrit and Sanskrit literature (Willem Caland 1906 on Sanskrit in relation to classical philology and ethnology), at present it is equally natural and useful to do the same for students in science and technology.  

Wishing you and your team much success, this year again, with this course developed at the University of Hyderabad in collaboration with INRIA, Paris, in its updated set-up (pre-recorded courses and live discussions),

Jan Houben

Dear list members,

This is an announcement of the Online Certificate Course on 

Samsādhanī – Praveśikā:
Learning Sanskrit using Computational Tools

During 2019 and 2020-21 we  offered this course online, and there was an overwhelming response for it. In response to several requests, we decided to offer it again in online mode, this time with pre-recorded lessons, and live online discussion/interactive sessions every weekend.
