About the Classes

The Salient Features of this training are:

The Shatashloki Ramayana is composed of 100 shlokas. Students will learn to split each shloka and separate the name according to Sanskrit grammar, including the use of sandhi samasas, which will make recitation easier. Students will also be encouraged to understand the meaning of each Nama (name) based on our Puranas and recite the meaning of a specific shloka based on the correct context. They will grasp the significance and benefits of chanting. They would be able to envision and experience the Supreme’s divine philosophy as well as Sri Rama’s glory.

The most sacred 16 verses with in Sundarakanda will also be taught in this class. Sundara kanda is the fiftth of 8 kandas and forms the heart of Valmiki's Ramayana and focuses on the adventures of Hanuman, a devoted follower of Lord Rama.
