Why choose the book

Root sounds. Truth vibrations.

Samskritam means 'refined' or 'sculpted to perfection.' It is neither a man-made invention nor a mere facilitator of communication — it is a cultured language for the attainment of culture. Every syllable and word is derived from its root; the sounds of Sanskrit are root-sounds bearing truth-vibrations.

In Devabhasha one finds beautiful songs, stories, skits, nursery rhymes and verses of many kinds — materials that enrich the student and inspire them to delve deep into the splendours of the language.

The programme

A curriculum rooted in a school, tested in classrooms.

Pedagogy

The Devabhasha Sanskrit curriculum has been devised by Prof. Sampadananda Mishra for Integral Publishers, so schools can teach conversational Sanskrit from Playgroup to Class VIII.

Curriculum

Sanskrit — Samskritam, meaning 'refined' or 'sculpted to perfection' — is a cultured language. Every syllable carries a distinct vibration, harmonising speech, thought and the deeper energies of the universe.

The Pioneer

Seth M. R. Jaipuria School, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow began teaching Sanskrit in 2003. The Devabhasha curriculum was developed between 2006 and 2012, and formally launched in 2012.

Founder Patron, Jaipuria Schools

Anjali Jaipuria's passion for Sanskrit and her love for rebuilding India led her to a dream — that one day the Sanskrit language must go through a period of renaissance in India. That renaissance began with Seth M. R. Jaipuria School, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow in April 2003.

Through Devabhasha, the dream is to empower every child with the ability to understand and converse in Sanskrit, and fall in love with the language of their forefathers.
