Sanskrit lessons given in TORONTO


Dr Sudhir Kaicker, former professor, computer science, in the Jawaharlal
Nehru came to Toronto's Sheridan College to continue teaching the same subject.
But the move made his dream come true. The Sheridan College has agreed to
introduce a Sanskrit course from September 14. Kaicker, who had developed an
e-tutorial for the language, has been asked to take the classes.
It's a dream come true. We are starting a basic course from September 14
that will introduce the Devanagari alphabet and script as well as the
formation of simple sentences. Depending on audience interest, advanced
courses will be introduced.
We have one campus in Oakville and one in Brampton. I teach in both, but the
Sanskrit courses will be in Brampton, where the South Asian community is
concentrated.
