Here is an
informative TV production called:
"Thinking Allowed". It presents:
The Sanskrit
Tradition: An Interview with Dr. Dean Brown, Prof. of Physics,
U. of Hawaii, Manoa.
It brings forward
the interesting Eastern/Western views of Professor Dean Brown,
an eminent Theoretical Physicist (and Sanskrit Scholar, who has
recently translated the Upanishads). The interview is really
illuminating and connects two seemingly unrelated aspects of
humanity - Sanskrit and Physics. Dr. Brown expresses that
Sanskrit in fact is the mother of all European languages and the
roots of many English words can be traced to Samskritam.

Sanskrit Course Descriptions
383.111 Beginning Sanskrit
This course has been designed for students with no knowledge of
the Sanskrit language. Emphasis will be placed on the basic
listening, reading, and writing of the language. The reading and
writing system will be introduced in a very systematic manner,
thereby, students will not have to learn all the vowels and the
consonants at once before getting to read the words. Basic
sentences will be drawn from the Sanskrit Literature. Simple
Vedic Mantras from the Vedas and Ishopanishad, verses from the
Bhagavad Gita and the sootras from the Yoga Sookas will be read.
3 credits.
