I have the final chant to listen to, but I can say that this series of lessons is excellent. Anuradha Choudry captivates her listeners with her obvious enthusiasm for Sanskrit study. Her explanations are well-organized, joyful, and encouraging. Excellent presentation!!!

Dear Anuradha, 
I‘m sooooo happy I found You! 
First time while researches on YouTube. Now here on Yogaanytime. I love the Sound of Sanskrit but was always afraid of learning.. 

now, with your Videos it s like playing with sounds- nearby happens understandping , ( or sometims not )..
but the experience of Sound and what happens when chanting - falling into the space created by the Sound is brillant- 
So thankfull for you work!
