Learning Sanskrit in India

Hi! Here European with Greek and Latin as active languages and Sanskrit too (Spoken Sanskrit and literature).

I wanted always to spend some time in India but never been there. Now I have the opportunity (money and time).

  1. Which place would you recommend?

  2. Which institution? If any! Or how would I find a teacher to deepen my Sanskrit while continue reading Epics and philosophy?

  3. Have anyone here had such an experience?

I have already a PhD and masters, so diplomas won't be necessary for me but wouldn't be bad!

Thanks beforehand!

काचित् कथा अस्ति। यस्याम् नव राजानः अभवन्। ते कथम्-चित् मुद्रायाः एकस्याः वशम् गताः। ततः जीवन्तः अपि मृत-सदृशाः संजाताः। तस्याम् पुनः मुद्रायाम् आ-सक्ताः ताम् एव मार्गन्ति अहः-निशम्।

Can a programming language be both computationally precise and linguistically natural?

​

Here is a small example from PaniniVM — The Dice Problem.

The assumption: on a standard die, opposite faces sum to 7.

The program randomly chooses a face from 1–6, prints it, computes its opposite, and prints that too.

Actual PaniniVM source:

एक + ङसिँ षष् + शस् परि + अन्त + अम् सङ्ख्या + अम् चिञ् + क्त्वा फल + अम् मुद्र् + णिच् + लोट् + सिप् ।

सप्तन् + शस् चिञ् + ल्युट् + ङस् फल + अम् च वि + युज् + णिच् + ल्यप् फल + अम् मुद्र् + णिच् + लोट् + सिप् ।

The "+" notation exposes the morphological structure to the compiler, but the larger goal is naturalness: computation should follow Sanskrit grammar rather than forcing Sanskrit vocabulary into the syntax of an existing programming language.

Verbal roots express actions, case relations help determine computational roles, and derivational morphology contributes to meaning and execution.

The question behind PaniniVM is not simply:

“Can we write code using Sanskrit words?”

It is:

“Can computation itself be expressed naturally through Sanskrit and Pāṇinian grammar?”
