Maryland - Samskrita Kendram 2025

Samskrita-Kendram - Maryland (Clarksburg & Rockville)

You are registering for the weekly Samskritam classes conducted by Samskrita Bharati at Clarksburg and Rockville locations. Our Samskrita Kendram provides Samskritam classes for the whole family. Different levels of classes are conducted for adults and children. In addition, MCPS High School students also receive 0.5 elective credit per year for studying at our Samskrita-Kendram. These classes will be conducted at the same time as Beginner Level Adult classes.

A separate class is also available for teaching the devanAgari script at both places. This class will teach recognition, pronunciation, and writing of Sanskrit/Hindi alphabet. We also provide Bhagavad Gita classes for both Childrens and Adults. Both the devanAgari lipi and Bhagavad Gita classes are complementary for those who register for weekly Samskritam classes.
