“I have been taking “Sanskrit Shiksha” and Panini’s Grammar classes with Divya Prabha ji for over 6 months now and it has been for me a very decisive step forwards in many ways. India is today the largest English speaking nation thanks to Macauley who had initiated teaching in English across the nation in the early 1800’s. But he had also regrettably simultaneously dismantled at least 40 traditional centres of learning across India.

So, on the one hand English has been a great gift to India and has also served as the portal through which the mind of India could then enter the rest of the world. However, because of the simultaneous dismantling of traditional institutions of knowledge that took place, there has also been an unfortunate “colonisation” of minds in India where successive generations have been educated in an alien metaphor and very often no longer have a living contact with tradition.
Increasingly, however, there has been a revival of interest in learning Sanskrit across the nation as a means of gaining true intimacy with traditions.

Divya Prabha for me represents the other special relationship the British race has had with India as demonstrated in the lives of Annie Besant, Sister Nivedita, Yogi Sri Krishnaprem , Arthur Osborne etc. It is a relationship of affinity and deep inner identification.

For me finding Divya Prabha ji has been an act of Grace. She is an ideal teacher whose own accomplishment as a student is the greatest example and inspiration for all her students.”
