Sanskrit देव भाषा (deva bhasha)—the language of the Gods—will never die. People all over the world recite Sanskrit mantras daily for rituals and meditation, yet its status as a spoken language has dwindled over centuries.

To me, it remains the most beautiful and important language, rich beyond measure. For example: while English has just one word for "love," Sanskrit contains a 96+ word tapestry—like prema (universal love), sneha (affectionate bond), anuraga (deep, enduring attachment), karuna (compassionate love), and bhakti (devotional love)—each capturing unique shades of this profound emotion.

I'm doing my part to ensure this treasure doesn't just survive but thrives again. If you feel called to join me, let's celebrate Sanskrit's legacy and rekindle its voice together.

— Ava ॐ 🙏🏻🪷💜

I was tutored on my school curriculum by someone who spoke Sanskrit as their primary language at home.

Remember her 7 year old talking at length when I was like 15 and could barely string a few sentences up together. The grammar takes quite a bit to master. Esp. the verbs!!
