Devabhasha has been much more than a Sanskrit textbook; it has been a doorway to India's rich cultural and philosophical heritage. It introduces Sanskrit not as a difficult subject, but as a living, joyful, and engaging language. Every lesson felt like an exploration rather than a classroom exercise.

Alumna, SMRJ · Philosophy (Hons), Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi
I studied at Seth M.R. Jaipuria School from LKG through Class 12. The Devabhasha curriculum sensitised me to this language through Vedic mantras and Upanishadic and Puranic stories. Today I feel joy inexplicable whenever I realise I can fluently speak, read and understand Sanskrit.
संस्कृतभाषायां ईदृशी लयात्मकता अस्ति यत् सामान्यः वार्तालापः गीतमिव लगति।
Saransh Mishra
Alumnus, SMRJ · Philosophy, Hindu College, University of Delhi
My journey with Sanskrit began in Grade 6 at SMRJ. A well-structured bridge course seamlessly integrated me into the Devabhasha curriculum. This dedication culminated in a 97% in ICSE and a perfect 100/100 in ISC Sanskrit — and later, a specialized certificate in manuscript studies under the Ministry of Culture.

For me, Devabhasha is not just a language. It is something that has changed me from within. The shlokas, the sounds, and the meaning behind every word bring a sense of calm and clarity that stays with me throughout the day. When I recite even one shloka, I feel centered.
Arti Kashyap
Alumna, SMRJ (2025)
Sanskrit for me has been far more than a subject on a timetable. Every shloka feels like it is asking us a question about how to live. That experience shaped how I see Sanskrit — not as a difficult, distant subject, but as a language carrying real wisdom worth sitting with.
Meenakshi Agarwal
Class 10, Seth M.R. Jaipuria School, Gomti Nagar
Devabhasha presents the language in a simple, interesting, and systematic manner. Its stories, conversations, shlokas and exercises not only improve our Sanskrit but also teach us moral values and India's cultural heritage. It encourages us to think, speak, and appreciate Sanskrit as a living language.
Kartik Singh
Class 11, SMRJ (Navsrijan alumnus)
I have taught Sanskrit to a 6th-grade student of Delhi Public School and to my juniors in college — grammar, vocabulary, shlokas and basic conversation. I've won first and second medals in competitions across states. It's the grace of what Devabhasha instilled in me.
Ruchi Bansal
Alumna, Navsrijan & SMRJ (ISC 2024)
Sanskrit is our most ancient language — the mother of many. I've introduced Devabhasha to my younger sister, helped elders around me understand Sanskrit, hosted three editions of the Bhavani Bharati inter-school competition, and performed in Sanskrit plays on Founder's Day.
मैं ईश्वर की आभारी हूँ कि मुझे इस महत्वपूर्ण भाषा का ज्ञान प्राप्त हुआ।

Mrinmayi has been learning Sanskrit since nursery. She absolutely enjoys it — the Devabhasha curriculum has made learning fun and its emphasis on spoken Sanskrit is unique. She has started appreciating Indian culture, languages, art forms and music much better than before.

My daughter Nakshatra has been learning Sanskrit since she was six. We followed the Devabhasha curriculum and referred to the textbooks — very useful in getting her to practice daily. Her understanding of Sanskrit words helps her even today in her mother tongue Marathi.

Parent · New Jersey, USA
It is heartwarming to see how Sanskrit is introduced to young children — through playful activities, recitation of simple shlokas with meaning, and storytelling. I now understand why Sanskrit is called Devabhasha. It is pure, scientific, and helps us connect with our cultural and spiritual values.
