Yamunotrī 2026 (यमुनोत्री) 

What is Yamunotrī?

Yamunotrī is a family-oriented Sanskrit camp in Texas, designed to provide an immersive experience in a Samskritam-speaking environment. Participants can explore a variety of topics, from everyday conversations (saṃbhāṣaṇa) to classical Sanskrit literature (kāvya). The camp is tailored for families who want to learn and practice Samskritam together. It also includes group activities like skits, yoga, and sattvic meals, fostering connections among learners. Accommodation is provided for all attendees.

Who can register?

Anyone can attend, and no prior knowledge of Samskritam is required (for the beginners level). Familiarity with an Indian language is highly recommended, as our syllabus is tailored for such students. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Who are the instructors?

We are delighted and grateful to welcome Vasuvaj Mahodaya as the Chief Guest of our camp! We are also excited to have a wonderful team of experienced and dedicated Sanskrit instructors who will make learning joyful, engaging, and accessible for everyone.

Camp Arrival & Check-In Options

Based on feedback from previous years, we encourage everyone who is able to take the day off to arrive by 12 PM. This allows you to settle in, have lunch, and fully enjoy the camp from the beginning.

At the same time, we understand that some students may only be able to arrive after school, around 6 PM. That is perfectly fine! Please let us know in advance, and we will make the necessary arrangements.

We hope to accommodate both groups while encouraging everyone who can to join us by 12 PM.
