Nityananda Chandra Granger

Instructor

Nityananda Chandra started memorizing verses in 99' but it wasn't until later that he made good strides is his practice. In downtown Portland he saw elementary students reciting the Bhagavad Gita, chapter 15, from memory. At the time he was living as a monk and he thought to himself, "Why just these small kids, living as a monk I should be able to do that as well." Some time after he discovered that it was a lot easier to retain long strings of verses that naturally go together rather then separate important ones. In this class, many of the previous students, such as Capu, Chance, Bailey, and others also assist in teaching verses and often offer to individually tutor outside of our regular class times.

¡Haribol! This is a course you don’t want to miss. Besides the benefits of studying with an excellent teacher like Nityananda Chandra, you’ll feel eternal the Divine presence with every verse you learn. I memorized chapter 15 from Bhagavad Gita in 2021 and even today the Sanskrit is fresh just like the first day; I can assure you´ll memorize with your heart and not just your head.

Nityananda Chandra is my first sloka teacher, and one I would come back to time and time again. His approach is very inclusive and detailed oriented. He made me feel very capable of reciting slokas from Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam by encouraging me, including me in live recitations, helping me with pronunciation, chanting the slokas in a particular way and never making me feel any lesser. I would highly suggest anyone (whether you enjoy memorizing things or not) to join his classes as he dives deep into the wonderful meaning and stories surrounding the slokas we learn; he will even take time to practice with you one on one. I guarantee you will come out learning more than what you anticipated! Thanks Nityananda Chandra for all your hard work and service towards the community 🙏

Nityananda Chandra is an amazing teacher. More people need to know about his!! He has a great way of filling the class with so much nectar that you will learn not just Sanskrit and shlokas but tons of Vedic wisdom. Each lesson is not just informative and educational but super fun and interesting. Nityananda's teaching style keeps you engaged and drawn in! His classes take you on a deep dive, a deep meditation into another world! He loves to see his students grow and evolve and you can definitely tell as soon as you take his course. Each course is filled with everything you need to succeed not just in one shloka or chapter, but he teaches you skills and techniques to help you in overall Sanskrit, shloka memorization, and/or reading of Vedic texts.

I have been amazed by the fact that; Nityananda Chandra Prabhu is one of the most skilled teachers of Eastern wisdom on the Western side of the world. The things you need to learn, from scratch, so we, as students can improve our understanding of this transcendental knowledge to the point we can, organically, memorize a little bit of one of the most beautiful scriptures there has ever been written.

In my personal experience Nityananda Chandra Prabhu delivers what's Srila Prabhupada taught us in a way that we can understand easily. He breaks the philosophy down where everyone at their own level of understanding can relate or understand without fail. One of the reasons why I love this course is because of how patient he is. He takes time out of his day to help with any questions or practicing slokas. I can now relish what Prabhupada brought to us. Super thanks to Nityananda Chandra🙏 Another thing that I enjoy about this course is how he makes things so easy to remember. Learning from Nityananda Chandra will definitely make it easier to share this wonderful knowledge to others without fail. This course was definitely the best course ever. Hope to see more in the future🙏
