Bhasa is a forum for studies of Indic languages — such as Bengali, Hindi, Oriya and Sanskrit — in a Vaisnava context. "In a Vaisnava context" does not call for all participants to be Vaisnava, although it does narrow down the cultural context the majority of our audience comes from and applies the said languages in.

Bhasa is a free resource and a discussion arena for everyone with an interest in becoming familiar or refining their knowledge of Indic languages. Whether you are a beginner with next to no knowledge or a seasoned linguist, there should be something of interest Bhasa can offer you.

Bhasa is not designed to be a full-fledged language course that will systematically educate you in the language of your choice. It is a shared chalkboard for students and teachers of various levels, with no formal curriculum. Think of it as a learning aid to supplement your current studies.
