I doubt that even MUM has any courses in Sanskrit. At least I never
heard anyone who attended there say it was taught. You forget that some
of the "governors" including myself did the TM-Sidhi's course with the
Citizen's courses. They were said to be the same thing anyway. Doing
it that way I was able to break it into 3 sessions and keep my music gig.
As for Sanskrit what teachers got for the puja were sheets with
transliterations. These were carefully done to correlate with American
English. So we didn't actually "learn" Sanskrit other than the
translations of puja into English and the Sanskrit words for that.
When I visited Ammachi's ashram in India they conducted courses in
Sanskrits for the devotees. In the 1990s I bought Vyas Houson's full
home course on Sanskrit which is very well put together. The American
Sanskrit Institute often holds weekend courses where you learn
Devanagari which is enough to get one started. From a practical
standpoint it was very useful when traveling in India where you will see
signs in that script and then the English with it. Often the script is
just sounding out the English. :-D

Is it true that the Governors got the siddhi-suutras in Sanskrit?
I mean, the YF suutra in Sanskrit I saw years ago (on minet.org, or
somesuch)
is really strange, because, as I recall it, it seems to be based on
Vyaasa's and/or Bhoja's commentary
rather than the original suutras...
