Manorama taught Sanskrit to the JMYC Teacher's Trainees up at Omega Institute.
Here is what David Life, Co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga had to say
"Manorama, thank you so much for the wonderful Sanskrit workshop!
It couldn't have gone any better. You are an incredibly inspiring and gifted teacher."
Dear Manorama,
Thanks for being a part of our teacher's training program!
Everyone loved your Sanskrit Level 1 workshop. Thank you.
Much Love,

Hi Manorama,
I just wanted to say you made an enormous impression on me at the Yoga Shanti teacher training last winter, and we feel as though the New York yoga community is very lucky to have you.

You left a deep impression on me while listening to your
lecture at this years Jiva YTT -
I was the girl in the back who could not
understand everything.
You made me sit in the front row, thank you sooo much for
your teachings,
I so hope to continue the sanskrit studies with
you.

I always feel something magical around Manorama.
Please give my apologies to Ma and send my love and respect.
It was beautiful the way she had everyone reading and writing Sanskrit within two days;
definately Guru's grace.
All my love,

Dear Dear Manorama,
Thank you again and again for taking the time to visit us here in Sun Valley. It was truly wonderful to be able to spend some time with you.
Please let me know what you think of that idea, or if you have any others that would help me remember it.

Dearest Manorama,
I love you so and thank you so much for being here with all of us. Every time you chanted for us all was my favorite part.
Can you come back in the Fall to teach the Sutras? the Gita? family retreat?
All my love to you dear one.

Dear Manorama,
I joined you last evening at Jivamukti - you were
jetlagged, and I was the geeky studious girl in the front who used a prop block
as a desk.
I am so grateful for your words, your kindness, your easy and open way. I
feel lifted - the apprehension of letting go is slowly subsiding.
Thank you.
Love and light,

My heart goes out to you and I think of you each day
and send you love and soul support...
your voice and your words fill my home each day and
every third wednesday of the month is sacred.
Your teachings are eduction in the truest sense... from
the Latin: to draw out what is already within.
Your gift to those of us lucky to hear you is the
truth.
Your raw bravery in sharing your journey
withyour 'Ma' with us MOVED me deeply, and showed me so much that I am
grateful for.
IF as you say "Life is like school"... (which I know to
be true) then for one evening each month YOUR bhav is in mine... I feel better
about being my own teacher...
in that school loss, physical loss, of one I loved
deeply led to gain in awareness...
Truthfully I cannot imagine anone more 'AWARE' than
you... but each day I feel her in my heart...
You are loved by me a complete stranger...
Your voice fills my home and I am deeply grateful our
eyes have met.
LOVE, LOVE, and MORE LOVE...
Your pupil,
Tatina

Dearest Manorama,
I just wanted to tell you that whenever I chant the 26th sloka from chapter
9 of the Gita (the current Jivamukti focus of the month for december)- I am
always reminded of you and your wonderful Luminous Shabda classes at the
Jivamukti Yoga teacher training this year... And the fun we all had when chanting this
sloka together! :)
THANK YOU again so much!
Again, thank you so much for being such a huge inspiration and for the
beautiful and inspirational classes you taught...
With gratitude,
And much love from Berlin!
Have a wonderful christmas time!

Dearest Manorama,
How can I begin to thank you for the week long retreat at Omega where we dove deeply into Self study. The traditions, symbology, mysticism and metaphors of the Gods & Godesses has opened yet another door for me to enter deeper into the hidden mystery that lies within mySelf. This power - our power - represented through God's and Godesses allows me to be able to reach for its potential by allowing my mind to grasp the many facets and layers of the infinite source that abides in all things.
Your wit and humor, as is your style, made it utterly enjoyable and yet the exercises and periods of silence kept my mind on point at all times. By the 5th day of the retreat, I was so saturated in the teachings, I felt as if I was floating on neutrality.
These are just words - the feelings could never be conveyed through them - but know that I truly appreciate all of the love and effort and self sacrifice you give to these teachings. Because of them, I am able to find more ways to keep the mind saturated in Self study and Self awareness.
Love to you always,
Nirmala NYC

Dear Manorama-ji,
I've been meaning to write you a note--THANK YOU so much for the amazing experience on Sunday. It truly was an "experience", not just a class or a workshop. All the students who attended were transformed just by being in your presence and hearing your beautiful descriptions of Guru-ji's teachings.
Personally, I've had a very small amount of Sanskrit education, and I felt that what I learned from you resonated with me strongly, and took root strongly, than other experiences. Your introduction to the topic was very tender and gentle, and you gave us a real spiritual context for the study. You took what I thought was going to be a rather dry topic and made it utterly transformative, delightful, and absorbing.
We would love to have you back again so that we can all continue to grow in our Sanskrit sadhana.
Yours truly,
Emma South Mountain Yoga Director
Manorama Ji,
What a delight is was to have you at Yogaphoria this weekend...
you really made quite an impression on everyone!
Let me know if you have dates open at the end of the year...
I'd love to have you back for the next level.
And, I'd love to have you join us again in one of our training weekends next year...
Love! Sue

Dearest Ma,
I just wanted to thank you so much for this past weekend at Dallas Yoga Center. My husband (Rick, from the back of the room by the exit!) keeps saying, “Remember what Manorama said…” And I do.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to sit in your presence when you come to Dallas. I would come to every program in every city, if I could. Just like I did after Sanskrit Level I, I feel as if layers upon layers of mental and emotional debris have been cleared away. I get lost, repeatedly, and then your words come back to me, and I remember my Self.
I am always hesitant to come speak to you, because I cannot think of a question or even a sentence. When I am listening to you talk, I have the feeling of remembering what I have always known, but somehow I forgot. All I can say is thank you.
I will continue to study, to answer the questions in the packet for myself and to practice the alphabet and the Sutras. I look forward to seeing you and studying with you again. You are always with me.
Much love and warm pranams,
Lizzie

Hi Manorama,
Thanks for taking the time to see where it is. I appreciate it. The resonance of your voice with the Sanskrit pronounced so eloquently and accurately will be a true treasure to soak up.
My wife and I are in the midst of a Yoga Teacher Training with Jan Henrickson. It will be such a special treat to spend a weekend with you for the last weekend of our training.
In Love,

Learning Sanskrit from Manorama is like immersing in the sacred sound that emanates from the conch of Arjuna. She awakens one to the healing sounds of Sanskrit and the songs of chanting in a profound way.
Rodney Yee & Colleen Yee, May 2007
Manorama is amazing. In a matter of a few hours, she had Sanskrit illiterates singing the praises of Shiva. Our training students had the time of their lives learning their A's, EE's and UU's with Manorama.

Manorama,
I had to leave tonight before everyone finished their reports so I didn't have a chance to thank you in person for the program this weekend. It was great! I really liked how you combined studying Sanskrit with the philosophy of the Yoga Sutras along with your Guru's writings and your experiences with him as well as the medititation and chanting. And I really admire how you were able to connect with everyone there. It was a wonderful weekend.
Thanks again for everything.

Dear Manorama
Thank you for the 2 wonderful weekends in East Hampton. I have to tell you that they were the most profound classes so far in this training and in my pursuit of yoga. You articulated and explained many thoughts that have been roaming around in my mind for years and attached many words to questions of purpose that I have had. I am looking forward (and also a bit overwelmed) to venturing through the endless words I wrote during the 90 hours spent with you. You have also been an impetus for my REGULAR meditation practice. I look forward to March.
Warmest and sincerest regards,
Sarah Halweil

I wanted to thank-you again for your wisdom, truth, love and compassion. The sanskrit workshop was a great success..... the teacher trainees were talking about it today. Your CD is fantastic...... a vibrational journey into the soul where the bodhichitta lives.
