Re: Study in India?

The best place for your to study Sanskrit is Banaras hindu
university in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh state (http://www.bhu.ac.in/). It
is like the home of hinduism like Rome is to Christianity. Has the nost
authentic programs and faculty in Sanskrit. Cost of living
incl.rent,food,travel should not be more than a couple 100 dollars. If
you can live on campus you can get away with a meager amount of 100
dollars p.m. See thier website for more info on courses. Its not an
extensive one but will give u a rough idea.

You can definitely pick this place as the place of higher
learning not only for sanskrit but also the vedas. Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Pune would be the best place.
Cost of living will be the main cost.
If you rent a place and do your own cooking and ride bicycle cost
should be insignificant.
As for tutoring you can seek advice of someone at
http://www.indiaeducation.ernet.in/insitutions/PROFILE.ASP?no=U00120
Or Prof. V. N. Jha at http://www.unipune.ernet.in/dept/cass/
These two places are not for beginners but they are contactable through
internet and will surely guide you.
