First Steps Towards Sanskrit

Author: Anil K. Biltoo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000510581
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 158

Book Description
First Steps Towards Sanskrit: Language, Linguistics and Culture is an accessible first introduction to this ancient Indian language. Complete beginners are introduced to the language from scratch. Key terms are explained clearly and there is an extensive glossary to assist the reader who is unfamiliar with the terminology of language learning. By the end of the book, learners will have grasped the basics of the language and be prepared to engage readily in an introductory college or university course or through private study. The addition of cultural, linguistic and historical notes will appeal to learners with diverse interests, ranging from religious studies and philosophy to yoga and comparative or historical linguistics. The book includes references to classical and modern European languages. Parallels are also drawn with Indic languages where these are relevant, particularly as concerns the writing system. No knowledge of any language other than English is, however, presupposed. This book is ideal for both self-study and in-class use as a primer or core text for pre-sessional courses.

Enjoyable Sanskrit Grammar Volume 1 Basic Structure of the Language

Author: Medha Michika
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781539432111
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 202

Book Description
This book is the revision of the book "Sanskrit Grammar for Vedanta Students." This series provides basic Sanskrit grammar which is sufficient to allow the student to read slokas and commentaries on Bhagavad Gita. I changed the title to "Enjoyable Sanskrit Grammar" because the more I teach the more I find that the impediment in learning Sanskrit is not intellectual, but psychological. As repeatedly emphasized by my respected guru, Sri Pujya Svami Dayananda Sarasvati, it is important to be relaxed and make the study enjoyable. In this book the presentation of the topics is based purely on the tradition, but at the same time I have tried to make it easily understandable by the student in the modern scheme. Throughout this series of grammar books, the knowledge of Sanskrit grammar is presented for understanding, rather than just memorizing. Only when the grammar and Panini's system to explain the grammar are understood, can one fully enjoy the language and the knowledge given through it. This series of books is therefore useful not only for students of scriptures in Sanskrit, but also for those who just want to gain an overview of the linguistics aspect of the Sanskrit language.

The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Religion

Author: Susan M. Felch
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316757269
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 307

Book Description
Each essay in this Companion examines one or more literary texts and a religious tradition to illustrate how we can understand both literature and religion better by looking at them in tandem. Unlike most literature and religion books, which tend to focus on Christianity and take a highly theoretical approach inappropriate for non-specialists, The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Religion offers an accessible treatment of both Dharmic and Abrahamic traditions. It provides close readings of texts rather than surveys of large topics, making it an ideal resource for undergraduate and graduate students of literature and religion.
