This self-teaching guide presents Sanskrit pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary in simple and systematic steps, allowing students to easily master the fundamentals of this enchanting language. Each lesson includes instruction in alphabet, grammar, and vocabulary, with concise explanations and easy practice exercises. Also included in Part One is a reading from the Bhagavad-Gita and Sanskrit quotations from the Rk Samhita, Upanisads, Yoga Sutas, Brahma Sutras, and Manu Smrti. Part Two uses verses from the Bhagavad-Gita to teach principles of grammar, and includes additional essays on Sanskrit grammar and pronunciation. This text is written to fulfill a need that still remains, which is to make the introductory study of Sanskrit simple, concise, and systematic, thereby making it more accessible and enjoyable for a beginning student. The text is not a complete survey of Sanskrit grammar, or even a primer. It is meant to be a ëpre-primer,í a step-by-step introduction to the fundamental aspects of the language. Review: Verses from chapter 2 of the Bhavagad Gita as a basis for Sanskrit teaching - The author uses interesting verses from chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita to provide the basis for bettering one's understanding of Sanskrit vocabulary and grammar. This would seem to be a good choice, as many authors consider chapter 2 to be a sort of introduction to the rest of the Bhagavad Gita. I find it useful to go online and hear each verse chanted. After I hear a verse, I then memorize it. It is also useful to read the analysis of each verse online. An improvement of volume 2 over volume 1 is the presence of a general index in the back of the book. This index covered volume 1 as well as volume 2. The general index also uses English grammatical terms such as "imperative" rather than the Sanskrit terms employed in the separate grammatical index. The only concern that I might express is that the author uses a different Devanagari font than that used in volume 1. I should note, however, that the version of the letters with a different font is shown on p.71 of volume 1. Review: Best Sanskrt book available - I have several other books on Sanskrt but they tend to be confusing ambiguous and overwhelming even for me and I speak several languages. This book is clear and straight forward as can be. It doesn't have any audio companion to aid in learning pronunciation but I haven't found any that do. Help in pronunciation can be found at a great Sanskrt web site however www.learnsanskrit.org. The web site pretty much follows this book very closely. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,095,743 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #62,815 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) #70,756 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 82 Reviews | ## Images ![Introduction to Sanskrit: Part Two - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51QrQS5J9gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Verses from chapter 2 of the Bhavagad Gita as a basis for Sanskrit teaching *by U***S on April 24, 2016* The author uses interesting verses from chapter 2 of the Bhagavad Gita to provide the basis for bettering one's understanding of Sanskrit vocabulary and grammar.
