deel I: Basic Structure of the Language

deel III: Dirivatives
From Book 1: 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 emphasised by my respected guru, Śrī Pūjya Svamī Dayānanda Sarasvatī, 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 Pāṇini’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.
My prayers to all the students of all the scriptures of this great culture of India. (Mehda Michika)
