Classical Sanskrit for Everyone A Guide for Absolute Beginners

Abstract

Surprisingly, Classical Sanskrit for Everyone is indeed for everyone. Playing tour guide to the \u27curious,\u27 the \u27Yoga aficionado,\u27 and the \u27scholar\u27 on an efficient itinerary through Sanskrit grammar and its philosophical cultures, Keating\u27s book is refreshingly accessible and useful. Replete with an excellent analysis of important features of Sanskrit with analogies to English usage and learned \u27pandit points,\u27 it also provides supplemental discussions of Sanskrit poetry and philosophy and up-to-date online resources. Pop culture references and a playfully funny tone, at turns, disarm the uninitiated reader and give the scholar a fresh perspective on how to teach this language to a new generation of eager learners. --Deven M.
