Sanskrit

The traditional Indian method of learning Sanskrit is through oral transmission, memorizing texts first and then learning the meaning. The western academic approach methodically teaches the alphabet, declensions, grammar, syntax, and vocabulary building.

In this Yoga Dictionary of Basic Sanskrit Terms, Goswami Kriyananda has taken a further step to include some major English mystical terms. He feels this basic dictionary will help the student to gain a deeper understanding of yoga, meeting the needs of the contemporary student as well as being helpful to the general reader of yoga literature.

An excellent and thorough introduction to Sanskrit grammar, with the western student in mind and using readings from the principal spiritual texts of India.
