For those interested, this is a good resource for sanskrit!

 

"The Spiritual Seeker's Essential Guide to Sanskrit" by Dennis Waite

available at the authors site http://www.advaita.org.uk/sanskrit.htm

 

 

Uma

-----------------

 

 

"It provides a two-level introduction to the Sanskrit language.

Level one introduces the transliterated (Anglicised) alphabets used

by books and the Internet for reproducing Sanskrit. Level two

teaches the Devanagari script used for the true language and

describes the main rules for combining letters and words. Correct

pronunciation and writing are explained. The shivasUtrANi are

explained in passing and some of the rules from the laghu-siddhAnta-

kaumudI but this should not put anyone off since the whole

exposition is intended for a complete beginner. A number of examples

from the Upanishads, Gita and Astavakra Gita are used to illustrate

simple translation. There is a comprehensive glossary of the

Sanskrit terms used and a second one containing commonly encountered

spiritual words. "
