Question on Havan and Sanskrit

[Guest guest]

Namaste Afshinji,

Until Nandaji has a chance to respond I thought I would respond to

your Sanskrit question. Swamiji published a small book on the

Sanskrit Samputs. I found it helpful. On the web you can access the

following two resources that I have investigated and found pretty

good. First is the American Sanskrit Institute

http://www.americansanskrit.com/

 

and second is an online Sanskrit class with Dr. Sastry at the Hindu

University of America http://www.hindu-university.edu/

 

I am sure there are lots of others, but these are the two I have

found most promising in terms of material quality and accessibility.

If you do some web searching, there is also (one of many) a website

out of India. In the title is something about Acharya and Sanskrit.

This is a project to make the languages of India accessible. Sorry

that I do not remember the name. However, the website is well done

in English and there are voice clips for the alphabet and it shows

you how the letters are formed in Devengari (sp?) script. It is

free. The other resources I mentioned are affordable.

Jai Maa

Sadhu Maa
