Guest guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Share Posted October 11, 2003 Speak Sanskrit in 10 Days Courtesy & Copyright Chinmaya Mission By Swami Prasannatmaanand Saraswati In the course of an interview, Dr Raja Ramana, one of India's foremost scientists & think ex - Chairman of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre was asked whether he had any regrets in life. Then 70, Dr Ramana replied, 'Yes I did not learn Sanskrit'. Remember his words ever since. Just last week Sonia from U.S.A. wrote in asking whether I could translate for her ten English phrases into Sanskrit. I do not know Sanskrit but spoke to a friend who put me in touch with Uday Acharyaji. Udayji was nice enough to mail me corresponding Sanskrit words. While speaking to him I realized that a number of people might want to go through a crash course in Sanskrit. So I called up the Chinmaya Mission & asked them if they had a book on Learning Sanskrit. Fortunately they did, here is it for you. The author Swami Prasannaatmaananda Saraswati is one of the senior most disciples of the world-renowned His Holiness Pujya Swami Chinmayanandaji. He hails from Andhra Pradesh and is the present Senior Acharya (Spiritual teacher) of the Chinmaya Mission, Madras. He took Sanyasa-Deeksha form H.H. Swami Tejomayananda on 29/08/94. Formerly he was known as Brahmachari Prasanna Chaitanya. He is a Post-Graduate in mathematics, and a scholar in Sanskrit. He has mastered Paan'ini Sootras of Sanskrit Grammar, and Brahma-Sootras of Vedanta. The piece is divided into ten chapters, each Day being one chapter. There is a Translation & Pronounciation Guide below. Thanks to my colleague Ajay for typing in the book. Before that here ten phrases that Uday Acharyaji translated for Sonia. 1. Good morning - Suprabhaatam. 2. Good night - Shubha Raatri. 3. Good bye - Punar Milanam Bhavatu.(Let there be a reunion) 4. Have a nice day - Sudinam Astu Bhavate. 5. How are you? - Katham Asti Bhavaan/Bhavatee (masculine/feminine). 6. Thank you - Dhanyavaadah. 7. You are welcome (in response to 'thank you') - OM. 8. My name is - Mama Naama ..... 9. I love you - Tvaam Prati Preetim Anubhavaami.(I experience love for you). 10. I am happy - Sukham Anubhavaami. 11. I am hungry - Kshudaam Anubhavaami.
