In the present age of globalization, to learn a different language is a boon, as it enhances the career prospects and gives the knowledge of other cultures. There are a few languages which have their global utility like English, French, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic etc. But Sanskrit is totally different from this group. According to the Oxford dictionary, Sanskrit is the language of learned people in India. It is true that this is a native Indian language, but this language has been given the status of the most suitable language for computers. In the view of scientists and researchers this is the language of future. It is said that Sanskrit is the mother of many Indian and European languages. This language is not just a language of communication but also the language that leads to spiritualism. Researchers have recently proclaimed that just by pronouncing this beautiful language one can get rid of one's illness. That is why this is called the language of GOD. Its grammar and pronunciation are based on scientific pattern. So, I am sure that by learning this special language one's life will be transformed completely. There are many books in the market that teach Sanskrit. Most of the books are written for Indian languages speaking persons. Though there a few books for English speakers but after viewing them, I found them not meeting the requirements of foreign learners because of their complexities. That is why I have written this book. Though this is the second edition of the book but I would like to call it the first one, because the book has been re-written thoroughly by keeping the suggestions of the readers in mind. This book has been written in a simple and lucid way. I have illustrated the principles of grammar in the book, so that the learner may be able to get to the heart of the Sanskrit language easily. A number of examples have been given in the book. Chapters on conversation and adages have been added. Vocabulary section has been divided into categories. The transliteration of the whole book has been provided. I think after careful study of the book, the readers will be able to understand the basics of the language. I am planning to give the audio version of the book free of cost to the readers in future. As soon as the version is ready I'll email it to the readers in mp3 format. To get the version, readers must send a request on the following email- [email protected]. Hopefully, the readers will enjoy the reading of the book.
