This book is the revision of the book "Sanskrit Grammar for Vedanta Students." This series provides basic Sanskrit grammar which is sufficient to allow the student to read slokas and commentaries on Bhagavad Gita. I changed the title to "Enjoyable Sanskrit Grammar" because the more I teach the more I find that the impediment in learning Sanskrit is not intellectual, but psychological. As repeatedly emphasized by my respected guru, Sri Pujya Svami Dayananda Sarasvati, it is important to be relaxed and make the study enjoyable. In this book the presentation of the topics is based purely on the tradition, but at the same time I have tried to make it easily understandable by the student in the modern scheme. Throughout this series of grammar books, the knowledge of Sanskrit grammar is presented for understanding, rather than just memorizing. Only when the grammar and Panini's system to explain the grammar are understood, can one fully enjoy the language and the knowledge given through it. This series of books is therefore useful not only for students of scriptures in Sanskrit, but also for those who just want to gain an overview of the linguistics aspect of the Sanskrit language.

Listening, speaking, reading and writing are the four important aspects for a language learner. For a person new to a language, listening and speaking form the first stepping stone. This book is designed as a study guide for students wanting to start learning Sanskrit as a spoken language. I heartily thank the student and teacher groups for the inspiration in crating this book. Topics useful for common usage are presented with exercises after each lesson along with stories and correct usages.

This series of two books is designed for the systematic learning of Devanagari, the alphabet script generally used for written Sanskrit. By completing the study of these two books, one may be able to read and write Sanskrit words and sentences adequately. This first book of the series covers all of the letters in the Sanskrit alphabet. Pronunciation, a guided handwriting practice area with the order of writing strokes, and word examples are provided for each letter.

Essential Sanskrit Grammar, Book Two - the ideal companion to Book One - covers the remaining topics that are important in creating a strong foundation in grammar. In this book you will find: The formation of compound words - dvandva, tatpuruṣa, bahuvrīhi, and avyayībhāva samāsa The 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 9th classes of verbs Nonconjugational tenses and moods - perfect, aorist, first future, second future, conditional, and benedictive Derivative verbs - causative, desiderative, frequentative, and denominative Primary and secondary suffixes The declension of cardinal and ordinal numbers Absolute construction Plus: Irregular nouns and adjectives, an extensive List of Verbs, and a Glossary of Grammatical Terms A helpful system of cross-referencing and an easy-to-use List of Topics for quick navigation through both books Abundant grammatical examples that include devanāgarī with transliteration Selected verses from the Bhagavad-Gītā and other sources
