Would you like to learn Sanskrit?  At least the basics? Understand the sound system. Write the sanskrit script “devanagari”. Learn correct pronunciation of the yoga posture names and mantra chanting.

Here is a simple guide to the basics of the language put together by Badri Narayana from the Sivananda Ashram at the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.  It has lessons 1 – 5 online with free pdf to download. Learn the basic at your own pace and see how far it will take you. It is a wonderful language.
