Welcome to Paniniiya-Vyakaranam!

Keyword: Sanskrit Grammar

To all those well-versed in Spoken Samskritam, pardon me for making the homepage of this site in English. My aim here is for all to feel welcome regardless of their level of Samskritam. After this initial page, everything is in Samskritam. To all those who would have otherwise turned away from this site seeing that the very first page is also in Samskritam: If you know a bit of Samskritam and want to learn Panini's grammar, this site is also for you!

To those knowing only Hindi: हिन्दी बोलनेवालों के लिए, फ़िक्र मत करो ! सिर्फ़ यह पन्ना अंग्रेज़ी में है; इस site में बाक़ी सब कुछ संस्कृत में ही है । जब थोड़ा समय मिले, तो यह पहला पन्ना हिन्दी में भी लिखा जाएगा । तब तक इस पन्ने को छोड़कर आगे पढ़िएगा; क्रम से जाएँगे तो सब स्पष्ट अवश्य ही होगा ।

This is a site where all can come and learn Paniniiya-Vyakaranam. If you are a beginner in Samskritam and have gone through Abhyasa-Pustakam +, you are welcome here and you will be able to learn the actual Paniniiya-Vyakaranam right from the start of your Samskritam learning. Basic understanding of present-tense verbs and nouns up through i-kArAnta (muni), u-kArAnta (shishu), and Ru-kArAnta (kartRu) will be helpful. Just start at the beginning of the site's lessons and you'll be on your way!

At the same time, those having more sophisticated knowledge of Samskritam and even of Paniniiya-Vyakaranam will I hope also find this site quite useful, as the approach presented here to classical vyakaranam is very different from what is found in the usual texts. The approach is that given by Smt. Dr. Pushpa Diikshita, and it is based wholly in Panini's own approach; that is, the techniques which Panini used to achieve the critical task of groupifying and organizing the elements of this vast language, are the very techniques Smt. Dr. Pushpa Diikshita has used. With love and respect she is called by many, Mother or Mata; with that very feeling I shall also refer to her in the same way throughout this site.

Indeed the aim of mAtAji Pushpa Diikshita's curriculum is that all with an interest in Samskritam should have access to the jewel of Paniniiya-Vyakaranam. From a historical perspective, Panini's original and unique grammar of Samskritam has been accessible only to a precious few. Those who could go to a gurukulam and dedicate years to study under a Master of grammar, they were the ones who could get clear knowledge. For the rest, Paniniiya-Vyakaranam remained part of the vast unknown.

One person's experience with both the Traditional and the New

I had attempted this traditional route albeit in a limited manner, twice spending a full month studying in the grammar department of a Samskrita-Vishvavidyalaya where everything was taught in the traditional style, and in Samskritam. They were very knowledgeable and taught me a lot to be sure—but in a certain way the sutras of ashtadhyayii remained a dizzying maze. We used laghusiddhantakaumudii, starting the text from the beginning. How many times have I started that book from the beginning! Under their guidance, I was able to get a feel for what was going on—and yet in my mind something wasn't clicking.

Having thus spent two months immersed in the usual method, in January 2013 I ventured a third time, attending a one-month Vyakarana-varga held by mAtAji Pushpa Diikshita at the Shriinivas Sanskrit Vidyapiitha outside of Delhi. In her teaching she moves quickly, and it was very intense. This gurukulam focuses on grammar, and so the students there already knew not only the Laghu, but also the Vaiyakarana-siddhanta-kaumudii text. Even then, for them Mata's lessons were new! Every day there were lectures before and after Mata's own to review what had been covered the day before and then to explain what she had covered that day. Everything was totally new for me and I needed a lot of help from the gurukuliiya students and teachers. But under their tutelage and with a lot of struggle, by the end of the month the light had been turned on in my brain—Paniniiya-Vyakaranam was making sense!

This website is dedicated to sharing what mAtAji gave during that month. (A common technique of writing saMskRutam in latin script is used henceforth on this page.) mAtAji teaches pANini's dhAtu-pATha. That is, she starts out with what many consider to be the toughest aspect of pANinIya-vyAkaraNam. And she does this because, as many of you know, the verb is the core of saMskRuta vyAkaraNam. So she starts with the dhAtu, and proceeds to teach pANinIya-vyAkaraNam in a modular fashion. This modular approach was very different from what I had seen in laghu-siddhAnta-kaumudI, and it made a lot of sense.

Worldly Examples

It is like the approach one finds in say an automobile factory: manufacture of the various vehicle components is divided into specialized departments throughout the factory. In one section of the factory, transmission systems are being made; in another section, exhaust systems are being made; in yet another section, engines are being made. In this way a car is broken down into its essential parts, and workers are trained to become expert in making those parts. By so doing, the factory functions extremely efficiently. This specialty training and compartmentalization of duty is critical to the good functioning of the factory.

And not only is it critical to the car factory: it is key to human learning! Whatever we practice over and over, we become good at. A surgeon who does the same surgery every day will be extremely skilled in it; the skills of a general practitioner who does that same surgery only once every five years, are unlikely to be as polished. The young child learning to write who practices every day will soon become skilled; another child who practices only rarely won't develop the same skill. And especially at the outset if that practice involves breaking down the skill set into its elemental parts, then the practice is indeed far more fruitful.

Let me describe this scenario in yet another way. With any field of knowledge in the world, when a person first newly approaches it, it can appear an immense, unmasterable complex of facts. Take any field with which you are not familiar, and try to learn about it: engineering, linguistics, zoology, astronomy, political science, entomology, philosophy, meteorology, classical music. Any new field appears a dizzying panorama of knowledge. How to approach it, how to learn it! If one tries on one's own, it can be very difficult. But if one has a good experienced teacher, the field becomes approachable. Why? Because the teacher has learned how to organize the material in their own mind, and they pass this mental approach on to the learner. With any field it is like that: the degree to which the teacher has mastered the art of how to categorize the field's material in the human mind, to that very degree it will become easy for the learner. This is the key: how to organize, how to catalogue the information in the mind.

The field of medicine is a good case in point, vis-a-vis the training of new physicians. In medical residency programs all around the world, students struggle to learn the facts of their specialty. The books contain so much information! It is one thing to enter all that information in a computer; the computer never complains, it just accepts all that is entered. But the human mind needs a way to think about that universe of information, to make it manageable. And that is where in teaching hospitals senior residents enter the picture. Residents take the uninitiated mind of the intern, and show that mind how to approach the information to make it practically masterable. Without oversimplifying the matters, they make them easy. And in this way, everyone learns and becomes skilled in what initially seemed impossible! So what is this way of making something easy? It is a system of classifying, a system of categorizing the information so it becomes easily graspable and accessible to the human mind.

Applied to vyAkaraNam

That is just what mAtAji has done with pANinIya-vyAkaraNam—for perhaps the first time in the history of the field. There are two elements to this: (1) Give the human mind a system for classifying the information; and (2) Give the mind a chance to thoroughly practice each element of the classification schema. Take the human mind, and first give it a system for cataloguing the Samskritam grammar machinery; then second let it become proficient in one particular type of grammar machinery at a time—it becomes a master in that machinery and does very well. This is exactly what mAtAji has done—for perhaps the first time in the entire history of teaching pANinIya-vyAkaraNam.

mAtAji has broken down pANinIya-vyAkaraNam into all its essential components—in accordance with the very logic pANini himself uses—and presented the grammar in such a way that everyone can grasp and understand. Because in truth, pANinIya-vyAkaraNam is quite intuitive. Everything pANini has done makes complete sense. But it is easiest to understand the “sense” of it, if one takes pANini's own approach. And that is what mAtAji has done.

Some History

Using the actual pANinIya logic and style, mAtAji divides vyAkaraNam in a “new” way—in the actual pAninIya way—and verily this is what opens the door for all to learn. This pANinIya-based technique makes saMskRuta vyAkaraNam accessible for everyone with interest, paNDitas and lay persons alike. I say the actual pANinIya way, because for a very long time, this path was abandoned. In the initial period after pANini gave the aShTAdhyAyI, trainees in vyAkaraNaM were memorizing the entire aShTAdhyAyii in the order of sUtras which pANini gave. This dates back to around the fifth century BCE, the time many attribute to the writing of the aShTAdhyAyii. The tradition continued for a long time, but ultimately came to be perceived by many as difficult or even impractical, and so another approach was begun in the eleventh century CE, based on what is called prakriyA i.e. the pathways for deriving the various types of words or padas. After several attempts by different grammarians, this approach culminated in the seventeenth century CE with the writing of the vaiyAkaraNa-siddhAnta-kaumudii by bhaTToji dIkShita. Soon after that a miniature version of it, called the laghu-siddhAnta-kaumudii, was written by varadarAja. This new style left the order of pANini's sUtras behind, instead taking sUtras from the original text on an as-needed basis, to construct the words of the saMskRuta language.

pANini's aShTAdhyAyI provides all the raw ingredients for manufacturing the finished forms of saMskRuta nouns and verbs—but doesn't actually show the manufacture procedure. The approach taken by the vaiyAkaraNa-siddhAnta-kaumudii showed the actual procedures (prakriyA) and indeed the entire text was organized according to the various prakriyAs. But by so doing, the order of sUtras given in the aShTAdhyAyI was left behind. The prakriyA technique became the new way of studying pANinIya vyAkaraNam. From the time vaiyAkaraNa-siddhAnta-kaumudii gained prominence up to today itself, this has been the standard technique for teaching pANiNiiya vyAkaraNam.

The prakriyA approach shows all the procedures for constructing the finished forms of nouns and verbs, but has an essential weakness: the manner of presentation diverges from pANini's own. The entire material is organized by prakriyA, and not by the “type of work”. So the prakriyA method, although it does show the pathways for making all the padas, but it leaves behind the “car factory model” on which basis the aShTAdhyAyI was written. The car factory model is that system of modularization wherein each part of the car is made in a separate, specialized part of the factory—and when all the parts are made, the parts are brought together and assembled to create the finished product. In grammar, that means: (1) Doing one type of work at a time using one type of grammar machinery, so the mind excels in that type of work; and (2) Building the various parts of a pada separately, only assembling them together at the end.

More on How the New and Traditional Methods Vary

Here is an example of how mAtAji's method and the traditional prakriyA methods vary. You may know that in pANinIya vyAkaraNam, the verbs or dhAtus are divided into ten groups or gaNas. And the tenses or lakAras are also ten in number (these are: लट्‌, लिट्‌, लुट्‌, लृट्‌, लोट्‌, लङ्‌, विधिलिङ्‌, आशीर्लिङ्‌, लुङ्‌, लृङ्‌). Let us look in the laghu-siddhAnta-kaumudii (laghu) to see how these dhAtus and lakAras are taught. The first of the ten dhAtu-gaNas is called bhvAdi-gaNa. In bhvAdigaNa one dhAtu is taken, bhU is first. The prakriyA for making the finished forms of bhU in all ten tenses or lakAkaras is given sequentially: bhU-laT, then bhU-liT, then bhU-luT, then bhU-lRT, and so on through the ten lakAras. Once the ten lakAras are finished for bhU-dhAtu, then the next dhAtu is taken, "at" (अत्‌). This prakriyA for ten lakAras is given sequentially for at-dhAtu. When that is done, the prakriyA for ten lakAras is given sequentially for the next dhAtu, sidh (सिध्‌). In this way, ten lakAras' prakriyA is given for one after the next dhAtu: cit (चित्‌), shuc (शुच्‌), gad (गद्‌), and so on.

Traditional Method Presents Problems for the Learner

The problem with what has just been described above, is that these lakAras are not similar one to the next. They are different types of machinery. So the student gets exposed to the procedure for making bhU with laT, भवति, भवतः, भवन्ति etc. And as soon as it is finished, the procedure for making bhU with liT is given. Here बभूव, बभूवतुः, बभूवुः etc. And that is followed by bhU with luT, then with lRT, then with loT and so on. The problem is, laT is one type of grammar machinery, and liT is a totally different type of machinery! Then follow it with luT, yet another type of machinery. It is like a car-factory worker being trained in engine manufacture for a half-hour, then moving on to wheel-alignment for a half-hour, then on to seat manufacture for a half hour—how will he learn anything? In the laghu, this approach assails the would-be learner with a varied array of grammar machinery which is enough to baffle anyone. No sooner has the student gone through the pathways for deriving भवति, भवतः, भवन्ति, when without having the chance to master that, he/she is now faced with लिट्‌. Now, लट्‍ is what is called a सार्वधातुक-लकारः, while लिट्‌ an आर्धधातुक-लकारः i.e. is based on an entirely different machinery. There is simply no way for a person to master all these different skills in such a short span of time. The brain needs a chance to get good at one skill before moving on to the next. Take a worker trained to make engines and put him suddenly in the exhaust department, and he'll be disoriented and confused. The next day place him in the air-conditioning division and he'll throw up his hands in despair!

Indeed, what I have observed over the years with even full-time students of लघुसिद्धान्त कौमुदी and वैयाकरणसिद्धान्त-कौमुदी, is that these students tend to have a very theoretical knowledge. Because of the disparate nature of the knowledge organization, they have great difficulty incorporating what they've learned into the practical side of their brain and to use the forms they've learned in speech. Most of the time I've observed that they can recite pathways, but that is where the knowledge ends.

And with general persons in the society who have other professions and want to learn saMskRutam, the situation is even more extreme. One sees the laghu being introduced to such groups time and again in seminars, and hardly does anyone ever move beyond the introductory chapters. Indeed, for most the text is daunting and imposing, and for the reasons mentioned above does not invite the casual learner to achieve any sort of facility with what could otherwise be a fascinating and indeed intuitive learning experience.

mAtAji's Approach A Better Way

Whereas with mAtAji's approach, the approach is as follows: do laT with all 2000 dhAtus. Learn all the general rules and all the special rules of laT. Become an expert in laT! Then move on—but not to liT. Instead, move on to loT, lang, and vidhiling. Because laT, loT, lang, and vidhiling are all in the same family and use the same basic grammar machinery. So mAtAji has the learner become an expert in similar types of grammar machinery, gaining intensive practice in each and learning all the ins and outs. In this way one learns the grammar pathways extremely well. Not only that: One also becomes quickly able to use all the forms one is learning because it is a hands on, practical approach in which one masters one form of grammar machinery before moving on to the next.

So for example, take laT lakAraH. mAtAji has you learn every single permutation and combination, all the rules and all of the exceptions, involved with laT. Master every single form, and practice them all until mastered and the mind has them fully under its control. And about the 2000 dhAtus, yes mAtAji will make you an expert in all 2000 with laT. But don't worry about that! Because like the lakAras, mAtAji has also divided up the dhAtus into families according to the way pANini's sUtras work with them. There are fourteen groups of dhAtus, organized and divided according to the ending of the dhAtu. It is very easy.

Once laT is mastered, only then does mAtAji move on to the next form. And when she moves on, it is to loT not liT. Actually, there is no logic in the traditional sequence of study: लट्‌, लिट्‌, लुट्‌, लृट्‌, लोट्‌, लङ्‌, विधिलिङ्‌, आशीर्लिङ्‌, लुङ्‌, लृङ्‌. That is a mere convention based on the sequence of the वर्णमाला. mAtAji abandons this sequence and bases her sequence on the actual nature of pANini's grammar machinery. Those lakAras which have similar nature are grouped together and taught sequentially. Thus there are the सार्वधातुक-लकाराः (लट्‌, लोट्‌, लङ्‌, विधिलिङ्‌) and the आर्धधातुक-लकाराः (लिट्‌, लुट्‌, लृट्‌, आशीर्लिङ्‌, लुङ्‌, लृङ्‌). These two groups are taught completely separately. In this way the mind becomes like a very specialized surgeon, learning all the aspects of one area. Let the student master one machinery at a time! mAtAji has done just this; her methods are long-awaited and present tremendous relief to the learner, who can now set himself or herself to really mastering the forms at hand. For these reasons as well as the sheer strength of logic behind the approach and its high correspondence to the actual organization style in the अष्टाध्यायी, mAtA's methods literally represent a revolution in saMskRuta-vyAkaraNa-shikShaNam.

It should be mentioned here that the vaiyAkaraNa-siddhAnta-kaumudii and laghu-siddhAnta-kaumudii are excellent and needed texts—but for the general student they are best considered as reference texts. Those who want to become professional saMskRuta grammarians, will naturally study these as well as thoroughly learn them. But even here, mAtA's method should be learned first. It gives an outlook, a way of approach which is invaluable in approaching this vast and magnificent field.

The specialities of mAtA's approach are manifold and will be presented in greater detail in the third section in saMskRutam (मातुः पाठस्य वैलक्षण्यम्‌). Here is a brief summary of what you will find there:

Summary of main differences between the traditional approach and mAtA's revolutionary approach

• समग्रं चिन्तनम्‌ including all dhAtus at every step, not just one धातुरूपम्‌ | Rather than doing one dhAtu in all lakAras (as in siddhAntakaumudI), do all dhAtus in one lakAraH.
• लकाराणां क्रमः - आर्धधातुक-लकारः / सार्वधातुक-लकारः इत्यनयोः वैशिष्ट्यम्‌ (More on this in the third section).
• भिन्नं कार्यं भिन्ने प्रकोष्ठे | Modularity of approach. Dividing work into separate categories, and carrying each out separately.
• Categorization of the different types of dhAtus and dividing all the work according to these 14 categories. अजन्तधातवः, हलन्तधातवः | पुनः अजन्तधातुषु अकारान्ताः, आकारान्ताः, इकारान्ताः, ईकारान्ताः, उकारान्ताः, ऊकारान्ताः, ऋकारान्ताः, ॠकारान्ताः, एजन्ताः; हलन्तधातुषु अदुपधाः, इदुपधाः, उदुपधाः, ऋदुपधाः, शेषाः इति. These 14 categories have been assigned by mAtAji after noting that paNini's sUtras work according to these very categories.

In a nutshell, these changes amount to a vast change in the order of presentation of the material. The system of organizing the material has changed, thus making it tremendously accessible to the learner.

There are some final and important subjects to be addressed before moving on to the other pages of this site:

How to approach the lessons on this website

For most people, I recommend starting from the beginning and moving sequentially through the sections in the order in which they are presented. Even if you already have some background, it may be helpful to read through the first two sections prior to starting the third-- which is where mAtAji's pAThaH really begins. Because there are concepts and terms explained in especially the first section dhAtugaNa-paricayaH, which will be needed as you move on. If as you go through them you find you know them already, then just skim quickly through the various parts of section one to ensure you are familiar with everything therein.

If you do not know anything about pANinIya vyAkaraNam, then definitely start with the first section, called "1 - धातुगण-परिचयः" . That section is not something taught directly by mAtAji, but will give you a firm footing in the dhAtu-gaNas and in the concept of gaNa and its related sUtras. Proceed sequentially forward from there. In the third section -- aShTAdhyAyI-paricayaH, if it is your first time going through pANinIya-vyAkaraNaM, then I recommend just reading the first two chapters of this section for now. The rest of the chapters you can come back to after reading a bit more in the subsequent sections. If you do skip these other chapters of the third section, be sure to come back to them once you've become more familiar with the dhAtupAThaH; then you'll definitely be able to understand them and will at that time I hope find them quite helpful.

Note that in each lesson, at the bottom of the page is a fully formatted, downloadable, printable pdf file of that very lesson. Feel free to make use of these.

It should also be mentioned that each chapter has been addressed in one or more telephone classes, all of which have been recorded and made available on this site as downloadable mp3 files. So you can listen to us going through the same subject matter in a recorded session all in saMskRutam, and that is highly recommended. By both reading the material on this site and listening to it on the downloadable mp3 files, it will get more easily and solidly established in the mind. Many of the lessons have the related sound file placed directly at the top of that lesson's web page for easy listening and downloading. Also, all of our class sound files have been collected and placed in the eighth section of this site for easy access.

How this website came into existence

As mentioned, we have a telephone class on the subject of mAtAji's dhAtupAThaH wherein these subjects are discussed each Monday and Wednesday, from 9 pm – 10 pm. Handouts have been created through time for the class as the class progresses, and this website is the collection of those handouts. Because the class is still going on, handouts for all the subjects have not yet been made i.e. this is a site in development. Every week one or two new handouts are made for the class, and they will be added to the site as we move along each week. Anyone who would like to join the class is welcome! Just contact me at Swarup <[email protected]> and I'll give you the number to call and add your address to our forum where discussions occur and announcements are made. Alternatively, you can go to our googlegroups site and send a note there indicating you'd like to join. The google groups is called: “bhaashaapaakavargah”. Our email address is [email protected].

Our phone class has been going on for several years now, on various grammar-related subjects. It started with Hegde-Mahodaya's bhAShApAkaH vol I, hence the name of the varga. After completing that text, we read part of Hegde-Mahodaya' shuddhi-kaumudI, then covered a variety of subjects related with dhAtugaNas and guNaH. The handouts from that series have now become the first section of this site, "1- धातुगण-परिचयः ". Following that, we read a number of chapters of Hegde-Mahodaya's bhAShApAkaH vol II. That brought us through December 2012. January 2013 was mAtA's varga, and on my return to the US in March 2013 we began studying mAtA's dhAtu-pAThaH together. Since March 2013 we have been engaged in this very subject.

Credits and References

Starting with Section Three on this site, all the material contained herein has been lovingly taught by mAtAji. As mentioned, the students in that January 2013 varga were the gurukulIya students of the vidyApITha—and so the varga was taught at quite a high level. It would have been impossible for me to follow along without the invaluable tutelage of Shrii Tikarama Pandeya ( टीकारामपाण्डेयः) | TIkArAma-varyAH took it upon himself to make everything intelligible to me during the month at the Gurukulam, spending countless hours teaching me at all hours of the day and night, as well as by phone before and since. Everyone should be blessed with such a teacher! I also wish to thank all the permanent students—ranging in age from six to twenty-one!—at the vidyApITha who tirelessly made themselves available for my endless questions. And finally, respected Acarya Govinda Prasada Sharma at whose gurukulam (श्रीणिवास संस्कृत विद्यापीठ) the entire varga occurred. I am further indebted to this same Acarya Govinda Prasada Sharma, whose wonderfully lucid versions of the laghu-siddhAnta-kaumudI and vaiyAkaraNa-siddhAnta-kaumudii I make use of every day.

The material here is all based on the vyAkaraNaM of pANini; the approach for learning it, given by Smt Dr. Pushpa Diikshita. All credit for the material goes to her; if there are any errors in the presentation, they are mine alone. These website pages are the result of my notes and recordings taken during 1) the varga she gave in January 2013, 2) the countless hours spent by TIkArAma-varyAH in reviewing with me, 3) mAtA's two texts प्रक्रियानुसारी पाणिनीय धातुपाठः and अष्टाध्यायी सहजबोध.

The following text of mAtAji has been used extensively in creating this website: प्रक्रियानुसारी पाणिनीय धातुपाठः | It is highly recommended or if I may say, an essential companion, in approaching the material covered here. If you do not own a copy of this book, it can be purchased here .

The following text of mAtAji is also extremely helpful. Here mAtAji presents the entire अष्टाध्यायी, giving critical guidance throughout as to what each section of the अष्टाध्यायी is for. mAtAji's text is महर्षिपाणिनिप्रणीतः अष्टाध्यायीसूत्रपाठः, and it can be purchased here. If you are in India, then it will be easier to purchase directly from your local Samskrita Bharati office, or their India-based website.

A third text of mAtAji's which I have made extensive use of is her अष्टाध्यायी सहजबोध | This is a six-volume text, in Hindi, which divides the explanation of अष्टाध्यायी into six sections: सार्वधातुकप्रकरणम्‌, आर्धधातुकप्रकरणम्‌, कृदन्तप्रकरणम्‌, तद्धितप्रकरणम्‌, सुबन्तप्रकरणम्, कारकसमासप्रकरणम्, | It is truly excellent, and presents the अष्टाध्यायी in a way that all can understand.

Although I have written the handouts or chapters on this site, i.e. composed the sentences, but all the material is from mAtA. The selection of dhAtu's for presentation, the order of presentation, everything is based on mAtAji's lectures and her books. So there was no question of stating "this is from mAtAji" or "that is from mAtAji"; understand that everything is from mAtAji!

In providing explanation of the sUtras used on this site, I have made extensive direct use of Acarya Govinda Prasada Sharma's लघुसिद्धान्तकौमुदी and वैयाकरणसिद्धान्तकौमुदी | After most every sUtra on this site you will find a sentence which breaks the sutra into its components, telling the vibhakti of each and at the end how many padas are in the sutra. For example: लोटो लङ्वत् (३.४.८५) = "लोटः षष्ठ्यन्तं, लङ्‌वत्‌ अव्ययं, द्विपदमिदं सूत्रम्" | Such sentences are almost all direct quotes from one of these two texts. In a very few sUtras where I could not get that very sentence from these two texts, I have written them myself. I have not placed these directly quoted sentences in quote marks in the handouts for simplicity of presentation—but understand that these are straight quotes from Acaryaji's texts. I am very indebted indeed to Acarya Govinda Prasada Sharmaji for his straightforward and clear, no-nonsense writing style and teaching methods. I attended many of his daily early morning 6 am lectures at the gurukulam, and they were wonderful—presented in the same lucid, straightforward style that enabled all present to understand and learn.

Please do alert me to any errors you discover in the site pages, and they will be corrected in a timely way. Feedback and suggestions are also welcome. I can be reached at < [email protected] >

Let us get down to work!

  How to write in Sanskrit (Part 1)

First Steps

You must have the Sanskrit Alphabet at hand. If possible, you should print it out, because you will need it on many other occasions. Besides, have Transliterating (2) (English) (Transliteration) at hand (please, print it if you can) because you will need it too.

First of all, go to First strokes 1 and First strokes 2 in order to learn how to draw every Sanskrit character. Besides, Tables is another useful document you may use as a complement to the present one.

Very well. You see about 50 original letters in the Alphabet, but there are a lot more. These new letters are the Conjuncts, and they are formed from two or more original letters. Despite the Conjuncts will be analyzed later, have the Conjuncts document at hand, because you will need it. Print it if you can.

One writes Sanskrit just as English: left-right and up-down . The horizontal stroke is drawn at the end (except when one or more strokes are on top of it; in this case that stroke or those strokes are drawn at the end). For example, the letter "ta": त (firstly the hook, secondly the vertical stroke and at the end the horizontal stroke). No mistery about this process. It is very simple. But regarding the letters with stroke/s on the horizontal line such as the vowel "ai": ऐ (the stroke on top of the horizontal line is drawn after it, at the end).

It is very easy to use Virāma. For example: ठ - "a" = ठ् ("ṭha" minus "a" = "ṭh"). Very simple. Another example: ढ - "a" = ढ् ("ḍha" minus "a" = "ḍh"). And now, try to remove the "a" by adding Virāma to the consonants without any vertical stroke (except "ra"). The special behaviour of the "ra" will be explained later.

The Virāma is also used in a final consonant when it belongs to a word placed at the end of a sentence. If that consonant is at the end of a single word (standing alone), the Virāma is to be utilized too. But if the final consonant does not belong to a word placed at the end of a sentece, it is not generally used, except when chosen by the writer. Let us see three examples:

tat + sukham = that + happiness

When they are joined together:

तत्सुखम् = tatsukham

However, the writer of this sentece could have chosen to use Virāma in both of cases:

तत् सुखम् = tat sukham

You can see two Virāma-s added to "ta" ( त ) and "ma" ( म ). Thus, both of letters are turned into "t" ( त् ) and "m" ( म् ), respectively. But Virāma is generally added to the last consonant of a word placed at the end of a sentence or standing alone. For example: if I want to write only the aforesaid word "tat" (that), I have always to use Virāma:

Well, those are the easy-to-remember rules about Virāma. Go to Examples of Part 1 and practice over and over again.

  Conjuncts

A Conjunct is simply a group of consonants. All consonants of a Conjunct lack "a" except the last one. Of course, the last consonant can take any vowel apart from "a", but this vowel is always used to make "standard" Conjuncts. A Conjunct is composed of up to five consonants generally. (Go to Conjuncts document)

We could say that there are 4 groups of Conjuncts, the first one having 3 subgroups:

Conjuncts with their component elements fully discernible

• Conjuncts formed from several consonants written successively without piling up.
• Conjuncts formed from several consonants which are simply piled up.

Conjuncts with their component elements slightly discernible

Conjuncts formed from several consonants merged in each other to a certain extent. The consonants are hardly discernible.

Conjuncts with their component elements undiscernible

Conjuncts formed from several consonants fully merged in each other and forming an entirely new letter. The consonants are undiscernible.

Conjuncts with "ra"

These Conjuncts will be specially studied later. Therefore, no example will be given now.

And now go to the Examples of Conjuncts in order to keep learning.

  How to write in Sanskrit (Part 2)

Vowels (Simple)

You will learn now how to add other vowels apart from "a" to the consonants. Firstly, I will explain to you how to add "simple" vowels (short and long). Simple vowels are: a, ā, i, ī, u, ū, ṛ, ṝ, ḷ, ṁ, ḥ. The rest is "Diphthongs". Go to Tables for further help when you need it.

Most vowels you can see on the Sanskrit Alphabet document are used in the beginning of a word. In short, these vowels have no consonants previously. Just two vowels (ḥ --Visarga-- and ṁ --Anusvāra--) are never placed in the first place because they need vowel support to be pronounced. But when the vowels are not placed in the beginning; in short, when they come after a consonant, how should they be written? Will we have to write the "huge" signs found on the Sanskrit Alphabet document over and over again? Not at all, thank God! Every vowel has a respective abbreviation to be used after a consonant.

How to add "ā" after consonant

You do not need to add "a" because this vowel is already included in every Sanskrit consonant, which are syllabic. But you need to learn how to add "ā". It is very easy; simply add a vertical stroke. Look:

Go to Examples of Part 2 .

How to add "i" after consonant

And so on. However, you must remember the following: since "i" after consonant is indicated by a character placed on the left of the consonant, when you add "i" to a Conjunct, the Conjunct should be treated as if it was just one consonant . For instance:

Another example of this case:

"i" after consonant is the only character placed on the left of the consonant. So, no more problems about Conjuncts with the rest of vowels.

Go to Examples of Part 2 again.

How to add "ī" after consonant

How to add "u" after consonant

When the consonant has vertical stroke, put the character on the tip of that stroke. If the consonant has no vertical stroke, just add it below.

Exception: in "ra" the "u" is inserted in a different way:

How to add "ū" after consonant

Exception: in "ra" the "ū" is inserted in a different way:

How to add "ṛ" vowel after consonant

Exception: the "ha". Look how "ṛ" is to be inserted in "ha":

How to add "ṝ" vowel after consonant

How to add "ḷ" vowel after consonant

Just one consonant to give as example:

kḷ = ka + ḷ = कॢ kḷ

How to add "ṁ" vowel (Anusvāra) after consonant

In case of little space, just push it to the right. Use always common sense.

How to add "ḥ" vowel (Visarga) after consonant

In order to add Visarga (ḥ), just insert the following character after the consonant: : (two dots)

kaḥ = ka + ḥ = क + : = कः

maḥ = ma + ḥ = म + : = मः

  How to write in Sanskrit (Part 3)

Vowels (Diphthongs)

You will learn now how to add the following four diphthongs: e, ai, o and au, after a consonant. They are denominated "diphthongs" because they are formed from other vowels. Go to Tables for further help when you need it:

It is very simple to add them to a consonant. Look:

How to add "e" after consonant

Go to Examples of Part 3 .

How to add "ai" after consonant

Go to Examples of Part 3 again.

How to add "o" after consonant

The "o" character may appear incomplete or smaller when standing alone, but in "ko" and "mo" you can view it as it is.

How to add "au" after consonant

The "au" character may appear incomplete when standing alone, but in "kau" and "mau" you can view it as it is.

All vowels have been studied.

  How to write in Sanskrit (Part 4)

Using "r" before and after a consonant

How to add "r" before consonant

Go to Tables for further help when you need it.

The entire Conjunct is to be considered just one new consonant, that is to speak.

When Anusvāra is added to the Conjunct formed from "r" + "a consonant", you must draw the dot (Anusvāra) just in the midst of "r" (within it). Look:

And so on with the rest.

Go to Examples of Part 4 .

When the Conjunct is composed of several consonants, the "r" must be drawn just on top of the last consonant. Look:

Very simple.

Go to Examples of Part 4 again.

How to add "r" after consonant

1) If the consonant has a vertical line, just draw an oblique stroke downward, from the vertical line. Look:

kra = ka + r = क + an oblique stroke drawn downward = क्र

mra = ma + r = म + an oblique stroke drawn downward = म्र

pra = pa + r = प + an oblique stroke drawn downward = प्र

"śra" could be formed from śa + r = श + an oblique stroke drawn downward; but it is usually used the following character: श्र (which appears in Conjuncts )

2) If the consonant has no vertical line, just try to insert the oblique stroke in some convenient place (for example, an intersection or any appropriate place). Look:

dra= da + r = द + an oblique stroke drawn downward = द्र

hra = ha + r = ह + an oblique stroke drawn downward = ह्र

The same character may be used with some Conjuncts. For example:

Use always common sense in Sanskrit.

Dear friend, all letters have been studied now. If something could not be understood fully by you, be patient, because in Transliterating we will keep practicing.

  Examples of Part 1

All letters are writen left-right and up-down just as in English; and the horizontal line is drawn at the end, except when an additional stroke (or strokes) is on it (See First Strokes (1) and (2) for more information). Go to Tables for further help when you need it. Have the Sanskrit Alphabet at hand (a printed copy is recommended). Enlarge the Font size if necessary (Go to View menu above).

• Write the vowel "a" ( अ ). Firstly, draw the two curves downward. Secondly, draw the "connecting" stroke (left-right). Thirdly, draw the vertical stroke downward. And lastly, place the horizontal line (left-right). Very simple.
• Write the vowel "u" ( उ ). Firstly, draw the two curves downward. Lastly, the horizontal line (left-right).
• Write the vowel "e" ( ए ). Firstly, draw the "sinuous" stroke downward. Secondly, draw the short vertical stroke downward (at the end of it you must draw a very short stroke to the left and upward). Lastly, place the horizontal line (left-right) as if it was a kind of roof.
• Write the consonant "ka" ( क ). Draw the ellipse which is united with the downward curved stroke (firstly right-left, secondly left-right and lastly downward). Both ellipse and downward curved stroke are to be drawn simultaneously. Afterward, draw the vertical line (up-down) and lastly place the horizontal line (left-right).
• Write the consonant "ṅa" ( ङ ). Draw the "winding" stroke downward (of course the last part of it is upward). Then, place the point. And lastly, draw the horizontal line (left-right). Very easy!
• Write the consonant "cha" ( छ ). Firstly, draw the two curves downward and then the upward curve with a kind of curl at the end. Everything is to be drawn with just one stroke. Secondly, draw the very short connecting vertical line. Lastly, the horizontal line.
• Write the consonant "jha" ( झ ). Firstly, draw the "winding" stroke downward. Secondly, draw the very short connecting stroke (left-right). Thirdly, the vertical line (up-down). And lastly, the horizontal line (left-right).
• Write the rest of the letters by yourself. Good luck!

And now, let us see how to remove "a" from a consonant:

• Remove "a" from "da" in "sadguru" (true guru): Even though "da" is not a final consonant in this single word, the Virāma is to be added too, because "da" is without one vertical line. Look: sa + da + gu + ru = स + द + गु + रु is turned into sa + d + gu + ru = स + द् + गु + रु When you join the letters together: सद्‍गुरु or सद्गुरु I will teach you how to add "u" to the consonants later. Be patient.

  Examples of Conjuncts

The following Conjuncts are only a few examples. I have published a complete document on Conjuncts here .

Conjuncts formed from several consonants merged in each other to a certain extent. The consonants are hardly discernible. Let us see some examples:

No examples about the fourth kind of Conjuncts will be given by me here. I will explain it later.

How to Choose a Good Name for Sanskrit Business

These are some useful tips to help you choose a good name for your Sanskrit business:

1. Embrace Symbolism

Choose Sanskrit words that embody the essence of your business’s core values and offerings. Symbolism adds depth and resonance to your name.

• Satya Creations : This name infuses truthfulness and authenticity into a brand that creates genuine and ethical products.
• Ananda Ventures : “Ananda” means joy and bliss, making it an ideal name for a business that aims to bring happiness to its customers.
• Dharma Delights : “Dharma” signifies righteous living and moral principles, aligning perfectly with a business that offers products or services rooted in ethical values.

2. Evoke Emotion

Select Sanskrit words that evoke emotions relevant to your business. A name that stirs feelings in your audience can establish a strong connection.

• Kripa Caring: “Kripa” translates to compassion, making this a suitable name for a healthcare initiative that emphasizes care and empathy.
• Hridaya Harmony : “Hridaya” signifies the heart, infusing a sense of emotional balance and harmony into a wellness center’s identity.
• Utsaha Inspirations : “Utsaha” embodies enthusiasm, motivating individuals and conveying the purpose of a coaching service focused on inspiration.

3. Consider Phonetics

Opt for Sanskrit words that have pleasant sounds and are easy to pronounce. A name that rolls off the tongue effortlessly is more likely to be remembered.

• Amruta Organics : “Amruta” not only means nectar but also has a melodious sound, making it a charming choice for a natural products brand.
• Prana Foods : “Prana” denotes life force, and its phonetic simplicity suits a business focused on health-conscious food.
• Shabda Studios : “Shabda” translates to sound, and the phonetic appeal of the name suits a multimedia production house that thrives on audiovisual creativity.

4. Play with Alliteration

Red Sox DFA Veteran Pitcher To Make Room On Roster For Intriguing Hurler

Boston has a new hurler to take a look at after designating a veteran for assignment

• Author: Patrick McAvoy

In this story:

The Boston Red Sox are letting one of their veteran pitchers go after a rough start to the season.

Boston re-signed left-handed hurler Joely Rodriguez ahead of the 2024 campaign and he made the big league roster out of Spring Training. He hasn't really been able to get his footing to begin the season so Boston reportedly designated him for assignment to make room on the roster for Naoyuki Uwasawa, according to the Boston Globe's Alex Speier.

"The Red Sox called up Naoyuki Uwasawa from the WooSox, designating Joely Rodriguez for assignment to clear the roster spot," Speier said.

Uwasawa spent the majority of his professional baseball career to this point as a member of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball. The righty spent 11 seasons with Hokkaido and had a 3.42 ERA in 225 total appearances.

He was posted at the end of the 2023 season and initially signed with the Tampa Bay Rays. He triggered a clause in his contract and was traded to the Red Sox toward the end of March. Uwasawa appeared in three games with the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox and had a 4.80 ERA and 17-to-4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 15 innings pitched.

Uwasawa has been a starting pitcher throughout his career and likely will get a chance in the Boston rotation right now with injuries hurting the club. He's 30 years old and has had plenty of success throughout his big league career to this point so he's certainly someone to look out for Boston.

Kamala harris' secret service agent attacked supervisor, off assignment, kamala harris secret service agent off assignment ... attacked supervisor.

Kamala Harris ' Secret Service team faced a violent threat this week, having to defend one of their agents ... from one of their own!!!

Secret Service representative Anthony Guglielmi tells TMZ ... at around 9 AM Monday, a U.S. Secret Service special agent supporting the Vice President’s departure from Joint Base Andrews started to display signs his colleagues found distressing.

We're told they removed the agent from the assignment and summoned medical personnel. The Veep wasn't around when the incident occurred, and it did not affect her takeoff.

A federal source with direct knowledge tells us at least one of the distressing signs displayed by the agent was obvious ... as the agent attacked the detail's supervising agent.

Other outlets are reporting the agent who attacked the supervisor was reportedly handcuffed after the incident.

Harris was reportedly on her way from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to New York City ... where she was scheduled to appear on "The Drew Barrymore Show."

The Vice President was reportedly notified about the fight, though she hasn't made any public statement about the incident.
