Cursive Sanskrit ... a good book

**Cursive Sanskrit ... a good book -** 03-21-2004, 05:55 PM

This book I received in the mail and am using to some success:

Sanskrit Workbook: Learning the Alphabet by Thomas Egenes.

This is published by Maharshi University, so some of you might
already be familiar with his work.

The book is nice and simple. A child could use it. It has the
directional flow the pen should take to write letters. It also has
pronunciation and other things. Very usable.

The one thing he does not show is, how to handle the long cross bar
when joining letters, or at least, I have not found it yet.

I acquired mine used at Amazon. Don't pay a whole lot for this book,
some people are taking advantage of the fact it is a little hard to
find and charging $150 ... it should cost $20 or so, used.

Thank you, Steve, for this source. I would like to start learning to write the
letters.
