Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 Dear List members, Please forgive me for asking a non-astrology question but I think it is indirectly related to astrology. I believe its good to know sanskrit and study astrology classics directly in sanskrit rather than the english translations. Because Sanskrit promotes holistic thought.Also, some translations may be inaccurate. Some of the list members seem to be from western background but they also know Sanskrit well. I never took the sanskrit subject in school and I just know a little from what my father taught me. I would like to take advice from members who learnt sanskrit on their own while not in India. Could someone recommend some books/courses, etc? Thanks Sagar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 _Teach Yourself Sanskrit_ by Michael Coulson (can't recall publisher, but check Amazon.com) is pretty good. Also, _Devaavan.iipraveshikaa: An Introduction to the Sanskrit Language_ (book and casettes) by Robert P. Goldman and Sally J. Sutherland (published by the Center for South and Southeast Asia Studies at the University of California, Berkeley) is quite nice. Additionally, George L. Hart's _A Rapid Sanskrit Method_, published by Motilal Banarsidass, is handy to have around. Best of luck! Sincerely, J.I.
