Sanskrit has an amazing ability to place words anywhere in a sentence, without any punctuation, and yet keep the meaning intact. This is due to its inflectional system of grammar. However, in English, the placement of words is rather fixed. What does it mean? Firstly that in English the Nouns maintain their spellings across usage and communication in the matter of being in the Subject or the Object or Instrument position, whereas in Sanskrit, the same Noun would change its spelling as its purpose changes. This book has been specifically written to make the reader aware of the noun spellings that undergo change as per usage, in an easy to follow intuitive matrix format. For the advanced Sanskrit learner, this text serves a fundamental purpose from the Panini Grammar point of view, as it lists the common nouns as they change spellings when the gender has changed masculine, feminine or neuter; or the case has changed nominative, accusative, instrumental, etc. Gives 7x3 Sup Affixes Matrix for Ready Reference with and without Tag letters Contains relevant Ashtadhyayi Sutras to help in the spelling changes due to Sandhi Lists Declension Process steps Lists the 6 types of Sarvanama Pronouns Indicates relevant template for each stem (if any) Gives the English Meaning for each word राम र् आ म् अ = masculine stem अ ending, अकारान्तः 1 रामः रामौ रामाः 2 रामम् रामौ रामान् 3 रामेण रामाभ्याम् रामैः 4 रामाय रामाभ्याम् रामेभ्यः 5 रामात् रामाभ्याम् रामेभ्यः 6 रामस्य रामयोः रामाणाम् 7 रामे रामयोः रामेषु V हे राम हे रामौ हे रामाः Similar stems देव God, मुकुन्द Krishna, शिव, हर Shiva meaning Rama, Lord

The Sanskrit Alphabet consists of Vowels, Semivowels, Nasals, Row class Consonants, Sibilants, Aspirate, and the Ayogavahas, new unseen sounds that result only during Talking and Chanting. In Speech what comes naturally is called Sandhi. As one speaks fluently, there is a merging of sounds of some of the Adjacent Words. A slight change in spelling is noticed accordingly while Speaking, the same when Written down is called Sandhi. Reading aloud an Avagraha and Visarga properly is what makes the language beautiful and lends power and grace to both the Speaker and the Listener. This book covers all major Sandhis, namely Svarana Dirgha, Guna, Vriddhi, Yan, Ayav, Jashtvam, Chartvam, Visarga, Anusvara, and many specific Sandhis used only during word-formation from the Roots. It explicitly mentions the correct Ashtadhyayi Sutra of Panini and lucidly explains the background process. A chapter on Vedic Sandhis covers the sounds known as Ayogavahas in some detail. A useful and complete book for the novice, the amateur or the Scholar.

The Sanskrit Alphabet consists of 56 Letters. There are Vowels, Semivowels, Row Class Consonants, Sibilants and the Aspirate. The Alphabet is called अक्षरम् in Sanskrit. Each letter is clearly enunciated with correct movement of the Tongue. Nasals lend a distinct twang and the Vedic chants are a delight to hear because of Accented Vowels. Reading an Avagraha, Ayogavaha, Visarga and Anusvara is properly explained as all the letters of the Alphabet are laid out threadbare. A section on Unicodes and Typesetting in Devanagari with fonts and keyboard IME supporting Vedic Extensions adds relevant value. While reading Vedic Texts, we notice some letters, characters and symbols that are in addition to the standard Sanskrit Alphabet. These characters are the accent marks, sandhi symbols, additional letters and punctuation, that are found in Vedic Sanskrit. There are various samhita recensions of the Veda manuscripts available today, and they differ in the usage of accents and symbols, and also in the enunciation while chanting aloud. Each ashram and gurukul and pundit or scholar needs to be aware of the tone and pitch during recitation and chanting of the Vedas. Even university professors and researchers delving into the Vedas need to be aware of the correct meaning and application of these verses. Furthermore, as we move from offset printing and metal type setting to the computer and smartphone era, this book serves as an invaluable resource. This book builds upon our popular title "The Sanskrit Alphabet". Infused with manuscript passages from the Satapatha Brahmana, Vajasaneyi Madhyandina Samhita, Samaveda and Krishna Yajurveda to illustrate Vedic Symbols. A useful and complete book for the novice, the amateur or the Scholar.

Many years ago, circa 600 BCE, a scientific treatise was written. The Grammar of the Sanskrit Language was crisply described by Panini. Sutras that were like code and a sort of computer program covered the entire Vykarana in less than 4000 statements. In the beginning of the code was an amazing tool-kit consisting of 14 lines, that came to be known as the Maheshwar Sutras. Just as we have advanced chemical equations or mathematical formulae, so are these Maheshwar Sutras, also called the Shiva Sutras. These Sutras are a special rearrangement of the Sanskrit Alphabet to cluster letters having some definite quality that can be used in WORD construction. There are two primary objectives achieved a) to define Arrays-of-Equivalence-of-Letters, and b) to introduce the concept of Meta Tags. Sound is an attribute of SPACE and the science behind sounds that construe the Alphabet is what it is all about. Certainly for the Scholar or a Pundit, an absolute treat.

In the historical study of the Indian grammarian tradition, a line of demarcation can often be drawn between the conformity of a system with the well-known grammar of Pāṇini and the explanatory effectiveness of that system. One element of Pāṇini’s grammar that scholars have sometimes struggled to bring across this line of demarcation is the theory of homogeneity, or sāvarṇya, which concerns the final consonants in Pāṇini’s reference catalog, as well as phonetic similarities between sounds. While modern Sanskrit scholars understand how to interpret and apply Pāṇini’s homogeneity, they still find it necessary to unravel the history of varying interpretations of the theory in subsequent grammars. Madhav Deshpande’s The Theory of Homogeneity provides a thorough account of the historical development of the theory. Proceeding first to study this conception in the Pāṇinian tradition, Deshpande then passes on to other grammatical systems. Deshpande gives attention not only to the definitions of homogeneity in these systems but also the implementation of the theory in those respective systems. Even where definitions are identical, the concept may be applied quite differently, in which cases Deshpande examines by considering the historical relationships among the various systems.

Upanishads are verses from the Vedas that have been compiled as independent and complete sets. Traditionally the verses in each Veda have been classified as Chanting portion and Analysis portion. Within the Analysis portion, a further sub-classification of verses has been done, namely Discussion, Research, Essential thought or guiding principle. This book gives a mathematical picture of the sacred syllable AUM and its relevance to the Waking, Dreaming and Sleeping states. The transcendental state is described as the fourth state. This book explains the crux of the verses in easy to grasp contemporary language. Contains original verse in Sanskrit with a Latin transliteration and an English commentary. For the Sanskrit enthusiast each verse has Word-boundary and Prose order with Cases. Uses clear well-spaced Devanagari font.
