Making Sense of Sanskrit An Intelligent Seeker’s Guide to Understanding the Philosophical and Mystical Language of the Seers. We are delighted to announce that our long-awaited Sanskrit Glossary is finally available. This is not a dictionary for scholars, so you won’t find every Sanskrit word in it. But it is an extremely comprehensive Working Glossary for the ordinary seeker, containing countless unexplained spiritual and philosophical words that you are likely to encounter in your reading of Indian spiritual books and texts. The Glossary
does not simply explain the grammatical meaning of words like any ordinary
dictionary, but constitutes a mystic’s understanding of meanings and
deliberations over a lifetime of study and experience. It will save you years
of wondering about obscure meanings and even obscurer spellings. Almost every
area of Although some words only need a simple explanation, other entries will go much further in answering a seeker’s long-standing questions. Here you will find meanings and understandings you won’t find in the dry grammarian’s dictionaries, together with elaborated comment on certain words. It also includes particular meanings to words given by sages such as Sri Aurobindo, Krishnamacharya, Nisargadatta, Ramana Maharshi, Satyananda, etc. Some entries will throw light on little known secrets of yoga, ultimately revealing the hidden mysteries of spiritual life that you are unlikely to find elsewhere. The Glossary also offers you: Pronunciation: How to correctly pronounce words so often incorrectly passed on to students in the West, even such commonly mispronounced words such as asana, mandala, Himalaya; or more complicated-looking words like Pratibhijnahridayam or Sodasopacara and so forth. Synonyms and antonyms: Sanskrit terms and their opposite meanings are given for many words. Bibliographies: Lists of books on a particular subject to further your researches in relation to a specific word or concept. Descriptions: of some major texts and lists of different translations available by ancient and contemporary authors. The Glossary is extensively cross-referenced with words written in bold type, reminding you to look up related words or subjects in other sections. Please note that this work will be constantly updated and developed, as and when time allows. Some words with only a brief description you may find with a fuller explanation in a later edition. Occasionally, you may find words with no description at all, which indicates that they are going to be explained in later editions. Keep on checking for new editions! N.B.
