Gurukul is a sacred place, where intense devotion flowers at the lotus feet of the Master. A gurukul is one of the rare systems of education, still surviving in isolated places on planet earth, on the basis of the lineage of the ancient times, when school was more than classroom and extracurricular activity. Schooling in a Gurukul focusses on personality, character, integrity and honesty. It is a complete system of upbringing a human being.This edition gives exhaustive scanned class notes on the various subject taught, viz: -TAITTIRIYA UPANISHAD-BRAHMA SUTRA-GITA BHASHYA AND KATHOPANISHAD-SANSKRIT ALPHABET-VERBS SANSKRIT GRAMMAR-NOUNS SANSKRIT GRAMMAR-KARAKA SANSKRIT GRAMMAR-SAMASA SANSKRIT GRAMMAR------------A scanned diary of study class notes at gurukul during a 3 year Vedanta and Sanskrit course.Contains Full Color Plates.

Sanskrit is coming of Age. More and more Colleges and Universities are offering a degree course in this lingua franca of yore. Many schools across Europe and America are introducing Sanskrit to young learners. In India too there is a revival across the length and breadth, with committed organizations working to reach out to adults and children all over.To understand Sanskrit Grammar, the basic stuff is all about knowing the correct spelling of NOUNS and VERBS.

This book is a seminal work on the Dhatupatha of Panini, Roots of the Sanskrit Language. It contains Sanskrit text and English commentary. It includes Accents and Meanings for each Root. Verbs are the backbone of any sentence. How may one write or understand a Sanskrit sentence without knowing the exact spelling of Verbs? This was our motive when we began writing this book. 1. Verb Conjugation Tables are given for the 5 Lakaras that are prominent in literature and are in daily use in the Modern context. Lat Present Tense, LRt Future Tense, Lot Imperative Mood, Lang Past Tense, VidhiLing Potential Mood. Relevant Ashtadhyayi Sutra is indicated whenever a Dhatu is complex to conjugate. For Ubhayepadi Dhatus, both Parasmaipada and Atmanepada forms are listed. 2. Additionally the Reader is introduced to the Lat Passive Voice forms for each Root. 3. Nishtha Participles are also given as it is a kRt affix, to make the book useful and complete. The work is in 3 Volumes, with Roots listed in the correct Panini order. Vol1 Contains Roots of gana 1c to 5c, Dhatu Serial Number 1 to 1280 Vol2 Contains Roots of gana 6c to 10c, Dhatu Serial Number 1281 to 1943 Vol3 Contains Dhatupatha, KandvAdi Gana, Relevant Ashtadhyayi Sutras, Vartikas, Karikas, Sautra Dhatus, GanaSutras, Tag Letters and Indexes The person (third person HE, second person YOU, etc.) and number (singular ONE APPLE, plural THREE APPLES, etc.) that are commonly used in English Grammar for sentence syntax, structure and meaning are Conjugated in Sanskrit within the Verb itself. This means that the person (SHE, IT, etc.) and number (BOTH ITEMS, MANY ITEMS, etc.) are not separate words in a Sanskrit sentence. The Verb in a Sanskrit sentence contains such information intrinsically. This is done by taking a Verb Stem and applying suffixes to it in a matrix of 3x3. The correct spelling for each Verb in 3 persons and numbers makes it a highly useful Edition for Grammar Schools and Vedanta Gurukuls.

Making a new Font is a time-consuming yet rewarding task. Making a Devanagari Font with Indic Shaping features in Open Type Design is especially challenging.

The key to proper grasp of Sanskrit Grammar, especially the formation of Verbs from Roots, lies in a sound understanding of 1. Maheshwar Sutras, 2. Pratyaharas, 3. Place and Effort of Enunciation, 4. Homogeneous Letters, 5. Sandhi Rules, 6. Tag Letters of Dhatus and last but not the least 7. Knowing the FINAL Letter of each Dhatu and 8. Knowing the PENULTIMATE Letter of each Dhatu. All of this has been lucidly explained and properly delved into, with a note on the Ashtadhyayi Sutras needed in deriving and conjugating Verbs.

Clarity in the workings of the MIND, the SENSES, the MEMORY.A synthesis of KARMA JNANA BHAKTI from this ancient text, that graces the home of every Indian, and is read all over the globe.------Contains original Sanskrit verses and a succinct translation.न मे विदुस् सुरगणाः, प्रभवं न महर्षयः ।अहम् आदिर् हि देवानाम्, महर्षीणां च सर्वशः ॥ १०.२10.2 Neither the denizens of heaven, nor the skilled intellectuals have any clue to the Divine presence, since Divinity is far ahead of the greatest intellect as well as of the heavenly abode. यो माम् अजम् अनादिं च, वेत्ति लोकमहेश्वरम् ।असम्मूढस् स मर्त्येषु, सर्वपापैᳲ प्रमुच्यते ॥ १०.३10.3 The humble disciple who reposes faith in the eternal timeless Supreme force, his veil drops and he attains freedom from the vagaries of change.

The Bhagavad Gita is a Song. It is a song Divine. It is sung by the Lord Himself and His dearest Devotee. Most of us in Bharata love to chant shlokas from the Gita. The mellifluous singing makes the atmosphere come alive. This book gives each of the 700 Bhagavad Gita verses in 4 padas. The pauses are correctly placed, using Sanskrit Grammar rules of sandhi and conjuncts. Visarga and Anusvara are correctly spelt at the pause. The Introduction is in English to help one understand the mechanics of Chanting and Grammar. The verses are in beautiful and clear set Devanagari font. This enables one to know where to pause during reading, and to help perfect a serious chanter in his Enunciation. It thus bridges the learning curve and makes proper recital of the Bhagavad Gita an easy task. There are 2 sections in the book. Section 1 gives each of the 700 verses in four quarters. It caters to regular readers of the Gita. Section 2 gives the verses in four quarters with appropriate changes to the visarga so that while chanting the correct sound is produced. It also mentions version differences if any in standard editions of the Gita. This will benefit beginners and help even serious chanters in their pronounciation. It has long been felt that most of us read only the translation or the essence of the verses, and rarely do we read aloud the Sanskrit Verses. This book is an effort to awaken interest in speaking the Sanskrit Verses also. Chanting correctly helps in many ways, including improvement in memory, confidence and concentration. It also realigns one to be more committed to wisdom. A first of kind book that will deepen the interest in the Gita and appeal to readers of all backgrounds.

each of the 700 verses of the Gita is capable of delivering, of winning, of giving the direct and full answer.just as a smartphone has tons of apps, all different, all unique yet wholly complete by themselves.just as a wardrobe has so many clothes and shoes, all different, yet each befitting.just as you have facebook friends and contacts. each unique yet capable.just as Guruji answers someone's query in Satsang. It is a specific question. It is a specific answer. Yet it weaves its magic on all. Satisfies many. each of Sri Sri's answers as if meant for one enlightens all.So it is with the Gita. the verses are weaved together by a magician. they are placed by a divine hand.The verses are interspersed and knitted and dyed and woven. Are made up of cottons and silks, nylons and polyester, wool and acrylic, and every yarn under the sun.the weaving is so deft, smooth, and soft, so cozy, nice and comfortable.that one may miss the hues shades nuances emotions events and truths.But one cannot miss the impact! So one may ask; Who is the Gita for? Who benefits? How benefits?The Bhagavad Gita is spoken by the Lord. Who doth the Lord address?The entire creation of course. He addresses every single man woman and child. He addresses every single plant herb and tree. Every piece of matter animate or inanimate. Every ray of energy, no matter whether it is in the visible spectrum or beyond. The Gita is about Life. It is about Dinacharya. About Ritucharya. About what to do when.How to live, how to LOVE.How to be well.How to plan and how to act. What to think and what to speak.About what qualities to nourish. what goals to achieve. About how to meet deadlines and targets. It applies not only to mankind. It also applies to machines and electronics. It applies also to the Natural Laws and to the life-forms we know and do not know. It is a complete textbook. A finely detailed user manual to strengthen one's MIND. Nourish the SOUL.

Many times we wonder, is there something definite that will give us succour? Scriptures are many, so are the practices. Isn't there a simple technique that will really enhance the CHI in Life?We quite understand it the MIND that is the primary agent that rules our lives. Apart from taking care of our Responsibilities, doing our Exercises and Eating properly, what next?Aphorism 2.27 from the Sadhana Pada, Patanjali Yoga Sutras.tasya saptadhā prāntabhūmiḥ prajñā ॥ 2.27 ॥PATANJALI was a visionary who solved all such dilemmas in terse verses. In fact the most potent verses with an extraordinary healing quality are just 7 in number. Meditate on them, Ruminate on them, Recall them to see how the mind MAGICALLY resets and becomes a TRUE FRIEND.

Bhakti is a very special attitude. It is a rare kind of lifestyle. It requires tremendous guts, large-heartedness and purity of vision. Narada was an adventurer from long ago, who exemplified the qualities of a Bhakta.We have heard the famous quote - Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder. This is what Narada lived. To him each and every one was divine, so he extended his hand to the cruelest sinner and to the most benevolent king. He went out of his way to have a dialogue with serpents and goblins - braving harsh mountains and rough weathers - demons and despots, commoners, officers, soldiers, saints and children. Narada exuded such warmth and caring, he brought such innocence and spontaneity in his wake, that he not only infused his surroundings with vitality, but also imparted a measure of grace.This is the story of the values he lived, that an ancient sage penned down. It has come down to us as priceless nuggets evoking awe and inspiration. It has the charm of taking us on a journey to freedom.For the students of Sanskrit grammar, copious notes giving the case of each word have been clearly listed.

Our scriptures define Maya in many words and stories, using parables and analogies. This world is just an appearance. It is a seeming projection. Even though most of us have heard it and commonly use the word MAYA, we do not really know what it is and thus overcoming it is out of the question. This book attempts to throw light on this subtle reality in carefully chosen words that are easily understood, and perhaps point a way for the serious seeker who is struggling to escape its clutches.What is Maya 1.It is neither Truth 2.Nor is it unTruth3.And it is neither bothPonder...ponder...ponder...Let us read between the lines to arrive at: 1.Maya is not Truth - replace Truth with its synonym Existence.

Marma is based on the model of a lighted being or the consciousness that fills all human beings and flows and radiates through our thoughts and emotions, nerves and tissues.Due to 5 factors, viz. 1.lifestyle, 2.upbringing, 3.perceived notions, 4.relationships, and 5. personal set of values, these light beams get scattered away from their normal flow. Some beams lose their amplitude, others lose their direction. Yet others lose their intensity or focus. This is what results in illness, pain, grief, guilt, fear and weakness.Marma Chikitsa or Therapy is a revolutionary technique to normalize and balance the light body. Though mentioned in the ancient texts, in the modern context it is only recently being rediscovered and reapplied. When it came to healing and restoring fitness, the ancients rarely looked at anatomy as a mass of muscle, tissue, bone or organ. Rather, they perceived it as a body of glowing consciousness, and used the time honored techniques of Meditation, Massage, Showering, Walking, soft Touch, Pranayama and Yoga.¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ ¿ Thigh and lower anatomy marma points list.¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1-¿¿¿¿¿¿2-¿¿¿¿¿3-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿4-¿¿¿¿¿5-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿6-¿¿¿¿7-¿¿¿8-¿¿¿¿¿9-¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿10 ¿¿¿¿¿11 ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿ 11 vi¿apa (topmost point in this list)¿ 10 lohit¿k¿a¿ 9 ¿rv¿ (also spelt urv¿)¿ 8 ¿¿i¿ 7 j¿nu¿ 6 indrabasti¿ 5 gulpha¿ 4 k¿rcäira¿ 3 k¿rca¿ 2 talah¿daya¿ 1 k¿ipra (bottommost point in this list)These points are listed in sequence of vertical location top to bottom of anatomy.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ | These are mirrored points in each leg, so a count of 22 points.Note: Marma points Vi¿apa, J¿nu and Gulpha in leg correspond to Kak¿adhara, K¿rpara and Mäibandha in arm resp.-------------------This book presents the Marma section from the Sushruta Samhita, and lists simple ways to get back to peak health and total fitness. -------------------Contains Full Color Plates.Contains Charts for all 107 Marma Points.

The Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad is attributed to the Atharvaveda.
