Interesting,
This review is from: Sacred Sanskrit Words (Paperback)
This book is written in a very clear and organized way and it is easy to understand even for people who have no prior knowledge of Sanskrit. It is, however limited on Sanskrit words used in Yoga and therefore not the right thing for someone who is looking for a book that includes also terms outside of this area.
Gives alot of insight into the life philosophies of Yoga as well and includes Mantras for daily meditation.

Exceptionally clear and easy to understand guide to Sanskrit,
By Suza Francina "Suza Francina, author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sacred Sanskrit Words (Paperback)
Sacred Sanskrit Words is the perfect book for yoga teachers like myself who want to learn the meaning of the most often used Sanskrit words. The writing is exceptionally clear and easy to understand, and encourages and inspires the reader to go forward and learn more! As I read this book I began to understand that through Sanskrit we have the opportunity to come into the realm of a sacred language that is timeless and eternal. I highly recommend this thoughtful and illuminating book to all students of yoga as well as philosophers, theologians, scientists, health practitioners, musicians, historians and anyone else interested in exploring the cosmos and workings of the mind and soul.

Introducing more than 160 spiritually significant Sanskrit words,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sacred Sanskrit Words (Paperback)
Sacred Sanskrit Words For Yoga, Chant, And Meditation is the collaborative work of experienced and expert yoga instructors Leza Lowitz and Reema Datta. Introducing more than 160 spiritually significant Sanskrit words (including some of which like karma , nirvana, and chakra have entered the English language) with Devangari scripts, pronunciations, chants, and brief cultural as well as historical explanations, Sacred Sanskrit Words is a practical and exceptionally portable paperback reference book with native script renderings large enough to reproduce as tattoos or decorative art. Especially recommended as a resource for dedicated students of yoga, and meditation, Sacred Sanskrit Words is an invaluable addition to personal and academic library Eastern Religion reference collections and supplemental studies lists.

very informative,
By Robert W. Smith "Robert Smith, Ph.D." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sacred Sanskrit Words (Paperback)
this is a very well crafted book. it is 200 plus pages length. it contains many of the basic sanskrit words, written in both sanskrit and english translations. this is an outstanding general text for especially those with an interest in yoga or spiritual traditions. this is not a scholarly text. for the price, i found it a delightful read and useful as a book for periodic review.
