Practical Sanskrit Part 3

By Alison Nielsen (premavratini@yahoo.com)

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5)

This month, we offer more Sanskrit words you may find to be useful. We also include a simple pronunciation key for your convenience. Sanskrit is actually more complicated and there are many subtleties to pronunciation that are not covered here.

Of course, if you are interested in Sanskrit, please take a course on the subject. Learning the language of nature will give you a deeper understanding of Jyotish and the entire world.

Basic Pronunciation Key:
A sounds like "ahhhh" as in "father"
E sounds like "ay" as in "hay"
I sounds like "eee" as in "leaf"
O sounds like "oh" as in "soap"
U sounds like "oo" as in "food"
