Sir these are quite expensive. Samskrita Bharati books are more affordable in cost and probably teach same levels. Pls visit samskritabharati.in for viewing available books before ordering expensive books.

Thank you very much, this is what I was looking for.
I think this one area of learning Samskrita requires more materials like
these. Different ways of reading the shloka, with different musical ways
etc.

Respected Sri Kolhatkar,
I have read that Gayatri has laghu and Guru syllables in the ratio of 22/7
(or 16 to 10). Is this true ? Are there other examples of meters of meters
with this ratio. Please also give a well known sloka as example as you
have done for the 31 meters. Maybe one or more of them follow the rule of
22/7 .
Thanks,
Balu

As a lover of Sanskrit it is extremely satisfying to see so many new books
available for those who wish to learn Sanskrit. Especially for the youth,
it is essential that textbooks are well presented and reader-friendly.
Here is a really fine set of 10 books for those who wish to learn Sanskrit.
These books have been designed for use in the St James Schools in London
but are perfectly suited for use by other students in other countries,
including India.
These beautifully printed books are the ideal gift for anyone who would
like to promote the study of Sanskrit, especially amongst the youth. These
books are perfectly designed for Westerners and Indian students who have no
exposure to Indian scripts and languages.
The books are well-graded and supported by appropriate illustrations that
make them very attractive to the young. Today, many Indian schools as well
as schools situated outside India offer Sanskrit studies. For such
students, these books are the perfect means of making friends with
Sanskrit. These books could be useful for those involved in the performing
arts: theatre, dance and music, esp. singing. They would be ideal for
students of Yoga and Ayurveda.
The first group of three books titled ‘Sanskrit Is Fun’ introduces learners
to the Devanagari script. Letters are grouped according to their place of
articulation called ‘family’ comprising both vowels and consonants.
Learners are first taught how to draw the letters. Learning is assisted by
the fact that the letters are presented in the form of animal figures. The
next step is to add vowel to the consonant. And then to teach joint
consonants. Finally, words and sentences are formed.
The second group of four books seeks to teach Sanskrit with reference to
the age old stories of Krishna and Rama. These stories which command an
interest of their own are pressed into service to teach vocabulary, the
formation of nouns and the conjugation of verbs in all three tenses.
Adjectives and prepositions are also covered.
The third group of three books retells the epic Mahabharata in simple
Sanskrit episodes which gradually develop a student’s knowledge of grammar.
In each chapter, a theme which appears in the Sanskrit epic is also
discussed. It makes sense for students to have completed studying the first
two groups of books before starting these books.
By the time learners have completed this course, they will have a good
basic grasp of the Sanskrit language, its vocabulary, structure and
grammar. These books are an attempt to teach Sanskrit in a simple and
systematic manner that may well dispel the notion that Sanskrit is a
difficult language.
This set of 10 books is superb for all those who wish to learn Sanskrit
through the medium of English. We are happy and proud to promote this set
along with other Sanskrit learning materials.
