Review
"For all those interested in the Sacred, this beautifully conceived book is an expanded, detailed, contemporary exploration of an ancient language designed to be a guide for living in harmony with all of nature." ― Danny Paradise, International Ashtānga Yoga Instructor, Songwriter, Filmmaker

Book Description

Joseph Campbell called Sanskrit "the great spiritual language of the world." Designed by ancient Indian holy men to express the states of enlightened consciousness through syllabic sounds, Sanskrit is widely used in the West during yoga practice to channel spiritual pathways and to discuss important meditative and philosophical concepts. This book introduces 180 Sanskrit words (including chakra, karma, om, namaste, veda, nirvana) with Devanagari scripts, pronunciations, chants and brief cultural/historic explanations. A practical reference that makes an excellent gift book for any student of yoga, meditation, or Eastern religion.

Leza Lowitz is a much-published writer, award-winning translator, and Director of Sun and Moon Yoga Studio in Tokyo.

Reema Datta grew up in India and teaches Ashtanga yoga and Ayurvedic cooking in San Francisco.
