Learning Sanskrit - Writing
How to write in sanskrit.
Introduction
Well, you have learnt in the series of First Steps documents some important things about Sanskrit. And now you will learn how to write in Sanskrit. Even though you do not know grammar enough to make sentences by yourself, you can learn how to "draw" Sanskrit characters. Besides, you will learn how to join them together in order to form words.
Let us get down to work!
How to write in Sanskrit (Part 1)
First Steps
You must have the Sanskrit Alphabet at hand. If possible, you should print it out, because you will need it on many other occasions. Besides, have Transliterating (2) (English) (Transliteration) at hand (please, print it if you can) because you will need it too.
First of all, go to First strokes 1 and First strokes 2 in order to learn how to draw every Sanskrit character. Besides, Tables is another useful document you may use as a complement to the present one.
Very well. You see about 50 original letters in the Alphabet, but there are a lot more. These new letters are the Conjuncts, and they are formed from two or more original letters. Despite the Conjuncts will be analyzed later, have the Conjuncts document at hand, because you will need it. Print it if you can.
One writes Sanskrit just as English: left-right and up-down . The horizontal stroke is drawn at the end (except when one or more strokes are on top of it; in this case that stroke or those strokes are drawn at the end). For example, the letter "ta": त (firstly the hook, secondly the vertical stroke and at the end the horizontal stroke). No mistery about this process. It is very simple. But regarding the letters with stroke/s on the horizontal line such as the vowel "ai": ऐ (the stroke on top of the horizontal line is drawn after it, at the end).
It is very easy to use Virāma. For example: ठ - "a" = ठ् ("ṭha" minus "a" = "ṭh"). Very simple. Another example: ढ - "a" = ढ् ("ḍha" minus "a" = "ḍh"). And now, try to remove the "a" by adding Virāma to the consonants without any vertical stroke (except "ra"). The special behaviour of the "ra" will be explained later.
The Virāma is also used in a final consonant when it belongs to a word placed at the end of a sentence. If that consonant is at the end of a single word (standing alone), the Virāma is to be utilized too. But if the final consonant does not belong to a word placed at the end of a sentece, it is not generally used, except when chosen by the writer. Let us see three examples:
tat + sukham = that + happiness
When they are joined together:
तत्सुखम् = tatsukham
However, the writer of this sentece could have chosen to use Virāma in both of cases:
तत् सुखम् = tat sukham
You can see two Virāma-s added to "ta" ( त ) and "ma" ( म ). Thus, both of letters are turned into "t" ( त् ) and "m" ( म् ), respectively. But Virāma is generally added to the last consonant of a word placed at the end of a sentence or standing alone. For example: if I want to write only the aforesaid word "tat" (that), I have always to use Virāma:
Well, those are the easy-to-remember rules about Virāma. Go to Examples of Part 1 and practice over and over again.
Conjuncts
A Conjunct is simply a group of consonants. All consonants of a Conjunct lack "a" except the last one. Of course, the last consonant can take any vowel apart from "a", but this vowel is always used to make "standard" Conjuncts. A Conjunct is composed of up to five consonants generally. (Go to Conjuncts document)
We could say that there are 4 groups of Conjuncts, the first one having 3 subgroups:
Conjuncts with their component elements fully discernible
Conjuncts formed from several consonants written successively without piling up.
Conjuncts formed from several consonants which are simply piled up.
Conjuncts with their component elements slightly discernible
Conjuncts formed from several consonants merged in each other to a certain extent. The consonants are hardly discernible.
Conjuncts with their component elements undiscernible
Conjuncts formed from several consonants fully merged in each other and forming an entirely new letter. The consonants are undiscernible.
Conjuncts with "ra"
These Conjuncts will be specially studied later. Therefore, no example will be given now.
And now go to the Examples of Conjuncts in order to keep learning.
How to write in Sanskrit (Part 2)
Vowels (Simple)
You will learn now how to add other vowels apart from "a" to the consonants. Firstly, I will explain to you how to add "simple" vowels (short and long). Simple vowels are: a, ā, i, ī, u, ū, ṛ, ṝ, ḷ, ṁ, ḥ. The rest is "Diphthongs". Go to Tables for further help when you need it.
Most vowels you can see on the Sanskrit Alphabet document are used in the beginning of a word. In short, these vowels have no consonants previously. Just two vowels (ḥ --Visarga-- and ṁ --Anusvāra--) are never placed in the first place because they need vowel support to be pronounced. But when the vowels are not placed in the beginning; in short, when they come after a consonant, how should they be written? Will we have to write the "huge" signs found on the Sanskrit Alphabet document over and over again? Not at all, thank God! Every vowel has a respective abbreviation to be used after a consonant.
How to add "ā" after consonant
You do not need to add "a" because this vowel is already included in every Sanskrit consonant, which are syllabic. But you need to learn how to add "ā". It is very easy; simply add a vertical stroke. Look:
Go to Examples of Part 2 .
How to add "i" after consonant
And so on. However, you must remember the following: since "i" after consonant is indicated by a character placed on the left of the consonant, when you add "i" to a Conjunct, the Conjunct should be treated as if it was just one consonant . For instance:
Another example of this case:
"i" after consonant is the only character placed on the left of the consonant. So, no more problems about Conjuncts with the rest of vowels.
Go to Examples of Part 2 again.
How to add "ī" after consonant
How to add "u" after consonant
When the consonant has vertical stroke, put the character on the tip of that stroke. If the consonant has no vertical stroke, just add it below.
Exception: in "ra" the "u" is inserted in a different way:
How to add "ū" after consonant
Exception: in "ra" the "ū" is inserted in a different way:
How to add "ṛ" vowel after consonant
Exception: the "ha". Look how "ṛ" is to be inserted in "ha":
How to add "ṝ" vowel after consonant
How to add "ḷ" vowel after consonant
Just one consonant to give as example:
kḷ = ka + ḷ = कॢ kḷ
How to add "ṁ" vowel (Anusvāra) after consonant
In case of little space, just push it to the right. Use always common sense.
How to add "ḥ" vowel (Visarga) after consonant
In order to add Visarga (ḥ), just insert the following character after the consonant: : (two dots)
kaḥ = ka + ḥ = क + : = कः
maḥ = ma + ḥ = म + : = मः
How to write in Sanskrit (Part 3)
Vowels (Diphthongs)
You will learn now how to add the following four diphthongs: e, ai, o and au, after a consonant. They are denominated "diphthongs" because they are formed from other vowels. Go to Tables for further help when you need it:
It is very simple to add them to a consonant. Look:
How to add "e" after consonant
Go to Examples of Part 3 .
How to add "ai" after consonant
Go to Examples of Part 3 again.
How to add "o" after consonant
The "o" character may appear incomplete or smaller when standing alone, but in "ko" and "mo" you can view it as it is.
How to add "au" after consonant
The "au" character may appear incomplete when standing alone, but in "kau" and "mau" you can view it as it is.
All vowels have been studied.
How to write in Sanskrit (Part 4)
Using "r" before and after a consonant
How to add "r" before consonant
Go to Tables for further help when you need it.
The entire Conjunct is to be considered just one new consonant, that is to speak.
When Anusvāra is added to the Conjunct formed from "r" + "a consonant", you must draw the dot (Anusvāra) just in the midst of "r" (within it). Look:
And so on with the rest.
Go to Examples of Part 4 .
When the Conjunct is composed of several consonants, the "r" must be drawn just on top of the last consonant. Look:
Very simple.
Go to Examples of Part 4 again.
How to add "r" after consonant
1) If the consonant has a vertical line, just draw an oblique stroke downward, from the vertical line. Look:
kra = ka + r = क + an oblique stroke drawn downward = क्र
mra = ma + r = म + an oblique stroke drawn downward = म्र
pra = pa + r = प + an oblique stroke drawn downward = प्र
"śra" could be formed from śa + r = श + an oblique stroke drawn downward; but it is usually used the following character: श्र (which appears in Conjuncts )
2) If the consonant has no vertical line, just try to insert the oblique stroke in some convenient place (for example, an intersection or any appropriate place). Look:
dra= da + r = द + an oblique stroke drawn downward = द्र
hra = ha + r = ह + an oblique stroke drawn downward = ह्र
The same character may be used with some Conjuncts. For example:
Use always common sense in Sanskrit.
Dear friend, all letters have been studied now. If something could not be understood fully by you, be patient, because in Transliterating we will keep practicing.
Examples of Part 1
All letters are writen left-right and up-down just as in English; and the horizontal line is drawn at the end, except when an additional stroke (or strokes) is on it (See First Strokes (1) and (2) for more information). Go to Tables for further help when you need it. Have the Sanskrit Alphabet at hand (a printed copy is recommended). Enlarge the Font size if necessary (Go to View menu above).
Write the vowel "a" ( अ ). Firstly, draw the two curves downward. Secondly, draw the "connecting" stroke (left-right). Thirdly, draw the vertical stroke downward. And lastly, place the horizontal line (left-right). Very simple.
Write the vowel "u" ( उ ). Firstly, draw the two curves downward. Lastly, the horizontal line (left-right).
Write the vowel "e" ( ए ). Firstly, draw the "sinuous" stroke downward. Secondly, draw the short vertical stroke downward (at the end of it you must draw a very short stroke to the left and upward). Lastly, place the horizontal line (left-right) as if it was a kind of roof.
Write the consonant "ka" ( क ). Draw the ellipse which is united with the downward curved stroke (firstly right-left, secondly left-right and lastly downward). Both ellipse and downward curved stroke are to be drawn simultaneously. Afterward, draw the vertical line (up-down) and lastly place the horizontal line (left-right).
Write the consonant "ṅa" ( ङ ). Draw the "winding" stroke downward (of course the last part of it is upward). Then, place the point. And lastly, draw the horizontal line (left-right). Very easy!
Write the consonant "cha" ( छ ). Firstly, draw the two curves downward and then the upward curve with a kind of curl at the end. Everything is to be drawn with just one stroke. Secondly, draw the very short connecting vertical line. Lastly, the horizontal line.
Write the consonant "jha" ( झ ). Firstly, draw the "winding" stroke downward. Secondly, draw the very short connecting stroke (left-right). Thirdly, the vertical line (up-down). And lastly, the horizontal line (left-right).
Write the rest of the letters by yourself. Good luck!
And now, let us see how to remove "a" from a consonant:
Remove "a" from "da" in "sadguru" (true guru): Even though "da" is not a final consonant in this single word, the Virāma is to be added too, because "da" is without one vertical line. Look: sa + da + gu + ru = स + द + गु + रु is turned into sa + d + gu + ru = स + द् + गु + रु When you join the letters together: सद्गुरु or सद्गुरु I will teach you how to add "u" to the consonants later. Be patient.
Examples of Conjuncts
The following Conjuncts are only a few examples. I have published a complete document on Conjuncts here .
kkya = क्क्य
kkṇa = क्क्ण
gdha = ग्ध
jjha = ज्झ
ñcha = ञ्छ
tka = त्क
tna = त्न
dhma = ध्म
śvya = श्व्य
ṅka = ङ्क
cca = च्च
pta = प्त
ñca = ञ्च
ñja = ञ्ज
mna = म्न
dga = द्ग
dva = द्व
ṣṭa = ष्ट
ptya = प्त्य
dbhya = द्भ्य
dvya = द्व्य
"pa" is over "ta" and there is no vertical stroke in "pta". As a result, "pt" is left.
(However, if you would use Virāma: dbhya = द्भ्य and dvya = द्व्य, respectively. This is right but not used in Sanskrit generally)
Conjuncts formed from several consonants merged in each other to a certain extent. The consonants are hardly discernible. Let us see some examples:
dda = द्द
dma = द्म
dya = द्य
kṣa = क्ष
jña = ज्ञ
tra = त्र
No examples about the fourth kind of Conjuncts will be given by me here. I will explain it later.

The 1000 most common Sanskrit words [Complete List]
We produced this list of the 1000 most common Sanskrit words through a statistical analysis of a large number of Sanskrit texts.
These texts include passages from the Mahabharata (a long epic narrative from ancient India), several of the Upanishads (ancient Indian religious and philosophical texts), as well as several yogic texts (including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Hatha Yoga Pradipika).
Sanskrit is an inflected language, meaning that word endings often change depending on grammatical cases. We did our best to convert the words from the texts into their dictionary form, before counting their occurrences and sorting them by frequency.
This Sanskrit vocabulary list is sorted by frequency, meaning that the words at the top of the list occur more frequently than those further down the list.
Many yoga-related vocabulary words appear among the thousand most common Sanskrit words. For those interested in that topic, we have an article on Sanskrit words used in Yoga .
Here is the list of the 1000 most common Sanskrit words:
The Sanskrit word “न” (na) has the same origin as the Latin word “ne” and the English word “no”. Sanskrit and Latin belong to the Indo-European language family, and so does English.

In Yogic texts, the Sanskrit word “एक” (eka) often appears in the compound “एकाग्रता” (ekāgratā) which means “one-pointedness” and refers to focused, undivided attention.

Sanskrit language , (from Sanskrit saṃskṛta , “adorned, cultivated , purified”), an Old Indo-Aryan language in which the most ancient documents are the Vedas , composed in what is called Vedic Sanskrit . Although Vedic documents represent the dialects then found in the northern midlands of the Indian subcontinent and areas immediately east thereof, the very earliest texts—including the Rigveda (“The Veda Composed in Verses”), which scholars generally ascribe to approximately 1500 bce —stem from the northwestern part of the subcontinent, the area of the ancient seven rivers ( sapta sindhavaḥ ).
What is generally called Classical Sanskrit —but is actually a language close to late Vedic as then used in the northwest of the subcontinent—was elegantly described in one of the finest grammars ever produced, the Aṣṭādhyāyī (“Eight Chapters”) composed by Pāṇini ( c. 6th–5th century bce ). The Aṣṭādhyāyī in turn was the object of a rich commentatorial literature, documents of which are known from the time of Kātyāyana (4th–3rd century bce ) onward. In the same Pāṇinian tradition there was a long history of work on semantics and the philosophy of language , the pinnacle of which is represented by the Vākyapadīya (“Treatise on Sentence and Word”) of Bhartṛhari (late 6th–7th century ce ).
Over its long history, Sanskrit has been written both in Devanāgarī script and in various regional scripts, such as Śāradā from the north ( Kashmir ), Bāṅglā (Bengali) in the east, Gujarātī in the west, and various southern scripts, including the Grantha alphabet , which was especially devised for Sanskrit texts. Sanskrit texts continue to be published in regional scripts, although in fairly recent times Devanāgarī has become more generally used.
There is a large corpus of literature in Sanskrit covering a wide range of subjects. The earliest compositions are the Vedic texts. There are also major works of drama and poetry , although the exact dates of many of these works and their creators have not been definitively established. Important authors and works include Bhāsa (for example, his Svapnavāsvavadatta [“Vāsavadatta in a Dream”]), who is assigned widely varying dates but definitely worked prior to Kālidāsa, who mentions him; Kālidāsa , dated anywhere from the 1st century bce to the 4th century ce , whose works include Śakuntalā (more fully, Abhijñānaśākuntala ; “Śakuntalā Recalled Through Recognition” or “The Recognition of Śakuntalā”), Vikramorvaśīya (“Urvaśī Won Through Valour”), Kumārasambhava (“The Birth of Kumāra”), and Raghuvaṃśa (“The Lineage of Raghu”); Śūdraka and his Mṛcchakatika (“Little Clay Cart”), possibly dating to the 3rd century ce ; Bhāravi and his Kirātārjunīya (“Arjuna and the Kirāta”), from approximately the 7th century; Māgha , whose Śiśupālavadha (“The Slaying of Śiśupāla”) dates to the late 7th century; and from about the early 8th century Bhavabhūti , who wrote Mahāvīracarita (“Deeds of the Great Hero”), Mālatīmādhava (“Mālatī and Mādhava”), and Uttararāmacarita (“The Last Deed of Rāma”). The two epics Rāmāyaṇa (“Life of Rāma”) and Mahābhārata (“Great Tale of the Bhāratas”) were also composed in Sanskrit, and the former is esteemed as the first poetic work ( ādikāvya ) of India . The Pañcatantra (“Treatise in Five Chapters”) and Hitopadeśa (“Beneficial Instruction”) are major representatives of didactic literature. Sanskrit was also used as the medium for composing treatises of various philosophical schools, as well as works on logic, astronomy, and mathematics.
Sanskrit is not restricted to Hindu compositions. It has also been used by Jaina and Buddhist scholars, the latter primarily Mahāyāna Buddhists. Further, Sanskrit is recognized in the constitution of India as both a classical language and an official language and continues to be used in scholarly, literary, and technical media, as well as in periodicals, radio, television, and film.
In its grammatical structure, Sanskrit is similar to other early Indo-European languages such as Greek and Latin . It is an inflected language. For instance, the Sanskrit nominal system—including nouns, pronouns, and adjectives—has three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and seven syntactic cases (nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, and locative), in addition to a vocative. However, a full set of distinct forms occurs only in the singular of masculine -a- stems of the type deva- ‘god’: nominative devas ( devaḥ before a pause), accusative devam , instrumental devena , dative devāya , ablative devāt , genitive devasya , locative deve , and vocative deva .
Adjectives are inflected to agree with nouns, and there are distinct pronominal forms for certain cases: e.g., tasmai , tasmāt , tasmin (masculine-neuter dative, ablative, and locative singular, respectively) ‘that one.’
Verbs inflect for tense , mode, voice , number, and person. These may be illustrated by third-person active forms of pac ‘cook, bake’ (used if cooking is done for someone other than the agent), including the present indicative pacati ‘cooks, is cooking’; the proximate future pakṣyati ‘will cook,’ referring to an act that will take place at some time in the future, possibly including the day on which one is speaking; the non-proximate future paktā ‘will cook,’ referring to an act that will take place at some time in the future, excluding the day on which one is speaking; the aorist apākṣīt ‘cooked, has cooked,’ referring to an act completed in the general past, possibly including the day on which one speaks; the imperfect past apacat ‘cooked,’ referring to an act in the past, excluding the day on which one speaks; the perfect reportative papāca ‘cooked,’ referring to an act performed in the past, excluding the day of speaking, and which the speaker did not directly witness or is not personally aware; the imperative pacatu ‘should, must cook,’ expressing a command, request, or invitation to perform the act; the optative pacet , used in the same sense as the imperative; the precative pacyāt ‘may cook,’ expressing a wish; and the contrafactual conditional apakṣyat ‘if (he) cooked, if (he) had cooked, if (he) would cook, if (he) would have cooked.’ There are also middle forms (‘cook for oneself’) corresponding to the forms just cited: pacate ‘cooks, is cooking,’ pakṣyate ‘will cook,’ paktā ‘will cook,’ apakta ‘cooked, has cooked,’ apacata ‘cooked,’ pece ‘cooked,’ pacatām ‘should, must cook,’ pakṣīṣṭa ‘may cook,’ apakṣyata ‘if (I) cooked, if (I) had cooked, if (I) would cook, if (I) would have cooked.’ There is also a passive, as with the third singular present indicative pacyate ‘…is being cooked.’ Early Vedic preserves remnants of an earlier aspectual contrast between perfective and imperfective.

Take the word sun:
Our tool funds 405 words that are used to say “sun”.
We then see this word in 103 languages side by side.
Even water has 227 words.
Moon a mere 352:
We made the synonym explorer to illustrate the immense richness of Sanskrit synonyms. It would be sound to say that no other language has so many synonyms. The formation of nouns as qualities of an object rather than an abstract word not related to the object means a word such as sun could have more than 400 words for it. In English we say sun or maybe solar or helio sometimes but Sanskrit has a vast array of words such as abhīṣumat, abjabāndhava, abjahasta, abjinīpati, ādideva, āditeya, ādityā, adri, aga, agira, aharbāndhava, aharmaṇi, aharpati, ahaskara, ahi etc. Our tool allows you to generate synonyms in Sanskrit for an English word and then parallel that word against an array of the same word in 103+ languages of the world. You will often see similarities and sometimes the identical word will be there for example sambandha (relationship in Sanskrit) and sambandið (relationship in Icelandic).

110+ Powerful & Beautiful Sanskrit Words With Meaning
Sanskrit, an ancient and revered language, holds a special place in the cultural and intellectual history of India. Dating back over 3,500 years, it stands as one of the oldest languages in the world, a classical language that has shaped the philosophical, scientific, and spiritual discourse throughout history. Its rich lexicon and grammatical precision make it a language of extraordinary depth and expressiveness.
The importance of Sanskrit extends far beyond its historical roots. In philosophy, it has been the medium for some of the deepest thoughts that have ever been conceived. In science, ancient Sanskrit texts have a surprising degree of sophistication in fields like mathematics, astronomy, and medicine.
Spiritually, Sanskrit is the language of a large corpus of religious and mystical texts, including the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita , which continue to inspire millions around the world.
The purpose of this blog post is to learn about some of the most beautiful and powerful Sanskrit words with meaning. We will go various categories like powerful Sanskrit words, those that capture beauty, words reflecting life’s essence, health, yoga , and those with deep, profound meanings.
Historical Context of Sanskrit
Sanskrit, part of the Indo-European language family, traces its origins to the 2nd millennium BCE, with its earliest form known as Vedic Sanskrit, found in the sacred texts of the Vedas.
This period marked the beginning of its extensive use in religious and philosophical discourse. Over centuries, it evolved into Classical Sanskrit, codified by the grammarian Panini in his work “Ashtadhyayi” around the 5th century BCE. This work is known for its precise and comprehensive rules that shaped the language into its classical form.
Sanskrit’s influence can be observed in various languages across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Languages like Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Nepali, and many others in the Indo-Aryan family have been significantly shaped by Sanskrit vocabulary and grammatical structures.
Beyond the Indian subcontinent, Sanskrit’s impact is evident in many Southeast Asian languages and cultures, especially in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Cambodia.
Sanskrit’s role in the cultural and spiritual heritage of India is unparalleled. It is the language in which most of the Indian philosophical, religious, and literary traditions are rooted. The Vedas, Upanishads, epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and classical dramas and poetry were all composed in Sanskrit.
In spirituality , Sanskrit has always held a sacred status. Its very name, derived from “samskrta,” meaning “refined” or “perfected,” reflects the high regard in which it has been held. The sounds and recitations of Sanskrit are powerful and spiritually uplifting.
Powerful Sanskrit Words
The powerful words in Sanskrit with meaning cover the various aspects of strength, empowerment, and resilience, reflecting their impact on literature, philosophy, and daily life. Below is the list of Sanskrit’s powerful words with meaning and context:

Why Sanskrit is the Language of Yoga?
Sanskrit’s designation as the language of yoga is deeply rooted in history and philosophy. The foundational texts of yoga, including the “ Yoga Sutras ” by Patanjali and various Upanishads, were written in Sanskrit. This ancient language was the medium for documenting and transmitting the early teachings of yoga.
Sanskrit’s grammatical structure allows for conveying complex spiritual and philosophical concepts with great precision. The language’s vocabulary is rich in terms that describe states of consciousness, spiritual practices, and philosophical principles, which are central to yoga.
Also, Sanskrit is described as a ‘vibrational’ language. The way Sanskrit words are pronounced resonates in a way that aligns with the energetic aspects of yoga practice. Chanting Sanskrit mantras is a key part of many yoga traditions, thought to have profound effects on the mind and body.

Sanskrit’s Vibrational Quality and Quantum Physics
The vibrational quality of Sanskrit, particularly its phonetics, finds similarity to the quantum physics theory of vibration.
Quantum physics says that everything in the universe, at its most fundamental level, is in a state of constant vibration, including particles and energy. This concept resonates with the phonetic structure of Sanskrit, where each letter (akshara) has a unique vibrational quality.
This is similar to quantum physics, where different frequencies and vibrations characterize different forms of energy . The practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras in yoga aligns with the idea that repeating a sound frequency can align or influence the vibrational state of the practitioner.
This concept mirrors the quantum physics understanding that vibrations at one frequency can impact vibrations at another.

Application of Sanskrit Words in Modern Times
The words of Sanskrit are rooted in a rich spiritual and philosophical tradition, and continue to influence modern spiritual practices, yoga , meditation , and mindfulness in various ways.
1. Yoga and Physical Wellness
Sanskrit words like “ Asana ” (posture), “Pranayama” (breath control), and “Dhyana” (meditation) have become integral to the global vocabulary of yoga. These terms not only describe physical practices but also embody the deeper philosophical aspects of yoga.
They remind practitioners that yoga is more than just physical exercise; it’s a discipline that integrates body, mind, and spirit.
2. Meditation and Mindfulness
Words such as “Samadhi” (enlightenment) and “Nirvana” (extinction of desire) are central to various forms of meditation and mindfulness practices. These terms have their traditional contexts, providing insights and goals for people seeking mental peace, clarity, and spiritual awakening in today’s fast-paced world.
3. Spirituality
Terms like “Atman” (soul, self), “Brahman” (universal reality), and “Moksha” (liberation) are crucial in the exploration of spiritual identity and the nature of existence. They offer a framework for understanding the self and the universe in many modern spiritual movements.
4. Ethical and Moral Frameworks
Sanskrit words also provide ethical and moral frameworks. “Ahimsa” (non-violence), “Satya” (truthfulness), and “Dharma” (duty, righteousness) are not just philosophical concepts but practical principles that can guide personal behavior and societal norms.

Seek Govinda , seek Govinda — seek Govinda, you fool! For when you've come to your final hour, not even grammar will save you. Bhaja Govindam 1
I can think of no better way to start our study together than with this quote, for at once it captures the importance, the esteem, and the danger of the Sanskrit language. Its importance is plain: Sanskrit was once the most influential literary language in India, and texts written in the language could be understood by millions of people throughout the South Asian world. These texts contain profound meditations on every point on the spectrum of human concern: existence, reality, God, love, duty, marriage, war, sex, death, violence, laughter, beauty, perception, nature, anatomy, urbanity, ritual, desire, food, purpose, meaning, and language, among hundreds of others. Moreover, Sanskrit texts are the repository of non-modern modes of thought, and they present distinct conceptions of the world that are often at odds with the understanding we have today. By learning how people used to think, we better understand both ourselves and the world we have inherited.
Given the immensity and reach of Sanskrit literature, it is no surprise that Sanskrit itself has found admirers. Over thousands of years, the people within the Sanskrit tradition — who learned the language not at home but in rigorous schools — praised the language and continually improved its status. What was once called merely "language" was later called "perfected speech," and even later the "language of the gods." The word "Sanskrit" itself is the most recent in a long line of names, and it is a name that the first Sanskrit speakers never used. The word has been translated in dozens of ways: "perfected," "perfectly made," "put together," or just "assembled." Ultimately, all of these meanings are part of the word "Sanskrit."
Sanskrit was dangerous, then, because anyone who studied it might see it as an end to understanding rather than a means to it. For this reason, the man who was later called by the name "Buddha" refused to let his disciples translate his words into Sanskrit, perhaps because he hoped his disciples would focus on his ideas instead of the language that contained them. But as Sanskrit grew in stature, reach, and utility, this concern was brushed aside. Ironically, some of the most popular Sanskrit texts today — religious and otherwise — were written by Buddhists.
The language that eventually became Sanskrit was once an everyday language used by all people in society. Later on, however, it became almost exclusive to male Brahmins , who rigorously preserved it as a sacred language. But in time, Sanskrit became so much more: a timeless and placeless language that yielded such profundity and exquisite beauty that even today, it lives with its treasures in the cultural conscience of South Asia and places beyond. Still, we must be careful to not oversimplify the dynamism and complexity of Sanskrit's use, development, and reputation. It is a subject that has filled book upon book, and no tidy summary can give a good sense of its complexity and vigor. At the least, you must always remember that Sanskrit was just one part of the complex South Asian world. Sanskrit quickly became the language of the male religious elite, and the voices of all other parts of this world disappeared almost without a trace. But if we want to look to the distant past and learn more about its traditions, Sanskrit is one of the surest guides we have.
By learning this language, you open the door to more than three thousand years of intellectual history, both in India and beyond. This is an ocean that no person can hope to cross; but let's set sail and see where Sanskrit will take us.
The origin of Sanskrit
This part of the introduction discusses modern efforts to determine Sanskrit's origins, including when and where it was first spoken. If you'd rather skip this sort of discussion, click here to skip further down the page.
If it is true that real people once spoke Sanskrit natively, then we must ask: how and when did Sanskrit first appear? We are not sure, and it is impossible to know. However, there are some very good theories. The most popular of them arose when Western scholars started to study Sanskrit. These scholars had a significant advantage that Indian scholars did not: they had studied Greek and Latin , which are both deeply similar to Sanskrit. Take a look at some of the words that all three languages share, and compare them to their English equivalents as well:

The similarities among the three languages were so strong and so undeniable that these scholars made a great conclusion: all three languages were not just similar but related . Inspired by this realization, the English scholar William Jones said this about Sanskrit:
The Sanscrit language, whatever be its antiquity, is of a wonderful structure; more perfect than the Greek, more copious than the Latin, and more exquisitely refined than either, yet bearing to both of them a stronger affinity , both in the roots of verbs and the forms of grammar, than could possibly have been produced by accident; so strong indeed, that no philologer could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source , which, perhaps, no longer exists; … Sir William Jones, in a speech delivered to the Asiatic Society in February 1786 (emphasis added)
This quote is well-known, and for good reason: it marks the beginning of a fantastic period of scholarship into the history and origin of these languages. Scholars of these languages, which are collectively called the "Indo-European languages," wanted to answer one question above all others: where did these languages come from?
A proposed map of the migration of PIE. India is in the lower-right corner. From columbia.edu , originally from uni-duesseldorf.de .
India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only. Mark Twain
At first, it was thought that Sanskrit was the origin of both Greek and Latin. Many people started to think that Sanskrit was the origin of all of the world's languages. Today, we can say that this is probably not the case. Other related languages have features that Sanskrit lacks, and these features explain some of Sanskrit's odd rules as an evolution from an older language.
It quickly became clear that Sanskrit — along with languages like Latin and Greek — likely descended from a single language that was different from all three of them. We don't know what this language might have been called. Today, most people call it Proto-Indo-European , or PIE for short. We also don't know when this language might have existed; but, it was likely used some time before 3000 BC. PIE is hypothetical, and no record of it remains; but over the years, our picture of the language has become clearer, and now we have a fairly good understaning of what it must have been like. Although we can never be sure of this picture, there is a substantial body of evidence to support it.
Scholars have proposed many places of origin for PIE. At first, one of the more popular theories was the Out of India theory. Over time, however, most scholars have concluded that PIE likely came from the Eurasian steppe near modern-day Turkey. Again, we can never be sure that this is where the Indo-European languages came from. Many other places of origin have been proposed, and the evidence available is not always strong. But, the current consensus is that PIE came from the Eurasian steppe.
The Dravidian languages. Note the spots in the northwest and northeast. From these, we can conclude that Dravidian languages were once spoken across all of India.
Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climbs, and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I read it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wherever PIE came from, it started to spread into Europe and Asia, and as it spread, it started to change. The part of the language that spread south toward India and the Middle East is called Proto-Indo-Iranian , and this part split into both the Iranian language family and the Indo-Aryan language family.
We don't know what the original Indo-Aryan language was like when it came into India, but it started to interact with other languages that were already present there. These other languages include the Dravidian languages , the ancestors of Tamil and Kannada. From these other languages, the Indo-Aryan language gained some words and features that are found in no other Indo-European language. Sanskrit is the result of this interaction.
The history of Sanskrit
What is important to bear in mind, however, is that [Sanskrit] never fully became — and almost certainly never had been — a code of everyday usage. It was never the language of the nursery, the bedroom, or the field, although since Sanskrit poets experienced childhood, love, and (no doubt some of them) labor, they learned to speak of these things, too, after their fashion, in Sanskrit. Sheldon Pollock, "Sanskrit Literary Culture From the Inside Out" (emphasis added)
In the strictest sense of the term, Sanskrit refers to a later "preserved" form of the language of the Vedas , a set of ancient compositions among the oldest known in any Indo-European language. The older form of the language, variously called either Vedic Sanskrit or just Vedic , was likely the native language of its users. But from the Vedas onward, the language started to lose many of its features. Then, around the 5th century BC, a grammarian known as Panini (pronounced " paa -ni-nee" in English) essentially "froze" the language, transforming it from the fluid native language of the ancient Indians to an unchanging and timeless language for intellectual expression, both in India and in the whole of South and Southeast Asia. Near this time, the last native speakers of Sanskrit had probably already died.
Panini's work marks the beginning of "normal" Sanskrit, which is sometimes called Classical Sanskrit for clarification. This is the form of Sanskrit that we will study in this guide. Although Panini's work defines Sanskrit grammar, it will not be discussed in this guide. Panini's method is compact, but it is only useful if you have the time to memorize thousands of grammatical rules. Somewhat ironically, it also requires you to know a substantial bit of Sanskrit beforehand.
"What will I learn?"
Right now, you may know nothing about Sanskrit, or you may have no experience with a second language — and that is OK! We will start small, from the most basic of definitions. From there, we will slowly spool our understanding of grammar until we know enough to read simple passages. We will read selections from all parts of Sanskrit literature: epic poetry like the Bhagavad Gita, lyric poetry like the works of Kalidasa, prose works like the Upanishads, hymns from parts of the Vedas, and much more.
This guide is here to help you take this millennia-old "language of the gods" by the horns, so that it might lead you wherever you want to go. Good luck! (Please use the contact page if you have any problems, questions, or comments. All messages are read and are greatly appreciated.)

Ever since Vice President Kamala Harris became a presence on the national scene, her name – a common one for women in India – has attracted a lot of attention, most specifically for its pronunciation .
The three-syllable word should be pronounced “Come-a-laa” (Kamalā), with the final long “a” signaling a feminine noun in Sanskrit. In the United States, it is often enunciated with stresses placed on the first or second syllable.
However, the pronunciation of “Kamala” is the least interesting thing about this lovely name, which is only one of many words in Sanskrit for the radiant, fragrant, large-petaled pink lotus, or Nelumbo nucifera , that is ubiquitous in the Indian subcontinent. As a scholar of South Indian religions , I’d like to explain the deep symbolism and the many meanings of the kamala, or lotus, which are shared by different faith traditions in the subcontinent.
The ‘kamala’ in Indian literature
In many Indian love poems, the wide, shapely eyes of beautiful women are compared to the lotus , while in devotional poetry it is the God’s eyes that invite the comparison .
The simile is not confined just to the eyes but can be used to praise the beauty, softness and radiance of a lover’s or the divine’s face, feet or hands. The ninth-century Tamil poet, Nammalvar , in his magnum opus, the “Tiruvaymoli,” uses the simile to describe the beauty of the god Vishnu:
You are faultless light You are unsullied wisdom that neither blooms nor withers. You are everything. You rule it all. If the king of the beautiful gods worships you, won’t it dim the radiance of your lotus feet?
In some cases, love, whether mystical or human, is described as a lotus that blooms in the day, responding to the warmth and brightness of the sun. At night, the lotus closes its petals, much as one might withdraw in the absence of the beloved. Equally, the lotus can be evocative of desire and intimacy, drawing a bee to drink from its nectar.
The lotus, both as whole flower or even a single curved petal, is a pervasive motif in Indian art. A famous 18th-century Indian miniature painting depicts the divine couple, Radha and Krishna , facing each other, clothed entirely in lotuses.
The lotus’s divine symbolism
Most significantly, the kamala, or lotus, is closely associated with Sri-Lakshmi: the goddess of sovereignty, auspiciousness, fecundity, wealth and good fortune, who is worshiped by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. In fact, Kamala is simply another name for Sri-Lakshmi. This goddess either sits or stands on a fully bloomed lotus and holds them in her hands as well.
In Hindu temples in Southern India, she will often be adorned in a garland of lotuses, so complete is her association with this flower. Lakshmi’s divine husband, Vishnu, is also closely connected to this flower. A lotus emerges from his navel to birth the god Brahma, who in turn births the whole universe.
Although Sri-Lakshmi’s association with the lotus is most obvious, the religious traditions of Jainism and Buddhism also integrate the bloom. Buddhist and Jain divine figures may hold the lotus in their hand, like the Buddhist goddess Tara or the male Buddhist deity Avalokiteshvara. The sixth great teacher of the Jain tradition, Padmaprabhu, is named after a lotus, with “padma” being another name for the flower. Sometimes the lotus serves as a pedestal for the divine being in the Jain, Buddhist and Hindu traditions.
In all cases, the lotus is rarely a bud and almost always a lush, open bloom. This gestures to its deep meaning as a symbol of wisdom, of one’s awakening into knowledge from the torpor of ignorance. The kamala’s symbolic meaning is rooted in the fact that the lotus blooms in swampy waters but remains untouched by the dirt around it. Similarly, enlightenment and wisdom arise and blossom from the murk of desire and attachment. But when one attains wisdom, like the lotus, one remains above and untouched by the dirt of deluding ignorance.
That is why the kamala is always pictured and described not as a bud, suggesting only potential for wisdom, but as a large, open, unfurled flower.
Kamala Harris’ name is a reminder of its significance in these religious traditions. One could argue that a lotus by another name is still a lotus, but as these traditions show, it is also so much more.

Oakland a’s dfa relief pitcher.
August 13, 2024

The Oakland Athletics have designated relief pitcher Kyle Muller for assignment. He was acquired in 2022 in a trade with the Atlanta Braves, which involved sending Sean Murphy to the Braves and William Contreas to the Milwaukee Brewers. Muller was one of five players acquired in the trade.

Athletics Relief Pitcher Designated for Assignment
Muller’s inconsistencies.
When the A’s acquired Muller, he was recognized as a top prospect by the Braves. Muller used to be a starter and showed solid promise following pitching deep into games. Muller also earned himself the Gatorade Player of the Year award in 2015. Due to this, the A’s had faith in Muller, but unfortunately, in 2022, he recorded an ERA of 8.03. The 2023 season wasn’t revamped, with a 1-5 record and an ERA of 7.60. This season, his ERA has dropped to 4.22. Following his unsuccessful 2022 season, he was sent down to the minors. But being in Triple-A didn’t allow him to prosper. He sported a 7.26 ERA across 13 starts. The A’s continued to keep him in the reliever role in the majors as they had their hands tied.
He’s successfully improved his ERA this season, even with going on the IL with left shoulder tendinitis on May 30th. In addition, he had a promising walk rate of 5.1 %. But aside from this, he’s had his struggles with giving up home runs. As well, he needed much work to improve his velocity. The reason behind Muller’s designation, aside from his struggles, is also due to his out-of-options dilemma with his contract. But what had also attracted the A’s to Muller was that he has experience as a lefty. Overall, keeping him long-term was not something that the A’s could afford to do—especially considering that he hasn’t improved enough for them to consider him a strong enough piece in the bullpen. With Muller being DFA’d, starting pitcher Joe Boyle has been recalled, and Ross Stripling has taken over in the pen.

The Conversation: What is the Meaning of Kamala?
Kamala, a common name in india, is associated with several deities and symbol of wisdom.
by Archana Venkatesan, UC Davis professor of Religious Studies and Comparative Literature
August 14, 2024
Quick Summary
Kamala Harris’ name is a reminder of its significance in these religious traditions.
Ever since Vice President Kamala Harris became a presence on the national scene, her name — a common one for women in India — has attracted a lot of attention, most specifically for its pronunciation .
The three-syllable word should be pronounced “Come-a-laa” (Kamalā), with the final long “a” signaling a feminine noun in Sanskrit. In the United States, it is often enunciated with stresses placed on the first or second syllable.
However, the pronunciation of “Kamala” is the least interesting thing about this lovely name, which is only one of many words in Sanskrit for the radiant, fragrant, large-petaled pink lotus, or Nelumbo nucifera , that is ubiquitous in the Indian subcontinent. As a scholar of South Indian religions , I’d like to explain the deep symbolism and the many meanings of the kamala, or lotus, which are shared by different faith traditions in the subcontinent.
The ‘kamala’ in Indian literature
In many Indian love poems, the wide, shapely eyes of beautiful women are compared to the lotus , while in devotional poetry it is the God’s eyes that invite the comparison .
The simile is not confined just to the eyes but can be used to praise the beauty, softness and radiance of a lover’s or the divine’s face, feet or hands. The ninth-century Tamil poet, Nammalvar , in his magnum opus, the “Tiruvaymoli,” uses the simile to describe the beauty of the god Vishnu:
You are faultless light You are unsullied wisdom that neither blooms nor withers. You are everything. You rule it all. If the king of the beautiful gods worships you, won’t it dim the radiance of your lotus feet?
In some cases, love, whether mystical or human, is described as a lotus that blooms in the day, responding to the warmth and brightness of the sun.
