Review(s)

These Coursebooks are well-graded and supported by appropriate illustrations that make them very attractive to learners, particularly the young. Today many Indian and foreign schools/ Colleges offer Sanskrit as an optional subject. For such students, these books are a very effective means of introducing Sanskrit, which they might not have studied previously. These books could also be useful for those involved in performing arts, such as dance and music, or for students of Yoga and Ayurveda subjects which have many Sanskrit references. - Prof. Satyavrat Shastri in his 'Foreword'

It is a privilege for me to be invited to introduce this set of textbooks. ... Only a few students are likely to have the opportunity to go on to study Sanskrit in depth so that they can enjoy reading Sanskrit by themselves. ... And the few who go further will be grateful that these books have launched them on an unforgettable experience. - Prof. Richard Gombrich in his 'Preface'

Sanskrit Literally means 'well formed' or 'refined'. It is a classical language for excellence predating Latin and Greek, and it (these coursebooks) reveals to children the fundamental principles of language. - Warwick Jessup, Head of the Sanskrit Deptt. St. James School,

The textbooks are reader-friendly and enhance the user's creative skills by providing the opportunity to draw and present along with stories. - The Speaking Tree, Feb. 26, 2012

I'm simply overwhelmed with joy just looking at these seven coursebooks. ... Even after following a traditional twelve-year grammar course, the curiosity of Sanskrit lovers is not satiated. ... For such people this Bhagirath (great) attempt is certainly praiseworthy. - Prof. Dayananda Bhargava, March 26th, 2012.
