Bhasabodhini: A Sanskrit Reader (volume - Iii) - Softcover

This is the third and final book of compilation of the teaching materials provided for the Sanskrit course offered by the CAE in Melbourne. Although the primary focus was on learning the language, it was assumed that focusing on selected representative literary fragments and becoming acquainted with the relevant background information would be both interesting and valuable to mature students. The intention was to give a brief overview of some Indian religious and philosophical concepts including the idea of discipline. While the second book explored the meaning of devotion and the devotional path, mainly with reference to Visnu and Krsna, that in the present volume this devotional theme is continued through the study of selected texts relating to the mother Goddess and Lord Siva.
