Leza Lowitz & Reema Datta 
Sacred Sanskrit Words [PDF ebook] 
For Yoga, Chant, and Meditation

A simple guide to over 160 key spiritual concepts behind yoga and other branches of Eastern wisdom.

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.
