"Surprisingly, Classical Sanskrit for Everyone is indeed for everyone. Playing tour guide to the ''curious,'' the ''Yoga aficionado,'' and the ''scholar'' on an efficient itinerary through Sanskrit grammar and its philosophical cultures, Keating’s book is refreshingly accessible and useful. Replete with an excellent analysis of important features of Sanskrit with analogies to English usage and learned ''pandit points,'' it also provides supplemental discussions of Sanskrit poetry and philosophy and up-to-date online resources. Pop culture references and a playfully funny tone, at turns, disarm the uninitiated reader and give the scholar a fresh perspective on how to teach this language to a new generation of eager learners." —Deven M. Patel, University of Pennsylvania
