Shiksha Bodha

Shiksha or the science of pronunciation is one of the usually neglected branches of Sanskrit language studies. Grammar and conversational practice often take precedence over the study of Shiksha. Being a pure phonetic language, Sanskrit demands accurate pronunciation of the letters. Shiksha is a science with well-defined rules and no ambiguity. Ignoring it leads to inconsistent usage, confusion and incorrect meanings of the words. Even those good at pronunciation can benefit with the enriched knowledge of Shikhsa. This book is an effort to bring this important topic into light for all those interested in the Sanskrit language.
