A fascinating reference book - By: , 12 Dec 2003
With our first child on its way, we wanted to look at baby name books. So many on the market are simply full of lists with very little thought of meaning. However, this book thouroughly explains the history & meaning behind over 2000 Sanskrit names. It is writtenin such a way that a Westerner will understand & be able to pronounciate the Sanskrit language. This book proved even more fascinating than simply a baby name choosing exercise. It is a whole reference to the history of Sanskrit & an extremely enjoyable read. Sanskrit is an understated language that wein the West have little knowledge on. This book has opened a whole new chapterin the learning of this beautiful ancient language.
