"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

“In over forty years of teaching never have I seen a textbook so well constructed, with formatting that makes learning the rudiments of Sanskrit really a pleasure because everything is made clear. Examples are striking and memorable, with many crossovers into grammar in English. . . . This book can simultaneously launch a scholar on the best track for advanced work in Sanskrit and, for the non-professional, open up classic yoga texts such as the Yogasūtra and the Bhagavadgītā. . . . The Glossary is filled with the most important words, and, let me stress, grammatical matters are made, amazing to say, entertaining as well as easy to comprehend.—Stephen Phillips, Emeritus, The University of Texas at Austin
