Sanskrit resources

I have started a blog where I write the meaning of a shloka from Bhagavad Gita, once a week. It has english and hindi meaning and sandhi vigraha. It has audio in my voice as well.

This is recording of a stuti called "Satya Sanatan Sundar Shyam" which documents life events of Lord Krishna in sequence.
You can listen to the audio and read the lyrics

This is a quiz on noun forms (vibhaktis), using multiple choices.

For the noun forms, I find this website very useful reference. I have used this site to populate the questions for my quiz.

For verb forms, this site is the best. You have to click on each of the roots and get the forms

Another wonderful resource is the repository of online books by NCERT in India. They have all the subject books for all grades in Indian schools.

Sanskrit Primer app by sparsh apps is very handy. I have not tried the bhagavadgita app yet.

All of this has been possible because of Sanskrit Bharati and my teachers here in Columbus Nagasampathji and Chandrasekharji and Jyotsna Bhagini in Pittsburgh. I am eternally grateful to them and specially now because it is Gruru Purnima tomorrow, So please spread the word about them.
