The best way to master Sanskåt pronunciation is to practice only 1 aspect at a time. Here ALL syllables are SPLIT and LOOONG ones marked
Simplified Romanized Sanskåt For Perfect Sanskåt Pronunciation by Déna-Anukampana Das:

• Syllables are split & Long Vowels are highlighted in this document, for your practice. The
difference between long and short vowels is is the main point to focus on for getting your
Sanskåt pronunciation up to the 70% accuracy mark. Mixing up the short and long vowels in any
language (not just in Sanskåt) makes the word distorted beyond recognition. Some English
examples: Fit & Feet/Feat, Sit & Seat, Whip & Weep, Din & Dean, Sin & Seen, Butter & Barter.
• Let us call the long vowels ‘Looong’ and the short vowels ‘Shot’–this reflects the difference
between the two, namely timing. In Sanskåt, a ‘shot’ vowel (say ‘shot’ like gun shot, short &
sharp!) is 1 unit of time while a looong one is 2 units of time.
• As a beginner we recommend that you exaggerate this–make the looong ones, very looong (say
3 or 4 units of time), and make the ‘shot’ ones, very short (say half or quarter of a unit of time).
They will still sound correct and acceptable even in this way. After a few weeks of practice, you
will be able to hear the sounds more accurately, then you can begin fine-tuning.
• A common example: rAA·jan is a well-known sanskåt/indian name. If we change about the short
and long vowels, we murder the name. It becomes rajAAn! Let’s analyze the second syllable in
both cases. When the ‘jan’ was ‘shot’, it acted as a bridge and pulled the ‘j’ and the ‘n’ together
so that the ‘j’ sound actually ‘touches’ the ‘n’ sound–you can experience this by saying ‘jan’
repeatedly, and make the ‘a’ shorter and shorter till it nearly disappears. However when the
‘jAAn’ was looong, the ‘n’ sound only begins after the AA sound is fully completed, as if it is an
after-thought, and there is no ‘touching’ at all between the ‘j’ and the ‘n’. Similarly, when we
analys the ‘rAA’ and ‘ra’ syllables–in the first case (which is the correct pronunciation), we say
‘rAAAA…’ and we can drag it a lot, and then only the ‘j’ kicks in as one group, ‘jan’. If we
pronounce it wrongly, we get ‘r’ joining with ‘j’, so a ‘raj’ sound forms first. Try experimenting
with the sample words in the first paragraph above. You can visualize the correct sounds in this
way: rä/jan; fee/t; sea/t, wee/p, dea/n, see/n, lea/ve. Short vowels pull both neighbours
together. Long vowels join only the consonants before them, not after.

10:8
I am the source of all
spiritual and material worlds.
Everything emanates from Me.
The wise who perfectly know this
engage in My devotional service
and worship Me with all their hearts.
10:9
The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me,
their lives are fully devoted to My service,
and they derive great satisfaction and bliss
from always enlightening one another
and conversing about Me.
10:10
To those who are constantly devoted
to serving Me with love,
I give the understanding
by which they can come to Me.
10:11
To show them special mercy,
I, dwelling in their hearts,
destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge
the darkness born of ignorance.

The best way to master Sanskåt pronunciation is to practice only one aspect at a time. Here ALL LONG Vowels: ä, é, ü, e, ai, o, au & è

• Only Long Vowels are highlighted in this document, for your practice. Thd difference
between long and short vowels is is the main point to focus on for getting your Sanskåt
pronunciation up to the 70% accuracy mark. Mixing up the short and long vowels in any
language (not just in Sanskåt) makes the word distorted beyond recognition. Some English
examples: Fit & Feet/Feat, Sit & Seat, Whip & Weep, Din & Dean, Sin & Seen, Live & Leave.

The best way to master Sanskåt
Sanskåt pronunciation is to practice
practice only 1 aspect at a time. Hilighted here
here CEREBRAL Consonants: Ö, ÖH, Ò, ÒH & Ë
• Only Long syllables and CEREBRAL (HARD) CONSONANTS are highlighted in this document.
• Don’t mix them up with CEREBRAL CONSONANTS, or your Sanskåt pronunciation will sound
un-refined.
• As a physical check, make sure you keep pressing the tip of your tongue pointing upwards and
firmly contacting the cerebra or ridge of our mouth. How to identify/locate that spot? First
put the tip of your tongue behind your front teeth and apply a little pressure. Then slide it
upwards slowly towards the roof of your mouth. The first thing you encounter is the smooth,
firm, SLOPING gums. When you reach the end of your gums, you will find a slightly bumpy line
– that’s the ridge. That’s the correct spot for all Cerebral consonants (Remember they all have
a DOT under them – where does your tongue go when you say Dot, or the English name Todd
or Terry? Push it a little further back from that spot so that it is on the ridge itself. (If you go
too far, you’ll find a sudden dip as your tongue reaches the smooth and steeper curve of your
palate, which is very ticklish!)
So now that you have identified physically the correct spot, say, “dot, dot, dot…” ten times till you
develop a sense of feeling at that spot. Now do the below exercise, recite the stotra while paying
attention only to your tongue position for Cerebral consonants. Don’t worry about rhythm, and don’t
think about all the other sounds. Just practice one thing at a time. Later on, all the different skills
will come together automatically and without extraneous effort. Slow and steady!

CONSONANTS “T, TH, D, DH & N” are highlighted
highlighted in this
this
document. Don’t mix them up with CEREBRAL CONSONANTS, or your Sanskåt pronunciation will
sound un-
un-refined. As a physical check, make sure you keep pressing the tip of your tongue against
the cutting edge of your front teeth for every cerebral consonant – we have a lazy tendency to keep
it somewhere behind the teeth, or worse still, on the gums (the lazy lazy--man’s position). You can even
lightly bite the tip of your tongue between your upper and lower teeth, and this constant physical
contact as you go through this particular exercise will help you to become conscious of the movement
of your tongue as you read (something which we usually do unconsciously or automatically – it is
precisely this automatic tendency
tendency of ours that prevents us from taking full control of our speech and
hence pronouncing Sanskåt perfectly.) Be patient – the method works very well…. After 2- 2-3 weeks of
trying, you’ll begin to feel a natural control over your tongue developing along with a coordination
between the letters you read. And if you keep going, after about 3 months, your ears will develop
the ability to distinctly hear the difference between the right and the wrongly pronounced sounds.
At that time, your experience will be like
like this: “I used to have a ‘black-
‘black-and-
and-white’ “TV” in my ear – I
could only distinguish a few sonds clearly; but now it is as if I have a ‘colour ‘ “TV” in my ear! I can
hardly believe that a few months ago I could not hear the differences between these sounds!”sounds!”

The best way to master Sanskåt pronunciation is to practice only one aspect at a time. Here it’s only the aspirated consonants: kha, gha etc.
(Only Long syllables and ASPIRATED CONSONANTS are highlighted in this document: Place the back of one
hand in front of your mouth to feel the air coming out. Place your other hand flat on the top of your belly with
your finger tips in the solar plexus [the depression at the base of your chest] Say “a” – there shd be no air
coming out of your mouth [i.e. no aspiration]. Now say “ha” – feel the hot air coming out. To make ‘aspirated’
sounds, your belly [diaphragm muscle] must move!). Now say “a” [pause] “ha” three times. Then say “ka”
[pause] “kha”. If you can’t get the air to come out, and are saying “kah” instead of “kha”, then simplify it: Say
“a” [pause] “a-ha” three times. Then say “ka” [pause] “ka-ha”. Keep speeding up and eventually the two
sounds of “ka-ha” will become one sound “kha” and you would have perfected your pronunciation of Aspirated
Consonants.
