Editorial Reviews: This long-awaited dictionary provides an extensive list of ancient, beautiful Sanskrit names, along with their significance and spiritual meanings. Numerous references to the classical scriptures of India are included to help in research and further study of a name. The spiritual qualities associated with each name, such as particular aspects of God, character traits, and spiritual virtues are highlighted with cross-references to other names having the same quality. The Dictionary of Sanskrit Names is very helpful in naming babies, understanding spiritual names, and as a resource book on Hindu mythology for scholars and researchers. "Sanskrit is the great spiritual language of the world." -Joseph Campbell
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Dictionary is what it is Comment: Well, when I bought this book, I though it would help me find a name. But the name listings are not as many as I thought would be. What this book is...is a dictionary. If you know what the meaning of a name is, then use this book as a reference. I did not find it real helpful to find a baby name. Customer Rating: Summary: Complete waste of money. Comment: 1. Devanagiri spellings of names are not available. 2. There are not many names. Readers will benefit more if they use 'the Oxford Hindi English Dictionary' by R.S. McGregor or similar dictionaries and look for names with Sanskrit origin. Customer Rating: Summary: Poorly researched collection Comment: It has many erroneous entries. Many names listed here are not of Sanskrit origin. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Reference Comment: This book is a good collection of Sanskrit names and their meanings from various contexts and commentaries. I don't think this is a complete collection of all the remarkable names that exist in this great language. Many of the missing names(?) that can't be found in this book are from Yoga itself. This is a good reference book and the authors did good job in compiling the names. I was disappointed to find that a book from Yoga Institute does not have complete resource of the names of Yoga itself in this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic resource for modern and historical names Comment: This book is well designed and well organized, offering a unique service. With its pronunciation guide, serves as a great introduction to Sanskrit, as well as mythology. Highly recommended! More Reviews
