200+ Free Scanned Sanskrit Ebooks from Archaeological Survey of India

Sanskrit is the language of the Vedas. It means complete, perfect and definitive. It’s also a beautiful, powerful, resonating language, with a structure and richness not found within most modern languages. All scientific, philosophical, historical works were written in Sanskrit, and important texts existing in other languages were translated and adapted into Sanskrit. The logic and beauty within Sanskrit reflects the two levels – the outer knowledge passed on from teachers and books, and the inner knowledge or intuition gained through experience.
