Reimagine English, Embrace Sanskrit: Sanskrit Non-Translatables by Rajiv Malhotra and Satyanarayana Dasa

Sanskrit Non-Translatables by Rajiv Malhotra and Satyanarayana Dasa is a groundbreaking exploration of the power and precision of the Sanskrit language.  This hardcover book challenges the notion that Sanskrit concepts can be fully captured by English translations and proposes a bold new approach: Sanskritization of the English language.

More Than a Dictionary:

Sanskrit Non-Translatables goes beyond a simple list of Sanskrit words.  It delves into the inherent limitations of English in expressing the profound nuances of Sanskrit.  The book argues that by directly incorporating these rich, untranslated terms into English discourse, we can:

Preserve the essence of Sanskrit thought: Avoid the loss of meaning and cultural context that occurs through translation.

Enrich the English language: Expand the expressive power of English by introducing words with unique semantic value.

Reclaim India's intellectual heritage: Empower English speakers to engage with Sanskrit concepts on their own terms.

A Roadmap for Linguistic Revolution:
