Bodhasâra is a good text for University Sanskrit classes. Living up to its name it contains the essence of knowledge of the whole – knowledge of advaita, yoga, Hindu practices and much more - in fine poetic Sanskrit using striking metaphors and witty humour. This publication contains Sanskrit, in Devanagiri and transliterated fonts, on left hand pages, and English on right hand pages. Special care was taken to create fine English expression that remains faithful to the original Sanskrit. Divakara’s commentary was read and absorbed into the translation.
This publication of Bodhasâra has been launched and well-received in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) and India – at Pune University and Rishikesh. The translation was praised by Sanskrit scholars in Pune and Rishikesh.
Warm wishes,
Jennifer
