"Remember, that the Bhagavad Gītā, the Bible, the Koran, and the Granth Sahib and other holy scriptures are not intended for "Paarayana" - mere recitation. They are meant for Aacharana - practice. It is not a sign of bhakti - devotion, if one memorises all the 700 verses of the Gītā or gives learned commentaries thereon. It is only a proof of ostentation. Today what the world needs are men of action - Aachara Maanavas, and not men of words in human form - Aakara Manaavas."
Bhagavān Sathya Sai Baba

Direction to the writing, transliteration and pronunciation of Sanskrit for these pages:

Where originally a - was used above the a, u en i-letters is now written ā (a^). Behind the t and an s with a dot below is placed an h. The s with a ´ above gets an ' besides it.

Pronunciation:

Vowel: a as in but; ā as in far but held twice as long as a; e as in they; i as in pin; ī as in pique but held twice as long as i; o as in go; u as in push; ū as in rule but held twice as long as u.

Consonants: c as tsj; j as dj; y as in yell, consonants followed by an h are to be aspirated (breathed with: b-h, d-h, k-h, p-h); consonants as th en d are pronounced with the tip of the tongue against the palate; ś as in the german word sprechen and sh as in shine; ah with a final h (originally with a dot below) consonant as in aha and with ih like ihi.

Accent: no strong accentuation of syllables or pausing between words in a line, only a flowing of short and long syllables. Long are: ā, e, ī, o, ū, ai, au; or when followed by two or more consonants (thus is Krishna pronounced as Krisjna).
