Harināmāmṛta-vyākaraṇam

Part 3 – Ākhyāta

Satyanarayana Dasa Babaji teaches Śrī Harināmāmṛta-vyākaraṇam, the Sandskrit grammar for vaiṣṇavas composed by Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī. This course includes the third part of this grammar: ākhyāta (verb formations). This course teaches to parse and create all forms of all verbs in Sanskrit. This grammar is special because all technical terms are names of Kṛṣna. Thus, repeating the sūtras means repeating Kṛṣna's names. Almost every sūtra has a corresponding sūtra in Pāṇinī's system and vice versa. However, to further ease our studies, Śrī Jīva arranged the sūtras according to topics and included also necessary rules which the commentators on Pāṇinī's system supplied.

Satyanarayana Dasa Babaji

Satyanarayana Dasa, born in 1954, was drawn to the spiritual traditions of his home country India since his childhood. After receiving a postgraduate degree in 1978 from IIT Delhi and working in the United States for four years, he returned to India. There he studied the formal systems of Indian philosophy known as Ṣaḍ-darśana under the direct guidance of his guru Śrī Haridāsa Śāstrī Mahārāja and Swami Śyāma Śaraṇa Mahārāja.

This education was taken up in the traditional manner for more than 25 years, while he dedicated himself as a practitioner of bhakti yoga. In 1991 he accepted the traditional Vaiṣṇava order of renounced life, bābājī-veṣa. His main focus has been with the works of Jīva Gosvāmī, particularly on translating the Ṣaṭ Sandarbhas, into English and commenting on them. He also earned four śāstric degrees, and received both a law degree and a PhD in Sanskrit from Agra University.

Satyanarayana Dasa is the director of the Jiva Institute of Vaishnava Studies in Vrindavan, India. He is a visiting professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. In 2013 he was honored by the president of India, Pranab Mukherjee, for his extraordinary contribution in presenting Vedic culture and philosophy, both nationally and internationally.
