Basic sentences

Sentences are meaningful expressions created from one or more words. Just as individual sounds combine to express a meaningful word, multiple words combine to create a meaningful sentence.

The lessons in this topic will focus on how words interact with each other within a sentence.

Expanding a basic sentence

The most basic Sanskrit sentence is a single verb:

गच्छति। gacchati. (Someone) goes.

As we learned during the core lessons, verb can express four kinds of information: person , number , tense-mood , and prayoga .

We can add other words to this basic sentence to extend or modify its basic meaning. For example, we can express who is performing the act of “going” by adding a nominal word:

रामो गच्छति। rāmo gacchati. Rama goes.

We can also specify the destination of the action:

रामो वनं गच्छति। rāmo vanaṃ gacchati. Rama goes to the forest .

Or various other kinds of information:

रामो सीतया सह वनम् अयोध्याया गच्छति। rāmo sītayā saha vanam ayodhyāyā gacchati. Rama goes with Sita to the forest from Ayodhya .

As we add more and more nominal words, we add more and more detail to our original verb.

Verbless sentences

If we use a verb like asti (“is”), we can express that one thing is another:

रामो राजपुत्रो ऽस्ति । rāmo rājaputro 'sti . Rama is a prince.

रामो बलवान् अस्ति । rāmo balavān asti . Rama is strong.

But we can also remove the verb asti entirely. Why can we do so? If no verb is provided, the verb asti is assumed by default. So we can also rephrase the two examples above to avoid the word asti :

रामो राजपुत्रः। rāmo rājaputraḥ. Rama (is) a prince.

रामो बलवान्। rāmo balavān. Rama is strong.

Sentences without a verb are sometimes called verbless or nominal sentences.

Sanskrit language , (from Sanskrit saṃskṛta , “adorned, cultivated , purified”), an Old Indo-Aryan language in which the most ancient documents are the Vedas , composed in what is called Vedic Sanskrit . Although Vedic documents represent the dialects then found in the northern midlands of the Indian subcontinent and areas immediately east thereof, the very earliest texts—including the Rigveda (“The Veda Composed in Verses”), which scholars generally ascribe to approximately 1500 bce —stem from the northwestern part of the subcontinent, the area of the ancient seven rivers ( sapta sindhavaḥ ).

What is generally called Classical Sanskrit —but is actually a language close to late Vedic as then used in the northwest of the subcontinent—was elegantly described in one of the finest grammars ever produced, the Aṣṭādhyāyī (“Eight Chapters”) composed by Pāṇini ( c. 6th–5th century bce ). The Aṣṭādhyāyī in turn was the object of a rich commentatorial literature, documents of which are known from the time of Kātyāyana (4th–3rd century bce ) onward. In the same Pāṇinian tradition there was a long history of work on semantics and the philosophy of language , the pinnacle of which is represented by the Vākyapadīya (“Treatise on Sentence and Word”) of Bhartṛhari (late 6th–7th century ce ).

Over its long history, Sanskrit has been written both in Devanāgarī script and in various regional scripts, such as Śāradā from the north ( Kashmir ), Bāṅglā (Bengali) in the east, Gujarātī in the west, and various southern scripts, including the Grantha alphabet , which was especially devised for Sanskrit texts. Sanskrit texts continue to be published in regional scripts, although in fairly recent times Devanāgarī has become more generally used.

There is a large corpus of literature in Sanskrit covering a wide range of subjects. The earliest compositions are the Vedic texts. There are also major works of drama and poetry , although the exact dates of many of these works and their creators have not been definitively established. Important authors and works include Bhāsa (for example, his Svapnavāsvavadatta [“Vāsavadatta in a Dream”]), who is assigned widely varying dates but definitely worked prior to Kālidāsa, who mentions him; Kālidāsa , dated anywhere from the 1st century bce to the 4th century ce , whose works include Śakuntalā (more fully, Abhijñānaśākuntala ; “Śakuntalā Recalled Through Recognition” or “The Recognition of Śakuntalā”), Vikramorvaśīya (“Urvaśī Won Through Valour”), Kumārasambhava (“The Birth of Kumāra”), and Raghuvaṃśa (“The Lineage of Raghu”); Śūdraka and his Mṛcchakatika (“Little Clay Cart”), possibly dating to the 3rd century ce ; Bhāravi and his Kirātārjunīya (“Arjuna and the Kirāta”), from approximately the 7th century; Māgha , whose Śiśupālavadha (“The Slaying of Śiśupāla”) dates to the late 7th century; and from about the early 8th century Bhavabhūti , who wrote Mahāvīracarita (“Deeds of the Great Hero”), Mālatīmādhava (“Mālatī and Mādhava”), and Uttararāmacarita (“The Last Deed of Rāma”). The two epics Rāmāyaṇa (“Life of Rāma”) and Mahābhārata (“Great Tale of the Bhāratas”) were also composed in Sanskrit, and the former is esteemed as the first poetic work ( ādikāvya ) of India . The Pañcatantra (“Treatise in Five Chapters”) and Hitopadeśa (“Beneficial Instruction”) are major representatives of didactic literature. Sanskrit was also used as the medium for composing treatises of various philosophical schools, as well as works on logic, astronomy, and mathematics.

Sanskrit is not restricted to Hindu compositions. It has also been used by Jaina and Buddhist scholars, the latter primarily Mahāyāna Buddhists. Further, Sanskrit is recognized in the constitution of India as both a classical language and an official language and continues to be used in scholarly, literary, and technical media, as well as in periodicals, radio, television, and film.

In its grammatical structure, Sanskrit is similar to other early Indo-European languages such as Greek and Latin . It is an inflected language. For instance, the Sanskrit nominal system—including nouns, pronouns, and adjectives—has three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), and seven syntactic cases (nominative, accusative, instrumental, dative, ablative, genitive, and locative), in addition to a vocative. However, a full set of distinct forms occurs only in the singular of masculine -a- stems of the type deva- ‘god’: nominative devas ( devaḥ before a pause), accusative devam , instrumental devena , dative devāya , ablative devāt , genitive devasya , locative deve , and vocative deva .

Adjectives are inflected to agree with nouns, and there are distinct pronominal forms for certain cases: e.g., tasmai , tasmāt , tasmin (masculine-neuter dative, ablative, and locative singular, respectively) ‘that one.’

Verbs inflect for tense , mode, voice , number, and person. These may be illustrated by third-person active forms of pac ‘cook, bake’ (used if cooking is done for someone other than the agent), including the present indicative pacati ‘cooks, is cooking’; the proximate future pakṣyati ‘will cook,’ referring to an act that will take place at some time in the future, possibly including the day on which one is speaking; the non-proximate future paktā ‘will cook,’ referring to an act that will take place at some time in the future, excluding the day on which one is speaking; the aorist apākṣīt ‘cooked, has cooked,’ referring to an act completed in the general past, possibly including the day on which one speaks; the imperfect past apacat ‘cooked,’ referring to an act in the past, excluding the day on which one speaks; the perfect reportative papāca ‘cooked,’ referring to an act performed in the past, excluding the day of speaking, and which the speaker did not directly witness or is not personally aware; the imperative pacatu ‘should, must cook,’ expressing a command, request, or invitation to perform the act; the optative pacet , used in the same sense as the imperative; the precative pacyāt ‘may cook,’ expressing a wish; and the contrafactual conditional apakṣyat ‘if (he) cooked, if (he) had cooked, if (he) would cook, if (he) would have cooked.’ There are also middle forms (‘cook for oneself’) corresponding to the forms just cited: pacate ‘cooks, is cooking,’ pakṣyate ‘will cook,’ paktā ‘will cook,’ apakta ‘cooked, has cooked,’ apacata ‘cooked,’ pece ‘cooked,’ pacatām ‘should, must cook,’ pakṣīṣṭa ‘may cook,’ apakṣyata ‘if (I) cooked, if (I) had cooked, if (I) would cook, if (I) would have cooked.’ There is also a passive, as with the third singular present indicative pacyate ‘…is being cooked.’ Early Vedic preserves remnants of an earlier aspectual contrast between perfective and imperfective.

Kasaragod's Quran teacher names the next Skoda SUV Kylaq, meaning crystal in Sanskrit

Kasaragod: The first owner of Skoda's next SUV to be launched in 2025 will be Mohammed Ziyad, a 24-year-old Quran teacher in Kasaragod, for he named the sub-four-metre car. In an Instagram post, Skoda India announced the winner's name.

"Congratulations to Mr. Mohammed Ziyad from Kerala for winning the all-new #SkodaKylaq. He will be the first owner when it is launched next year," said the post. Around 2 lakh people took part in the contest to name the car. In another video, Skoda India said Kylaq is a Sanskrit word that means 'crystal' and is inspired by the word peak.

Ziyad, an English graduate from the University of Calicut, has been teaching the Quran at Najath Quran Academy in Kasaragod for the past two years and a half. "I don't have a car craze. I just wanted to own a car but my family situation is not good enough to buy one," said Ziyad.

When he came across Skoda's contest to name the next SUV in February, he thought of giving it a shot. Skoda's condition was that the name should start with K and end with Q. "I pondered over it for a few days and made a list of names starting with K and Q and then finalised on Kylaq," said Ziyad, who did a seven-year Islamic education at al Marjan Institute for Hafazath al Quran at Chemmad in Malappuram district. He also did a one-year Islamic degree education at Jamia Yamaniyya Arabic College at Kuttikatoor in Kozhikode.

Last week, Skoda India put out eight names for voting: Kwiq, Kylaq, Kosmiq, Kyroq, Kariq, Karmiq, Kliq and Kayaq. Based on the voting, five names were selected: Kwiq, Kylaq, Kosmiq, Kliq and Kayaq.

Two days ago, Ziyad got a call from Skoda India saying his name was selected. "Why? You can't believe it," the executive asked him. "Check the Skoda India Instagram account," the executive told him. "When I checked I saw my name. Mohammed Ziyad, Kerala," he said.

Kylaq will jostle for space alongside the Suzuki Brezza, Tata Nexon, KIA Sonet, and Mahindra XUV300. Skoda India is also taking 10 fans on a trip to Prague as part of the contest. One of them, Rajesh Sudhakaran, is from Kottayam.

The other nine are Varun Vasisht (Instagram: Varun_Solotraveller), Elaine B (FB: elainesue.baptista), Santhosh Joghee (X: Santhoshjoghee), Charan from Hyderabad, Arcchana Chalavadi from Chennai, Jaydeep Sarahiya (Insta: Jaydeepsarahiya), Saurabh Tandon (FB: Saurabh.tandon.311), Akilesh Srikantaiah (X: AkileshNrn), and Priyanka Chinchorkar from Pune.

Asanas: Meaning, Definition and Purpose

Anyone who’s taken a yoga class has probably heard the term “asana.” Asanas are the physical body positions or poses of yoga that form the foundation of a modern hatha yoga practice. While most classes only teach the basics, there is a wide range of difficulty and complexity of the yoga asanas. To fully understand and learn the asanas, we will need to uncover the history of them, their origin, and how they’re used today in yoga. Gaining this knowledge opens up the doors for us to have a deep, profound and insightful practice.

Asana meaning and definition in Yoga

Asana is a Sanskrit word meaning “posture,” “seat,” or “place.” Asanas are the physical positions we assume during a hatha yoga  practice. Each pose has its own Sanskrit and English name. Almost all of the Sanskrit names for the poses end with “asana.” For example, the classic lotus pose is named Padmasana, and the common tree poses is named Vrikshasana. Many of the asana names have come from the shapes and movements of animals and elements of the natural world. Some names differ by different schools of yoga , and some of the names have changed over time. There are several asanas that have been known by multiple names at different time periods.

There are many different types of poses , but they all follow the same basic principles of alignment and muscular engagement. They include everything from simple twists and backbends to advanced balancing poses . There can be many variations on the individual poses, and each variation has its own benefits, purpose and challenges.

An asana can be performed as a still and static position that can be held for several breaths, or it can be a posture that is part of a dynamic flowing movement that lasts for less than one inhale or exhale. The period of time it is held is dependent on the school of yoga followed and the intensity and difficulty of the physical posture. For example, Iyengar Yoga emphasizes yoga anatomy and physical alignment so the poses are held a while. In contrast,  Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa styles move quickly between poses linking movements with breath as in the sun salutations.

While there is no wrong way to do any asana, there are a general principles of alignment, breathing techniques, and mindfulness that should be followed to prevent injury and maximize the benefits of yoga .

How many yoga postures are there?

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras was one of the first yogic texts to mention the word asana. Patanjali includes it as one of the eight limbs of yoga and in sutra 2.47 he notes that asana should be “steady and comfortable.” The classic Hatha Yoga Pradipika text describes 18 postures but goes on to state that “Shiva taught 84 asanas.” Yet a later text called The Gheranda Samhita notes that “there are 8,400,000 asanas described by Shiva. The postures are as many in number as there are numbers of species of living creatures in this universe. Among them 84 are the best; and among these 84, 32 have been found useful for humankind in this world.” Most yoga teachers only lead about 15-25 poses in their classes. YogaBasics’ pose directory has 120 of the main modern asanas listed with photos and step-by-step instructions.

The history of the asanas

The original asanas were simple seated positions designed to be performed by yogis during meditation . They were steady yet comfortable shapes designed to focus the mind and calm the nerves and allow one to enter a deep meditative state.

Since those early days, more and more asanas were created for different reasons. In the 11th century at the Goraksha Sataka text was the first to describe a non-seated asanas. The Hatha Yoga Pradipika was written in the 15th century and describes 18 poses, but none of these are standing poses . Non- seated poses first appear in the Gheranda Samhita which was composed in the 17th century.

In the famous 1966 asana book Light on Yoga , B. K. S. Iyengar included the asanas his teacher Krishnamacharya created from a fusion of traditional Indian wrestling, gymnastics, and British Army calisthenics. In 1974 yoga instructor Sri Dharma Mittra created an “Ultimate Yoga Chart” poster that contained a list of 908 asanas which was later published as a book .

The difference between asanas and other physical exercise

The practice of yoga combines stretching, breathing, mindfulness and meditation to improve your health, reduce stress and increase strength and flexibility. It’s less of a workout and more of an exploration into the mind-body connection. It’s a holistic lifestyle that is a mental and spiritual journey rather than a physical challenge.

In contrast, gymnastics and other physical exercise focus on building muscle mass, endurance and stamina through quick repetitions or sets of movement. There is no emphasis on breath work, mindfulness or developing the mind-body connection. Yoga is not a competitive sport like running or weight lifting. It is designed to develop balance, coordination and concentration through controlled movement while embracing non-judgement, kindness and compassion for yourself and others.

Asanas purpose and benefits

The modern practice of asana focuses primarily on its health benefits, and is used as a low-impact form of exercise. The traditional goals of asana also included preventing disease and promoting a healthy body but focused more on its spiritual purpose and benefits. By learning to control and discipline the body, the body’s energy and mind are also calmed and focused. Below are the more traditional and perhaps unknown purposes of a regular asana practice:

• Yoga asanas are practiced to increase inner strength and focus to create a strong container to withstand the intensity of tapas , the austerity practices used to reach a state of enlightenment.
• Yoga postures are used to control, purify and cultivate prana , the life-force energy the flows through the nadis or energy channels of the body.
• Asana practice creates mental, emotional and energetic balance. When you perform asanas regularly, it helps reduce negative thought patterns and regulate the emotions .
• Asanas are one of several yogic practices used to reduce bad karma and prevent its accumulation.
• A grounded and steady physical practice facilitates the deeper practices of pranayama, bandha, and mudra. These hatha yoga practices help direct and calm the energy and promote further exploration of the subtle body.
• A strong asana practice enables one to explore the conscious and unconscious mind through the layers of the koshas and subtle body. This allows one to gain insight into the true nature of self and reality.

The relevancy of asana in the yoga tradition

Asanas are a relatively small aspect of yoga when compared to the overall depth and breath of the tradition of yoga. They are a relatively small slice of an older and much larger body of knowledge, philosophy, lineage, and techniques. For example, you can explore other aspects of yoga such as breathing exercises , meditation, codes of social conduct, self-observances, diet, devotion, or selfless service, without having to do any asanas at all.

The ultimate goal of yoga is the union of one’s individual mind, body, and spirit. Yoga poses are one method you can help you attain peace within yourself by practicing self-discipline and self-awareness. Asanas were not intended to be a standalone practice. Instead, they were meant to complement the other practices of yoga .

4 responses to “asanas: meaning, definition and purpose”.

As a long-time yoga practitioner, I found this article to be a helpful reminder of the basic principles of asanas. It’s important to always go back to the fundamentals

I am curious to know more about the history and origin of these asanas. Are they all from ancient India, or have they been developed over time by different cultures?

I had no idea there were so many variations of yoga asanas!

Ultimately, the goal of yoga is to find that union within ourselves. Asanas are just one tool to help us on that journey of self-discipline and self-awareness.
