Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages of the world. Sanskrit is used for a large corpus of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain spiritual and religious texts, and thus considered the ‘Laungage of God’. Sanskrit literature encompasses a large and rich tradition of poetry, drama, scientific and philosophical works. While translations are available for most of these texts, it is most satisfying to obtain this knowledge directly from the primary sources.

The iPhone App is developed by Sri. Krishna Varma (KV). Krishna Varma is a Samskritam enthusiast and a software architect with vast experience in mobile application development. He has worked in the US for 15 years and recently returned to Hyderabad and working independently. He has also taken up Vyakaranam studies in Hyderabad and volunteers activities for Samskrita Bharati. He can be contacted at kvarma at gmail dot com.
