Grandmother's Prayer Book

This prayer book was prepared by our Grandmother and given to us as a wedding gift. Her original book is handwritten in Sanskrit and English, with her own translations of most of the Sanskrit shlokas; it is recreated here word for word and in the same order. Naani recited the Sanskrit prayers so that you can listen and follow along.
