Dīkṣā – A Sanskrit Study Guide for U.S.S. Examination - Kannan C.S.
 
Dīkṣā, written by Kannan C.S., is a focused and student-friendly study guide specially designed for learners preparing for the Upper Secondary Scholarship (U.S.S.) Sanskrit examination in Kerala. The book includes well-curated materials that help students revise key topics efficiently, making it a valuable resource for academic success.
 
The author, Kannan C.S., is not just an experienced Sanskrit teacher but also a dedicated sādhaka (spiritual practitioner) associated with Gurupadam—a living expression of the ancient Ārsha guru tradition of India. Gurupadam is a spiritual and cultural initiative devoted to upholding Sanātana Dharma through disciplined living, Sanskrit education, spiritual practice, service to society, and the nurturing of a values-based way of life rooted in equality and harmony.
 
This book is a result of the author’s long-standing commitment to Sanskrit learning and teaching within the Gurupadam tradition. It provides students with both academic support and cultural grounding, helping them approach the subject not just as a school topic, but as a window into India’s timeless wisdom.
