Introduction
Mastery of the introduction is the key to establishing rapport with others — and doing it in Sanskrit lends a touch of tradition, respect, and timelessness.
To present oneself in Sanskrit is not just a matter of saying “My name is.” There are urbane options depending on whether you are addressing a man, a woman, or officially. From “भवत: नाम किम्?” (What is your name? for men) to “मम नाम सीता:” (My name is Sita), Sanskrit offers a rich system based both on politeness and grammatical correctness.
