The book presents a series of simple Sanskrit episodes from the Mahabharata, designed to enhance grammar knowledge while exploring themes from the epic. Each chapter not only focuses on language learning but also delves into significant themes found within the Sanskrit epics. Prior completion of specific earlier courses in Sanskrit is recommended for students to fully benefit from this series, ensuring a solid foundation for their studies.

The first group of books entitled Sanskrit is Fun (Parts I-III) introduce the learners to the Devanagari alphabets, grouping the letters according to their place of articulation, called 'Family', which comprises both the vowels and consonants. Learners are first taught how to draw the letters. Learning and teaching is also helped by the humorous presentation of the letters in the form of animals figures. The next step is to add vowel to the consonants, and then to teach joint (compound) consonants. Finally words and sentences are formed.
