Tom Egenes

When you think of Tom Egenes, you think of Sanskrit.

Tom has sold more books on learning Sanskrit to English speakers than anyone else in the world. His two textbooks, Introduction to Sanskrit 1 and Introduction to Sanskrit 2 are best sellers in their category, if you can imagine, used at many universities in the US, Europe, and Japan.

His Sanskrit classes have been enduring sources of joy for students year after year since 1985, when he first started teaching at MUM.

Before that, he spent three years teaching at Maharishi School, where he developed a Sanskrit curriculum and teaching materials for kindergarten through 12th grade.

Working with the great Dr. Vernon Katz, Tom produced The Upanishads: A New Translation. With Dr. Kumada Reddy he gave us All Love Flows to the Self: Eternal Stories from the Upanishads.

When you think of Tom, you also think of Linda Egenes, freelance writer, teacher, and long-time friend extraordinaire.

Tom has been a stalwart professor, colleague, friend, and source of happiness to countless people at MUM for more than three decades.
