Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
namaste Satay.
I have since mailed the HinduTexts.rar file to Amith, obtaining his email id through his PM to me.
I thank you for your offer of hosting our Library in the free Website you referred to, but I doubt if they would accommodate document storage of the size of nearly 40 GB! Further, there might be copyright issues if we resort to store documents. Therefore, my suggestion as to the Library is that as and when you find time, you may mail the HinduTexts.rar file to all our members, in batches, starting with the senior members, since you have the email ids of everyone.
However, I have some ideas as to how we can put that free Website to some good use, if they could give us some (MySQL) databases and php programming facilities. We have so much of useful material in HDF, interspersed with debate in most cases. We might cull out the traditional knowledge members posted here and consolidate them under convenient reference headings in that free Website. For this purpose, we might first ask the members themselves to collect the traditional knowledge in their postings (giving sources for all quotes and opinions), classify them under pre-determined headers, and post that knowledge first in a thread in HDF. After suitable scrutiny, these can be moved to the new, reference Website.
I have some other ideas of some of us working collectively to create an interactive (but nor forum type interaction) Website that could be useful for our learning about our Sanatana Dharma at different levels: children, youth, novices, sAdhakas and pandits.
As part of this knowledge we might also have a Question Bank and run a Personal Quiz, which is not competitive, but would serve to enhance a member's personal knowledge using scores for right answers and calculation of a Personal Knowledge Quotient. Each member would optionally take a quiz of randomly asked questions, whenever he/she feels like, answer, say some 10 questions in 10-minute sessions, and accumulate scores for right answers. The questions once answered will be remembered and won't reappear for that member. The number of questions in the Question Bank will keep on increasing as we add questions, and the quiz-taking member will have a moving target to chase and catch. We can have a team of members with good knowledge about our religion, to prepare the post the questions to the QB, with a core team that approves them.
I shall collect my ideas and thoughts, workout something and submit it for your consideration as soon as I can. Meantime, if this idea appeals to you, you might think about finding a suitable host and service--free or paid. If it is paid (which would be better), some of us might share the cost. I shall work out something after getting your approval of the idea (perhaps in consultation with other members).

Do you want me to find out more about the free account? I don't mind putting it to good use if it is possible to work out the logistics of separate account management etc. I will look into this...

Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
This must be the largest single compilation of the references/links to the Hindu literature available anywhere on the internet and on behalf of the entire Hindu Dharma Forum community, I thank Saidevo, for making this possible.
-
Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
namaste everyone.
I am happy about the compliments for my compilation. I thank members who have added to my reputation points. Since I have received points for this thread from four or five members already, I request any member seeing this thread for the first time not to give me any more repu. points.
I have since uploaded the HinduTexts.rar file to esnips here:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/6c3d3d9d-1...7ef/HinduTexts
All you need is to download the zip file, unzip it and set up the Library using the boldfaced guidelines given in my post no.41. Setting up is easy, and once this is done you may download using the 0index.html file only those books you need and then move them to their own folders.
Feedback from anyone regarding the setup is welcome.

Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations

HDF Library link
Upon my request, our admin Satay has added a 'Library' link after the 'FAQ' link in the menu bar of the HDF homepage. This link connects to the OP of this link.
Those who want to proceed straightaway to downloading select books and build their own Hindu personal library, may straightaway go to the last page of the thread, and follow the guidelines given in post no.55 there.
Since, time and again, (new) members enquire about texts and translations, this measure would facilitate everyone to first check the comprehensive library links for their requirement before searching outside.

Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
Unfortunately most of these texts are sanskrit only. I'm not sure I'm majority but I still can't read it.
Saidevo, can you (and others) recommend me good translations with commentaries of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad?

Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
Namaste Saidevo and all,
flying to Hyderabad for a 10 day stay visiting family, the routine im sure you all can guess. Planning to visit Ramakrishna Mutt in town, my most favorite place in town. What books would you recommend from there, say i have room for about 20 to 30 books. Iam not sure what other book stores have a collection of scriptures. Dhanya vadam.

Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
namaste charitra.
RK MaTham has published good books on upaniShads, with Sanskrit verse, English transliteration and meaning. So, if you are collecting scriptures, your first choice could be the ten upaniShads. I have a good set of their published Hindu texts.
• They have a 2-volume set titled 'Eight UpaniShads' with Shankara's commentary, plus the remaining two upaniShads, viz.ChAndogya and bRhadAraNyaka published separately.
• They also have a gift pack of some upaniShads priced at Rs.250/- or so. These are Sanskrit-English too, and although they don't have Shankara's commentary, they are good for quick reference and reading.
• BrahmasUtra with Shankara's commentary: a heavy book, could be useful for reference.
• If you are interested in Shankara's works, they have some of them. You might have a glance at each book and buy what you prefer: could be viveka chUDAmaNI, upadesha sahasri, bhajagovindam, Atmabodha, tattva bodha and so on.
• If you want to read introductory books on Vedanta and bhagavad gItA, they have them.
• Of course, they are the source for books on/by VivekAnanda and RAmakRShNa.
• Some other books that I saw here (http://www.infibeam.com/Books/ramakr...on-publisher/),
and could be of help might include (I have not glanced at them):
01. Hinduism Frequently Asked Questions By Chinmayananda Swami [Unknown]
02. Hindu Culture An Introduction By Swami Tejomayananda
and possibly many others. Check these Websites further to arrive at your preferences:
http://www.belurmath.org/publication.htm
http://www.chennaimath.org/estore
Wish you a happy collection!

Re: A Personal Library of Hindu Sanskrit Texts Translations
namaste everyone.
Even if you may not prefer to have ALL the books in the Library whose links I have collected here, it would be easy to have the 00index.html interface plus the required folders set up in your system, so you might use the interface to download only what you need and then move it to its related folder. You can also use the 00index.html file to read the books, with necessary plugins to the browsers. For more details, check post #55 in this thread.
Someone said the Library has Sanskrit originals, but it also has English translations whereever I could get them, plus a good number of English texts on Hindu scriptures, dharma, religion and philosophy.

I downloaded a WinRAR extractor and then downloaded your .RAR file and extracted it. When I open the extraction I see a "hindu-granthashAlA: Hindu Library: Sanskrit Originals, Translations and Related", but none of the links in the index open files or documents. I see two "Vedic Culture" links in the "Library", but when I click on the link, nothing opens.
Am I doing something wrong?

Note that all these folders are empty to start with and that when you download a file you should move it to the related folder, as shown in the browser status bar against a link.
Now if you open the 0index.html file in a browser, you will see a long HTML page, wherein the initial entries are links to the appropriate sections within the page. For example, the link Rg takes you to the section Rg veda, wherein the individual entries would be books. Note that the book links map to your local folder and the vertical bar link to the download link.
If you click a book entry now, say shAkalya shAkhA: maNDalam 1, nothing would open and you would get an error, because you are yet to download the book. And to download the book you should click or right-click-save on the vertical bar | next to the book link, and then move the downloaded book to its related folder, 00HinduGranthashAlA/hsk01/Rgveda/ folder in this case, where the book-file name is rk_ved_m1.pdf.
You should set up each and every document in this way. I suggest that you go through the book entries, download what you want to a common folder, say the parent folder, and then move the books to their related folders. Once the books are in place in their folders, the book links that map to them will open. Most of the books are in pdf format, so you would need a pdf reader to read the file or an appropriate browser plug-in to open it inside the browser.
All this might appear daunting at first, but once you try, it is easy. Open the HTML file, download a book and then move it to its folder--that's all. Please try with these guidelines and give your feedback here so I can help you further with any problems that might arise.
