    Shaivite Library

    Hi......

    Due to the general lack of information or study resources pertaining to shaivism on the internet, as compared to Vaishnavism or Advaita, I have been putting together a collection of ebooks on Shaivism I have found on the Internet.It's not complete yet , but currently there are 113 files(all pdf),total 316 mb.Any idea how i could go about sharing this with other Shaivas on HDF and make it available for public download?
    Thanks.

    That would be a treasure trove!

    May I suggest that you can get in touch with the folks over at sanskritdocuments.org? Perhaps they have the webspace already available to host your documents.

    They have a nice collection of Sanskrit works here.

    Omk. I can help you setup a standalone website for the library also if you'd like. You can have the download hosted on your own server or other file sharing websites, or P2P clients.

    namaste,
    HDF has its own library at http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=4544.

    I can place your pdfs on the server and provide a link to download them from a directory on the server.

    But as others have suggested there are better places to put these files on the Internet.

    Re: Shaivite Library

    Twillight dance,I am not talking about only academic articles on kashmir shaivism and tantra ,but a comprehensive collection,like the ISKCONites have.I am talking about ebooks on the internet rather than printed works.I want it to cover all sects of shaivism.It includes translations of the verses of the nayanars,academic articles on the history of shaivism,books summarizing the shaivite puranic stories,arricles on the philisophy and theology of all sects of shaivism except the pashupatas and veerashaivas,on whom I have found nothing at all.
    I have gone through the hdf library and it is excellent,but most of the books I have are not up here.Some of the books I have seem to be under copyright,for eg.Kashmir Shaivism -The Secret Supreme.Will I be breaking copyright law if I post links to places where they are aldready posted? I would prefer to avoid putting them up myself.

    Thanks.

    huh? but more than contradiction, i don't believe what you are saying is correct. on contrary shaivism is most easily available thing about hinduism on the net due larger academic interest it has seen over the last few decades.

    It's not complete yet , but currently there are 113 files(all pdf),total 316 mb.Any idea how i could go about sharing this with other Shaivas on HDF and make it available for public download?
    Thanks.
    that size can be shared even over social networks, apart from file hosting sites including google docs. you can also create a blog and attach files in posts....sort of long winded perhaps.

    Namaste Omkara

    Your Library is amazing. Thanks a ton for sharing so many of great resources.
    When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)

    Nice collection especially the Siva Gnana Botham books which every shaivite should read and master

    Namaskar Omkaraji,

    I was wondering f you had ever been able to locate your library elsewhere since scribd took it down? I know a lot of work went into it and starting over may not be practical, even if you have the time. But I thought it worth asking, the brief time I was able to look through it, it was fantastic.
