Subject: [Sanskrit] 	Electronic library of books in
	ancient/traditional Indian knowledge

Respected friends,

Namaste,

Since March 2005, I am involved in a modest effort to
set up a free electronic library of books in
ancient/traditional Indian sects, scriptures,
sasthras, art, music, dance, magic and literature.

The electronic library will be available free of
charge on the World Wide Web for students, scholars
and researchers worldwide.

At present, the project has created 26 electronic
books (including rare ones like Baalavimshathi,
Soundaryalahari with details of tantric applications,
Dhanurvedam, Bharatha's Natyasastram, Prapanchasaaram,
Saaradatilakam, Maathangaleela (ayurveda for
elephants) in PDF format.

Help is required in four areas:

1. Donating copies of
books/manuscripts/monographs/recordings in hardcopy or
softcopy to the library.
2. Functioning as a volunteer editor/transcriber for
the library to help convert the documents into
electronic form
3. Donating money to the fund for the library and its
website.
4. Suggestions/pointers on books and other materials
and also possible topics and sections that can be
included in the library, and on the general
functioning of the library.

I request you to kindly give your thoughts on the idea
itself.

I have decided to give a humble token of gratitude -
the powerful Dhana Aaakarshana Maha Mantra for wealth
and all the detailed instructions of its sadhana to
those who donate to the project.

Also, pls forward this mail to your friends/contacts
who might be interested in helping this project.

Thanks

Sarath Kumar
