Republishing of important Sanskrit works

Background

Bhāratīya literature is the vastest in the world and it spans various subjects and their schools of thought. The literature is logically structured and many benefit even a lay reader.

Vision

1. To continue the efforts of our forefathers to bring to the public literature, mainly Bhāṣya and Ṭīkās already in book or manuscript form as searchable text.

2. To provide a platform where concordance can be established easily.

3. Bring out well annotated Ṭīkā and Bhāṣya texts for ease of learning.

4. Help scholars republish works in manuscript form and thereby preserve them online.

5. Bring out translations of important works.

6. Help Sanskrit students of intermediate proficiency attain higher levels
