Dear All:
Thanks to Shri Virendra Qazi ji – one of the few Native Kashmiris carrying the Tradition of Swami Lakshman joo, Neelkanth Gurtoo and B N Pandit and spreading the Word of Shiva. He has very generously allowed us to scan his two Sharada manuscripts in his possession – I am still not sure of its Contents but they are probably something related to Lord Krishna.

I think the First One consists of three manuscripts because I saw the Sharada Numerals repeated ( though remote – I hope this is Krama Keli or IPV/IPVV , a hope for every manuscript we are digitizing.
Many thanks to Kaziji also in allowing us to scan his Entire Collection of Kashmir Shaivism – which will bring out several rare hidden gems of Kashmir – he has accumulated over a Lifetime. He is the Only Kashmiri Pandit who has shown such open-mindedness/eagerness to give everything to the Netizens , A True Missionary Attitude – in which most KP’s have sorely disappointed me.
We also have digitized Two Diaries( written on a Gita Press Gorakhpur Dainandini showing Year 1929 and 1931 ) in Hindi ( I had thought this would be Sanskrit ) of Swami Amrit Vagbhava Acharya. Swamiji was along with Swami Lakshman Joo the only Two Sanskritist Masters of 20th Century following Kashmir Shaivism. Swamiji had spent a lot of time in Srinagar and his Spiritual Adventures are very excellently documented by BN Pandit in the Biography Sw. Amrit Vagbha Charitamritam ( Shri Gurudeva Amrit Vahbhava Acharya Charitamrita – B.N Pandit )

And therefore can give some Spiritiually relevant Historical information of Kashmir and the Spiritual Scene then.
We have some more pages of his Diaries to digitize and a huge cache of Letters many in Sanskrit including those of his Chief Disciples B N Pandit.
This Diaries’ discovery has happened after more than 3 years of search and I was so happy to finally get hold of it. when I first found the Diary I knew this was the hand writting ofa Mystic par excellence and the Orthograhy itself is worthy of preserving to speak nothing of the Content.
My Aplogies: I gave misleading information last time. Well known Author Motil Lal Pandit is indeed the the nephew of B N Pandit – but he is not the Famous B N Pandit we all know of – the fact I confirmed with Amit Panditji, son of M.L. Pandit. Which reminds me I am yet to get the photocopy of Swatantrya Deepika Manuscript from him.
The Swatantrya Deepika I sent last time, Mark Guruji has since edited it furthur and would like you all to discard the Old Version and use the Most uptodate below:
