eGangotri X: Digitizations in SriNagar

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotri, Manuscripts

I am back from a short trip to Srinagar and now already on my Way to the World Sanskrit Conference 2015 in Bangkok,Thailand. If anyone is coming there, then do email me, I will be happy to meet them.

Anyone eager to have my Data bring a 2 TB hard drive also, I will do my best to make everyone happy.

I was very lucky to meet many Important People in the Field of Culture in Srinagar . And we digitized a few manuscripts also. But it was unfortunately very short but I did get a lot of tips to be able to explore more of Kashmir fruitfully in Future. And a Team of One Member is now stationed in Srinagar for digitization and hoping to hire atleast one More Person to start work at the Kashmir University Library’s Sanskrit Collection.

The Most Important thing we got to do is meet T.N. Ganjoo ji at his residence and recieve 10 Sharada Manuscripts and One 1919 Publication of Mahartha Manjari edited by T Ganapati Shastri from him.

The Most Important Manuscript which I think we did was the Sanskrit Prose Translation of Lal Dyad. It preserves the Oldest specimens of the Kashmiri Language and many obsolete Kashmiri Words will now be better understood by Scholars through this Manuscript. This is the only manuscript of its kind.

Lal Dyad With Sanskrit Translation – Sharada_Ram Shaiva Ashram_Part1.pdf

and this is the Another Very Important Manuscript we did:

Para Praveshika and Other 11 Manuscripts – Sharada_Ram Shaiv Ashram_3_Part1.pdf

It is a Composite Manuscript with the following texts with 607 pages:

I have One More Manuscript to share which I will do later as I have to edit it first. At 1500+ pages it is a Vedic Compilation but I am not exactly sure about its contents.
This One Illustrated Manuscript – is from Ishwar Ashram Trust, New Delhi. I had photographed it formerly, now scanned it with Our New Systems to get a Proper Compact PDF.
