This book has a Story.

This Book I had first purchased in 1997-98 from MRML, Nai Sarak ( now vacated ]

then got misplaced when I was coming back from America

And only later I realized what a colossal damage I had done to Scholarship in loosing a book with some of the Oldest and best samples of Early Sanskrit based Hindi Writing of the 19th Century but the Guardian Deities of Learning were on my side and I ran into it here in Singapore of all Place !!!! in the North Indian Hindu Association Library.

They were very kind to lend it to me and I have returned the book to them today

Numero Uno:

1. www.scribd.com  ( Huge Justice to Sanskrit, Hindi and Other Indian Langauges ) . Most User friendly and Comprehensive Book Sharing Site.

( One Minor caveat. trying to download a book, If you dont have a login account with huge amounts of uploads, Scribd will irk you for either membership fees or uploads in exchange. In that case just dump any random eText you have from a Washing Machine Manual to T V Tuner Guide and you can bypass.

2. Google Books ( http://books.google.com )

If you are not in USA ( and some other Countries )  this might not work. Strangely you will be shown the book with no way to either view it or download it.

http://bypassy.com/ to your Rescue. This will give you the View as any Viewer in US will  get and you will be able to download the Rare and out of Copyright Books.

Browse through bypassy and you will be able to see it as US Viewer will.

https://www.torproject.org is also helpful. Use there Tor Browser.

http://www.gbooksdownloader.com/ will help downloading the books without a browser.

3. www.4shared.com

( Caveat : if you dont have a paid account they will force you to wait for a few seconds. Workaround is to have a free account and use the Transfer to My Account Link and the book will be in your free account and you can now download it from anywhere where ever you can log in from

4. www.libgen.info (Mostly for English books but almost has 80% of the books I searched for. every major writer is there)

The Most Samaritan of all and most books and authors are there but not so great for Indology but Reserach in general.

5. archive.org. Very Useful for Sanskrit only books.

6. avaxsearch.com ( some irritations like useless links, popups and may be even viruses and generally less success rate.

7. DLI (http://www.dli.ernet.in/). I hate DLI. A very Historic Opportunity to assmble and catalog the Heritage of India – yet again was wasted thanks for giving business to the same ppl who were responsible for the CommonWealth Games , 2G and the Coal Mines Scandal. Is a living Testimonial to the advances of Literacy and Common Sense among the masses back home.

However, exemptable from the diatribe above is the Feedback Team who are – suprisingly prompt in restoring broken Links.

The following DLI Viewer is a nifty handy tool for viewing the books and downloading them – which the pre-80s UI of the DLI Website makes a massive pain.

Many thanks and gratitude to Shri Samvit Prakash Dar Sahib, Shri R.K. Sadhu, and Shri Dev Munshiji of the Ishwar Ashram Trust to allow Society for Preservation of Indological Books to scan there Entire Publications and several rare and very interesting Volumes from there Library ( ex. Urdu Translations of Skt. Originals, Braj Bhasha Translations, Two Sharada Manuscripts etc).

Total Number of Books scanned is 115.

The books are available at:

Interesting Titles and Collections

(1) Complete Works of Swami Lakshman Joo in Hindi ( 12 Books )

(http://www.scribd.com/my_document_collections/3824928)

That this is the complete List of Swamiji’s Hindi Books is a surmise only as the only other Organization to publish Swami Lakshman Joo is Universal Shaiva Fellowship and I dont believe they have ever published anything in Hindi.

(2) 28 Ishwar Ashram Trust Publications besides

(3) 9 Books of Swami Ram Shaiva Trika Ashram.

http://www.scribd.com/my_document_collections/3830291

I was not aware that Swami Ramjoo – the Guru of Swami Lakshman Joo still has a Active following and that they are publishing as well. I got to speak to one disciple Shri Ganjooji whose number I got through one of the Publications itself and came to know that he is living in the Swami Ram Trika Ashram in Shrinagar. I have had the fortune of being there once. And after speaking to Shri Ganjooji and coming to know that they have a Collection of Books I have  a sort of future plan to go there and scan those books and find some rare works.

My this trip to Delhi, I requested Agarwal Sahib if I could personally look through his library which was a small dusty room full of jam packed almiras.

Thanks to Agarwal Sahib’s kindness to let me search I am pleased to announce I have found many rare books which probably not more than 10 people in the World possess – who are also most likely not aware of the seminal Content of them and will never bother to ever do anything to circulate them.

Two such books are:

Atma Vilas ( a Hindi Commentary and Original was uploaded last time )

with Vimarshini Commentary in Sanskrit of B N Pandit.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/105182999/Shri-Atma-Vilas-With-Vimarshini-Amrit-Vagbhava-Acharya-and-B-N-Pandey

Shri Prakashini – Raghunath Chandra Vasishth
Shri Prasadini – Shri Ramanand Tiwari

and
