eGangotri XIII: All Kashmir Shaiva Works; 2 Balinese Lontars; 20 Commentary Bhagavat Gita

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotri2 Comments
Subsequent to my discovery of the 4 Post-Stein Catalogs of Raghunath Temple by Patkar and Kamal Kishor Mishra ji, I decided to concentrate on all Kashmirian Works in the Library first – and my wishlist augmented by the Online IGNCA Catalog of the same.
Hence, work is now progressing through a Wishlist of about 100 manuscripts which upon completion  will allow us to resume the Original per-almira-order.
These Manuscript Catalogs which are to a large extent uptodate – though a lot of entires catalogued were missing from the Library:
The Catalogs can be seen here:

If any Scholar wishes to get anything in particular scanned, I will be able to entertain those requests provided it is a Critical Work and related to Kashmir Shaivism which I may have overlooked.

This is one Jain Prakrit Manuscript that we did:
Shiva Jiva Dashakam is yet another Sahib Kaul work that we have freshly discovered.
Sri Vidya Nitya Paddhati a very crucial work that will shed light on Sri Vidyaism in Kashmir – that I had assumed to have been hitherto unknown based on several Telephonic Inquiries with Indian Scholars – turns out thanks to the correction by Prof. Sanderson – available as a manuscript in European Libraries and discussed by Prof. Sanderson in four of his Articles all available at his Academia.edu Page.
Shiva Jiva Dashakam – it is possible is really unknown to anyone.
I had a great fortune to visit Bali earlier this Month. Amongst other Wonderful things like my stay at Prabhu Darma Yasa-jis Ashram and the Satsang and the Rituals , I had the rare fortune of a random visit to a Shaman’s Residence. My causal inquiry if they had lontars ( Balinese manuscripts ) I was shown a heap of them. They were over generous and let me take pictures, I only photographed two of these which time and my strengh at that hour of the evening permitted.
These Can be now viewed at our FB Page:
I dont have the faintest clue what they are about but are most likely in Old Javanese interspersed with Sanskrit, though my phone camera didnt exactly do an Optimal Job. Inputs by experts of Balinese Literature are welcome. I also was able to reach out to two Experts n Bali who are responsible for the Digitization of Balinese Manuscripts at archive.org and recieved a complete copy of there Digitial Efforts also available at archive.org – not least give them as mcuh eBooks/e-manuscripts as they were interested in.
And finally, thanks to this Wonderful article by Jai Kishan Sharma of Jammu, PhD Sanskrit Jammu University

eGangotri XII: New Work of Sahib Kaul and a Tibetan Manuscript

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotriLeave a comment

Dear All:

In this Issue of eGangotri, Almira 27, Shelf-2 and 3, mostly Tantric Material are now digitized Completely.

List of all Items in Almira 27 Shelf 2

List of all Items in Almira 27 Shelf 3

All Items can be seen uploaded newly at:

https://www.scribd.com/dharmarthatrustalm27

One of the Most Interesting Items in these Shelves was Sri Vidya Paddhati of Sahib Kaul at 771 Pages.

Sahib Kaul, believed to be an Enlgihtened Shaiva Master of Medieval Kashmir whose Devi Nama Vilas is published – and a manuscript in Sharada we have digitized also – located at Ishwar Ashram Trust, Sarita Vihar, Delhi. This New Work I reckon is not only unpublished but is unknown as well.

Terminal Colophon:

श्रीम्च्छ्रीमहामाहेश्वराचार्य सर्व दैशिकवरेन्द्र चक्रचूडामणि साहिब कौल विरचिता श्री विद्या नित्य पूजा पद्धतिः समाप्ता

This Document may be an Authentic Source of History of the State of the Transmission of Sri Vidya in Kashmir.

I will try to contact Prof. Donald Renfrew Brooks ( his email unknow to me ) – the Author of the Highly readable and comprehensive ‘Auspicious Wisdom – The Texts and Traditions of Sri vidya Sakta Tantrism in South India‘ – and see if this new manuscript means anything.

The Manuscript is below:

Shelf-4-5-6 are entirely musicological. They are mostly thick tomes. One Rag Malhar – in Old Hindi Prose at 779 pages – on Music as well – is viewable below:

eGangotri XI: Almira 28 Last Manuscript; Ganjoojis Vedic Manuscript at 1536 Pages; Almira 27 Manuscripts

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotri1 Comment

Dear All:

Almira 28 is now finally over with its last remaining Book finally digitized unless the 3-4 items that were photo-catalogued but we could not trace are found again – and available below – :

6216 Sanskrit Persian Arabic Kashmiri Hindi English Tibetan Kosh Alm 28 Shlf 2 Part1

This is a very laudable endeavour to complile synonyms in Persian, Arabic, Sanskrit, Kashmiri,Hindi,Tibetan and English 

Unfortunately for Tibetan ( referred as Bhot )  though named in the Tables, entries are not seen.

The only script used is Devanagari even for English.

I have now redevised my Scribd User Accounts.

Earlier I had planned to make all manuscripts available at 

https://www.scribd.com/dharmarthatrust

But clearly this is not desirable and I have now introduced a new Scheme wherein every Almira will have a corresponding Scribd Id and all its contents will be uploaded exclusively there:

Through the new Scheme you can view:

Manuscripts at Almira 28-A

https://www.scribd.com/dharmarthaTrustAlm28A

This Site has manuscripts containing several Devanagari Manhabharatas and one Tibetan Manuscript which can only be photographed due to its Size and will soon be uploaded to my Facebook Page as an Album.

and Almira 27

https://www.scribd.com/dharmarthatrustalm27

Almira 27 first 3 Shelfs are books exclusively on Tantra and some Kashmir Shaiva Texts – all in Devanagari. Shelfs 4-6 are on Musicology.Also in Devanagari.

Shelf-1 of ALmira 27 is complete and all titles can be viewed below:

List of All Manuscripts in Almira 27 Shelf-1 ( 36 Items )

Amongst entries in Almira 27 some interesting ones were:

Swachchandaotyota of Kshemaraj at 775 Pages.

Swachchandotyota – Kshemraj Alm 27 Shlf 2 6048 1658 k Devanagari – Tantra Part1

A Vitasta Stotram – Hymns to Jhelum River – the chief River of Kashmir/Srinagar.

Vitasta Stotram Alm 27 Shlf 2 6062 1726 K Devanagari – Stotra

Matanga Vritti – a Shaiva SIddhanta DOcument:

Matang Vrittih Alm 27 Shlf 2 6047 1657 K Devanagari – Tantra Part1

and Malini Vartika of Abhinavagupta Maharaj:

Malini Vartika of Abhinavagupta Alm 27 Shlf 1 6028 Devanagari – Tantra

Other notable Works were Netrodyota of Kshemaraj, Krama Deepika, Shyama Rashayasm/Tara Rahasyam, Sharika Panchanga, Shakti Sangam Tantra, Niruttara Tantra ( Satish Apte, you had been looking for a Printed COpy now you can read its Manuscript Original ).

The Vedic Manuscript which I had recieved from Ganjoo ji is also now available for viewing:

Vedic Texts in Sharada – Ram Shaiv Ashram_Part1

Ignore the Rajatarangini written in Sharada on the Cover.

Comments welcome regarding what it contains ? I have asked Michael Witzel already.

Soon I will post a Report of my Books and Manuscripts Survey in Srinagar with lots of Photographs including damages caused by the Floods.

Luckily Ishwar Ashram Trust, Srinagar Library was completely spared – owing to its elevated Position and my Staff is now assiduously working there – thanks to the Kindness of Dr. Anusheel Munshi, Raina Sahib and other Honourable Trust Members and within 2 Months I will have the entire Library digital which includes the Meditation Hall Library, Library of Mataji Prabha Devi and the Main library all in the Same Premises. This will be followed by digitizing the entire Print Collection of Ganjoo Sahib in Srinagar and also the Books at Swami Ram Shaiva shram, Fateh Kadal – I will check with the folks at Bhagwan Gopinath Ashram in future and any information of any Sanskrit Library in Srinagar or Mattan I welcome.

The few titles of IAT, Srinagar that we have uploaded can be seen below:

https://www.scribd.com/ishwarashramsrinagar

This library includes scores of Pre-1900 books and many of the Sanskrit publications of  great Bengali Maverick Jibananda Vidyasagar.

Infact Raghunath Temple has a Whole Almira of Jibananada Vidyasagar Published books in Decent Conditions which could represent the entire Publicstions of them   and at some point of time these will be digitized as well – but that would be after 2-3 years

Lastly some scholars had made some wishlists of Manuscripts they wanted done:

Some of these 20 odd ones are:

216Gha Dashraupavaloka Dhanajaya Dhanik – Alankar Shastra

451_Gh_Dashrupakavaloka – Dhananjaya and Dhanik – Alankar Shastra

406Gh_Vatsyayan Kama Sutra Vyakhya Kandarpa Chudamani of Vira Bhadra Deva – Alankar Shastra

4329_Vakya Bhedavada of Ananta Deva – Nyaya Vaisheshika.pdf

650_Pancha Sayaka Lakshya Vedhanakhya Vivarana Sahita_Part1

eGangotri X: Digitizations in SriNagar

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotri, Manuscripts7 Comments

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

eGangotri VIII: 5 Sharada Birch Bark Manuscripts in Almira 28

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotri, ManuscriptsLeave a comment

Dear All:

Sorry been kind of involved lately and sending this after a long time, even though we have unearthed so much and I will be notifying them slowly but the news for now is that we have digitized 5 Birch Bark Manuscripts ( including mutl-text Composite Manuscripts )  in Almira 28, All in Sharada Script containing extremely crucial Texts. Subjects were  Grammar, Vedanta,  Kashmir Shaivism (2) , and Literature

Even though these manuscripts are spread out in different shelves and it would be expected that the regular cataloguing would be used for them but actually there is an Different Internally Consistent for the Group Numbering/Indexing  used for All Manuscripts and Sub Manuscripts.

Below, under each title I wil produce the Numbering utilized by the Cataloguer which shows that he considered these Five Manuscripts as one Set. And if there is anything more to discover it will start from 21

eGangotri VII Almira 28 Shelf-1,2,3 Complete

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn Books, eGangotri, ManuscriptsLeave a comment

Dear All:

So finally 3 shelves of Almira 28 have been Done. Our First Full Manuscript Only Almira.

I am no longer going to provide Google Drive Links – at the cost of so much ease of Time-free transmission – as some determined net psychopath is randomly clicking “Report Abuse” liberally on my Manuscript Links and rendering them unshareable.

May maggots feed on his mindless fingers.

Seems Google doesnt have a Vandalism Check like Wiki’s Stiki.

Para Shambhu Mahimna Stava of Durvasa:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/252985362/Para-Shambhu-Mahimna-Stava-Hand-Writtern-Notes-of-B-N-Pandit-Durvasa

I had published photographs of this Rare Publication before which is the Personal Copy of Late B.N. Panditji with some Sanskrit Scribblings of his.

Finally – thanks again to Shaila Gulatiji to lending us this Copy for Proper Book Scanning. Here it is in an Excellent Format.

Para Shambhu Mahimna Stava Hand Writtern Notes of B.N. Pandit – Durvasa

I will remind readers that B.N Panditji’s Guru Shri Amrit Vagbhava had channelled several Sanskrit Writtings from Durvasa and he himself was called Durvasa because he was also of a very angry temperament. In the Light of this Information, the above a Durvasa Work ( or an interpretation ‘channelled’ in the Hoary Past ) and its importance to B N Panditji can be better understood.

The Text in itself is admirable good writting.

Sadguru Mark Dyczkowski’s Wish List:
We did the follwing four manuscripts for Sadguru Mark Dyczkowski.

Bhava Chudamani
https://www.scribd.com/doc/252981953/Bhava-Chudamani-Almira24-shelf1-5291-Devanagari-Vidya-Kantha

Bhava Chudamani turned out to be a very unusual entry which elicited the following remarks from Prof Sanderson:

Thank you for these excellent colour scans. I am particularly pleased to receive the scan of the Bhāvacūḍāmaṇi MS, which is to my knowledge the only surviving manuscript of this text, the commentary of the Kashmirian scholar Vidyākaṇṭha on the Saiddhāntika Pratiṣṭhātantra Mayasaṃgraha. I have read this manuscript in the past, but my copy was a black-and-white photocopy of inferior legibility obtained a decade or so ago by one of my pupils.

Yours sincerely.

Alexis Sanderson

Only Surviving Manuscript in the World !!!! Glad eGangtori could played a role in the Rescue. Thanks to Sadguru Mark Dyczkowski also.

Other interesting manuscripts included Bhakta Vinod – a 2300+ Folio Manuscript in Hindi Prose.

Containing biographies of Nabha Das and other Medieval Saints and profuse Quotations of Verses. Works of 19th Century Hindi Prose are extremely rare, therefore this Work stands out.

Another Tome was Sangeet Kalpa Druma at 1723 pages – which is massive collection of Bhajans and Kirtans :

Tremendous Great News :

A Prominent Library in Jammu – I am withholding Catalog and Name of Institute as I fear getting jynxed , having around 650+ Sanskrit Manuscripts out of which around 150 are in Sharada and rest in Devanagari – official Permission has been granted to allow us to scan there Collection and work will begin this Wednesday, right after Shiva Ratri.

One of the manuscripts in there Collection is Krama Stotra in 11 folios – this could contain Krama Keli we are hoping.

But what was more astounding that one of the Venereable Members of this Institution with whom me have been interacting – a Scholar of Persian and Arabic – told us that he is in possession of 1000+ Sharada Manuscripts besides thousands of Persian and Arabic Ones in his Collection in Srinagar which has been catalogues as well by NMM ( will try to get hold of this List) – so in the Summer I need to get a team ready to target these and be in Sri Nagar besides continuing the work in Jammu. And meet Mansour Daikoo also, who as Mrinal Kaul pointed out somehwere has the Largest Private Repository of Sharada manuscripts.

eGantotri VI. Manuscripts in Almira 9, Almira 28. Sanskrit Writtings of Parsis, Mantra in Tantraloka

On By eGangotri Digital Preservation TrustIn eGangotri, ManuscriptsLeave a comment
Dear All:
Merry Christmas to everyone.
We have been able to release around 100 Manuscripts which represents Our Efforts in the Last Three Weeks of Digitization at Raghunath Temple Library.
I have also rescanned the Working Catalog of the Library:
or
Almirah 9 – which was actually a Book Rack not a Manuscript Almirah had some Highly Interesting Sharada Manuscripts, shelved randomly – is now complete.
These Manuscripts were the remnants of – what I could gather – a Srinagar Library which was either torched or looted.
Thanks to the Bhairava of Destruction – He chose inaction for this cache which represents some of the most representative Texts of Kashmir Shaivism and consequently His Worship also.

Too lazy to grab there Links but if entered in scribd with that tile will be dispalyed.
I was very surprised to see another Swatantrya Deepika in it as well and this is the Second One I got to digitize in less than 2 months but before Makhan Lal Kokiloo ji mentioned it in September I was never aware of its existence and now I know of atleast 4 ( 2 others in possession of M. L. Kokilu and Motil Lal Pandit a photocopy – the original of Sadguru Mark’s Transcript )
And Almira 28 is our First Full Manuscript Almira undertaking.
We have so far done 43 Items chiefly Shelf 1  and can be found below:
and also at:
The Most Important Manuscript we found was a Composite Text 593 Pdf pages registered as Malini Shloka Vartika but actually containg many many Abhinavaguptan Works chiefly in Devanagari and a few folios in Sharada.

A Mantra in Tantraloka
In Anava- Upaya 5th Ahnika (Chapter ) Shloka 148 Abhinavagupta Maharaj has given a Post-Diksha Mantra which I think will be nice to share with everyone, my only resolve in reading TA. is to glean all esoteric practices and mantras and utilize them, in the former I have been rather slack and tend to skip important information but I am glad I did stumble upon a mantra and they are definitely an easier practice.
Ab. Maharaj’s praise for this Mantra is as follows:
Seven days diligent japa with tanmayata( thatness with the mantra, Oneness ) one will be see his Lakshya( Aim ) ( meditatiable something, Jayaratha )
It shines like a Summer Sun in the Practitioner’s Mind and burning blue yellow flames are perceived in the Ocean of the Heart.
In Devanagari
क्षं मं रं यं णं
In IAST
kṣaṁ maṁ raṁ yaṁ ṇaṁ
I have done a few malas already – not exactly a shakti pat experience but does have an appeal that wants me to do it.
I will love to hear any stories if any one tries it.
