Dear Memebers of the Bahkthi group :

 

I am pleased to announce the existance of a WEB page at

 

http://www.geocities.com/~elayavalli/sva.htm

 

This Web location is dedicated to archive the works of various

Sri Vaishnava Acharyas in Digital form. I have started with some

very widely available works of Sri Manavala mamunigal and Sri

Pillailokacharya. Combined with the help of the Lord and respected

members of this group, i hope to archive as much texts as possible.

 

At this time i am concentrating on archiving the works of Sri Manavala

mamunigal and Sri Pillailokacarya. I will try to compile some of

Sri Parasara Bhattar's and Sri Periyavacan pillai's texts as well.

 

Some esteemed members of this group have had reviewd the format and

contents of this site. I thank each one of you for your effort and

i have tried to make changes according to your inputs. However,

PLEASE CHANGE THE HTTP LINK to the one above.

 

Please forward your comments and suggestions to vke.

I picked up the dEvanAgarI font ['Xdvng'] from this web, but find it is

extremely unsatisfactory. Many important diacriticals [like signs for

'i','u' long & short, E`, 'halantam'] are missing, and many letterings

unnecessary for Sanskrit/Hindi [but perhaps representing Urdu sounds]

have been introduced; quite a few of the 'samyuktAkshara' [compound

letters] keys are entirely redundant, as they can be produced with

standard diacriticals, while crucial ones like dya, dva, SrI are

missing.

 

Can somebody give me a web-site which can give a sound and scientific

dEvanAgari system please?
