" U " - "GLOSSARIAL INDEX OF SANSKRIT, TAMIL AND OTHER TERMS"

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas:

In deference to the overwhelming requests for the release of the

"GLOSSARIAL INDEX OF SANSKRIT, TAMIL AND OTHER TERMS" and the "TIME-LINE"

included as Annexures to my book “HINDUISM REDISCOVERED”,we begin with

the"Glossary".

 

As the Glossary is rather too lengthy, it is proposed to feature it in a

series of postings in the alphabetical order, with one or two letters at a

time.

 

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

We hasten to assure you that the Glossary is neither exhaustive nor the

meanings error-free.

 

We implore your patience in going through the same and please feel free to

suggest any corrections / improvements through personal mail addressed to

"Ramanbil"

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

 

The "TIMELINE" needs a litttle reformatting. It will be releaed later, when

the reformatting is complete.

 

Neither of them was released to any lists so far.
