" Y " - "GLOSSARIAL INDEX OF SANSKRIT, TAMIL AND OTHER TERMS" - CONCLUDED

[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 began with

the"Glossary".

 

As the Glossary was rather too lengthy, it was featured in a series of

postings in the alphabetical order, with one or two letters at a time.

 

We CONCLUDE this series with the letter "Y" in this posting.

 

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 shortly.

 

Neither of them was released to any lists so far.
