Software for Generating Sanskrit Documents Using Grantha Lipi

[Guest guest]

I created Sri Meenakshi Pancharatnam in grantha lipi using mudgala IME

with the grantha font that is available in IndoLipi. If you are

interested in using grantha, this software is a great resource for

you.

Mudgala IME is in alpha stage and is being developed by Ajit Krishnan

(mudgala.com). He is currently working on getting the vedic svara-s

correctly using all the available ligatures in Chandas (devanagari)

and also for Grantha. This IME supports multiple input format and very

easy to use.

If you are interested in testing this software please let me know by

personal e-mail or contact Ajit directly using the e-mail available on

his website.

(There are a lot old texts in grantha and even now smaarta and shaiva

veda paaTha shaala-s in TN use grantha. Kanchi paramachaarya shrii

shrii chandrasekharendra sarasvati often commanded tamil speaking

aastika-s to learn and use grantha [instead of using Tamil, which does

not have ligatures to represent all the sanskrit phonemes]. IMHO,

using grantha is a much better option that using Tamil with numbers or

using bold/etc. to create the necessary symbols).
