India/Bharat Republic day
January 26, 2024.
Welcome to Kasarabada.org.
Jan 26 is the Republic day of India celebrated all over India reminding ourselves of the greatness of our country. Currently India seems to be swept up in a great religious fervor all over the country. Hopefully this fervor ennobles all religious people of all religions, resulting in universal peace.
This week also marks an important step for us. This week we are uploading Slokas of Valmiki Sundarakanda Sarga 67 , along with the word meanings and commentary in English and Telugu .
In addition we are also uploading Slokas of the last Sarga of Valmiki Sundarakanda namely Sarga 68 , along with the word meanings and commentary in English and Telugu.
This heralds the completion of the task of elaborating on the word meanings of all the Slokas in the sixty eight Sargas of Valmiki Sundarakanda. Sundarakanda related activity has been going for nearly ten years as a Kasarabada Sundarakanda Project ( elaborated elsewhere on this page).
The concluding process will be in the form of releasing e-Books which will be about book of Slokas ( in multiple languages), book of Slokas with summary meanings in English and Telugu in the traditional form, and books with word meanings and commentary in Telugu and English, with the usual twist of Sloka text in multiple languages Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada, Gujarati etc.
The first of these eBooks is Slokas of Sankshipta Sundarakanda inTelugu, which were originally published in the form of a book in 1998. The extensive study of Sundarakanda meant that there are Slokas which were commented upon extensively which were not in the original Sankshipta Sundarakanda. We undertook the activity of adding a few more Slokas while maintaining continuity in the flow of narration. The revised Sankshipta Sundarakanda now has 324 Slokas of the original Valmiki Sundarakanda.
This week the first set of e- Books of Sankshipta Sundarakanda Slokas in Telugu and Devanagari are made availabe for downloads.
Happy reading
