We are trying to bring to the Internet, an exquisite 1000-verse Sanskrit masterpiece stotra on Goddess Uma (paarvati) by the coming Vijaya DaSami (Oct 2). We need volunteers to type small portions of the stotra in ITRANS format so we can make it available to the public in devanagari script on the Sanskrit Documents website. We have already scanned the telugu book containing the kaavyam and put it online at http://surasa.net/uma Can you read Telugu script and type in ITRANS? If so, please read on. We need your help urgently because Vijaya daSami is approaching fast. bhavadiiyaH, - Sai. -------------------------------------------------------------- Here is your chance to help us put online a marvellous stotra kaavyam called 'umaa sahasram' by the foremost disciple of RamaNa maharShi, Sri vaaSiShTha gaNapati muni. He was a brilliant sanskrit poet, and a self-realized Yogi. He was also awarded the title of 'kaavya kaNTha' by the best sanskrit scholars in Banaras and Calcutta during the 1940s. Visit http://surasa.net/uma/ If you are a bhakta of the Divine Mother Parvati, here is a chance to worship Her by typing her stotra during the most auspicious time of the year - devii navaraatra vratam. Treat it as a paaraayaNa-avakaaSam. If you are a rasika of samskrita bhaaShaa saundaryam or saahitya saundaryam, here is a chance to experience kaavya rasa in exquisite Slokas full of rhythmic beauty (composed in 40 chhandas/vrittas) and numerous sanskrit ala.nkaaras. If you simply want to accrue puNya, here is the chance for shrama daanam. Please help us in typing up Uma Sahasram.
