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 letter 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 feel free to suggest any corrections / improvements through personal mail addressed to "Ramanbil@xxxx" 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.
