KAUAI, HAWAII, June 6, 2006: HPI is please to announce the posting of the hand-written translation of Kirana Agama, Charya, Kriya and Vidya portions, by Dr. Sabharathnam S. Pattusamy of Chennai, India. To our knowledge, this is the only English rendering of this Agama. The Vidya sections are important sources of Saivite philosophy.
We are looking for someone to type up this manuscript using the Itranslator program of Omkarananda Ashram. The Sanskrit text is included in Dr. Sabharathnam’s rendering in roman alphabet with diacritical marks, as taken from the original Grantha script. Ideally, one would type up both the Sanskrit and English. Those interested in this effort may e-mail Arumugaswami at ar@hindu.org.
