The Academcy
of Sanskrit Research |
Revised site note 5/1/10: This page is left as it was originally with minor modifications to font. The links it contained are updated somewhat as listed below. The new Academy information is available from their new site which is available here. Navigation links throughout this page follow the original old pathways through the site.
The Academy, not unlike this section of Vedavid,
remains under development. They have a multitude of projects under way
which
promise generations of scholars and individuals alike an ongoing resource
of Vedic
literature, lore, learning, and life. A sample of these resources is
included here:
The slide show photos came from a stay that I spent here, in the hills
above Mysore, at the village of Melkote. Aside from temples dating back
1200 years, they have an impressive library of manuscripts (with a
wonderfully broad selection of text genres), a garden of purely Vedic
plants, livestock carefully bread to recapture the characteristics
described of early Vedic herds, peace, quiet, and powerful team of
software specialists. All these resources contue to be developed along
careful lines of Vedic tradition and practice. The expressed intent of
the Academy, apart from each specific project, is to preserve and
cultivate the living legacy of the Vedas, beyond text-recitation only, for
future generations
The Academy & its
Site
At Melkote, the Academy of
Sanskrit Research exists on ground donated in part by the government of
India. The project survives on dedication and patron support. The
grounds contain a growing cultivation of plants listed in the Veda's, some
are among the few such species in India. Down the road an effort is made
to raise lifestock strictly according to the standards in the shrutii.
 |
Several buildings are already complete, including the site of the
Director's office and computer laboratory (see below), the manuscript library (shown here), and
quarters where guests can stay. This is all set amidst
the gardens mentioned above and the scenary of the
hilltop. |
The grounds contain numerous temples, such as those shown elsewhere in
this website As well as the Academy's own web site.
Computer Research Laboratory
| In this laboratory, scholars at the center
are perfecting a number of projects utilizing existing algorithms in
PaaNinian Vyaakarana and other VedaaN^ga's to recapture the power and
majesty of ancient Indian linguistics. Several projects are partially
complete (see below), and can be investigated by
care of Dr. Tatatachar, the director. NOTE (5/1/2010): I've been unable to reach the director for sometime, if you reach him or the current director, please email me at the links below so I can update the contact info and follow up with them. Some components allow
direct analysis nominal declensions, verbal inflection, and so forth.

You can review an outline of these projects by clicking here, NOTE (5/1/2010): this was back in 1997 that this was a project .... The page contains a large GIF image of
the project outline, which would have slowed the loading of this page
too much. Some components allow
direct analysis nominal declensions, verbal inflection, and so forth.
