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 began with the"Glossary".
As the Glossary was rather too lengthy, it was featured in a series of postings in the alphabetical order, with one or two letters at a time.
We CONCLUDE this series with the letter "Y" in this posting. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERWe 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 please 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 shortly.
Neither of them was released to any lists so far.
