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 or two letters 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 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 later, when
the reformatting is complete.

Neither of them was released to any lists so far.
