We inherit a rich culture from our ancestors wether we belong to Rome,America,Greek Egypt or which ever the place on the
Earth, We have a responsibility to preserve our rich global culture and heritage which is diversified yes has many things in common.To preserve the great scholastic works since time immemorial to present day a website i.e
www.sacred-texts has taken onerous responsibility.
After going through this, I felt that this is one which should be introduced to one and all ,so that more people get aware of the site and also see the need for preserving and protecting the heritage of ancient wisdom.Now talking about this website , you name a sacred text in the universe , I can say it is present in all possibilities in this site, for eg: Vedas in original sanskrit published in Devanagari script,English and the
translation of these great works by eminent European scholars of early 19th century.,Upanishads original texts and translation by none other than Maxmuller,works of great revolutionary poet belonging to telugu,Yogi Vemana, which ran to thousands of poems writen in exelent style ,touching most of the things ,pertaining to the material world,and also mystic world,poems of great social value with the help of which he fought against orthodoxy prevailing in Hindu society that time.These great collections of Vemana was done by Sir C.P.Brown.Somany Hindu texts from Vedas to works of Vemana are preserved in the site as online texts in this site.
Not only this ,you can find the sacred texts The Bible and its versions , improvised versions from remote past to present day.These Bible texts are available in original Hebrew language and also in
different flavours of Hebrew language,latine, English etc.The Holy Quran in original arabic language and its translation in English.Homr's Illiad and odyssey.Zendavestha of persia,Budhists works,Books of Africa,Asia Europe Australia and allmost all the parts of world.The site also includes books on Tantra, Alchemyetc.
It gives a great treatise on eminent poets of yester years like Kalidasa ,considered as The Shakespeare of India. His monumental works like Raghuvamsa,Megha doota,Abhignana Sakuntalam ,Kumara Sambhavam etc are all translated by great scholars.Also included works of Shakespeare the great dramatist of world.A study on Rigveda was also included which is an interesting for the students of Religious philosophy and the people who research on the evolution of Languages.This commentary on Vedas brings a comparision of different works of the world like Avestha and discusses on the probable date of Vedic culture.
A translation of Kama sutra ,an excelent work on erotic science otherwise called sacred sex science discusses on the nature of sex,different psychologies of people while in sex ,what is must ,what is taboo in sex and different forms of enjoyment as they were practised in different countries those days is a great work for all those interested.
The works on alchemy,mysticism etc are all really worth reading.As per my knowledge this is an impossible task for any Humanbeing to collect this many sacred texts in his life time.So one should appreciate the great scholastic ,studious,laborious,stupendous work that has gone behind collecting these works and puting them on Internet archives.The site requests all the viewers of the site to help keep all these texts online at free of cost by contributing a little for the noble cause.A CD ROM of all these collected works is available with the site owners at a very economical price.One can say that this great work is priceless.You can not calculate and decide the price for this scholastic work.still the price is within the reach of many of us. It is 49.95 Dollars .Also most of these books are available with Amazon.com.Hope you find this article has given an interesting review of the site.
