Hindu Traditions

  • Gateway to India
    http://www.uni-giessen.de/~gk1415/india.htm
    [Resources and links, maintained by ecologically sensitive Prakash Arumugam in Giessen, Germany.]
  • Harappa Multimedia
    http://www.harappa.com/
    [Beautifully designed pages (in fact something of a visual and aural feast) that introduce the arts and cultures of India prior to 1947. Perhaps a bit too romantic for some tastes, but a resource that counters some negative stereotypes even while encouraging its own forms of nostalgia. See especially A Walk through Mohenjo Daro.]

  • Languages and Scripts of India
    http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~malaiya/scripts.html

  • Sanskrit Documents
    http://sanskrit.gde.to/
    [A source for Sanskrit-language texts, some of them directly relevant to study of Hinduism beyond the basic level. See also Sanskrit Texts and Stotras.]
