Nithyanandam, 

My name is Nithya Sadashiva Priyananda and I'm from the Nithyananda Peetham Bengaluru Adheenam. My guru, Paramahamsa Nithyananda is a leading a cause to revive Hinduism. He is completely loyal to the shastra of our culture and wants to dig out and offer the world the verses written by Sadashiva himself- in specifically the Agama. 

I'm working on a project here looking for references of the 64 yoginis and rudras that Sadashiva created in the Karana Agama. First of all, I have only seen Grantha translations of Karana Agama available. If someone knows of a translation to Devanagiri or English I would love that. Second, I need some help looking for the chapters in grantha for anything on the 64 yoginis and rudras. The Himalayan Academy has a transcript of the Grantha translation here: https://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/karana-agama-grantha 

Is there anyone who could help me on this? I'm looking for guidance, direction and help. Please let me know, 

Sadahisiva Priya

Can you read the Tamil or Malayalam scripts? If you do, your easiest and best bet is to familiarise yourself with the Grantha script: it's not that difficult. And as you read more Grantha, you become better at it. Vinodh's primer is indispensable if you go this route:


If you have a small number (2-3) of specific pages you're looking at transliterating, I can help with that.

Hi Karthik and others

 

For 1 month I was in India recently and I also visited the French Institute in Pondicherry.

 

The Saiva agamas in Grantham and other lips are collected by the team under the leadership of 93 year old Sambhanda Gurukkal. I met him, he is sprightly and intellectually active. In fact that FIP’s collection of Saiva Agamas have been given the name ‘Memory of the World’ by UNESCO.

 

Acc to their website

After having published four volumes of Descriptive Catalogue of its manuscripts, IFP began a few years ago to scan its fragile collection (difficult to preserve in the South Indian climate), and to undertake the electronic cataloguing of manuscripts. This descriptive cataloguing, which represents a first analysis of the contents of the texts, requires specific skills (good knowledge of Saivasiddhanta in all its aspects, familiarity with the handwritten forms of the Grantha script), that nowadays only rare Indian scholars like those employed by the IFP possess; the texts selected in priority for the cataloguing and the scanning, are the Saiva Agama-s, i.e. the canonical texts forming the basis of Saivasiddhanta, both for its ritual and for doctrines, which are the most original in the IFP collection.

Parallel to this work of long-term cataloguing, the department of Indology critically edits and publishes, presents and translates some of the most important Saiva Agama-s: this activity of study and publication of the agamas, which has established the celebrity of the Institute in the world of indology for fifty years, by making available hitherto unpublished fundamental Saiva texts, goes on today with several critical editions in progress (Sukshmagama, in collaboration with University Paris-III,…). Descriptive cataloguing and editing of texts are the sources which will enable to reconstruct the history of Saivism in Tamil Nadu.

http://www.ifpindia.org/content/critical-edition-sukshmagama

 

http://www.ifpindia.org/content/manuscripts

 

More than 80% of saiva siddhanta manuscripts are in Sanskrit and many of them in Grantham.

 

 

 

 

Cheers

 

Vijayaraghavan
