The impetus to prepare electronic texts of devotional hymns came out of the interest of a dedicated group of individuals of Indian origin living in Canada who had no previous exposure to scriptures, but were keen to learn. A selected set of commonly chanted Stotraas was initially put together in Tamil and Telugu, for the benefit of this group. Nominal tutoring was provided and the project was very successful.

The scope of the compilation was subsequently enlarged to cover a broader range of Stotraas and Mantraas.

Those texts were first archived at this site in Tamil and Telugu scripts in March 1996 and the compilation has been gradually growing.

With the availability of Arun Gupta's TrueType devanaagarii font Xdvng for Windows, and Sandeep Sibal's translator package Jtrans , the Sanskrit page was added in March 1997. Itranslator with Sanskrit New and Sanskrit98 fonts is a more recent utility for preparing Devanaagarii texts and has also been used extensively in these pages.

These Roman-Devanaagarii translators use ITRANS CODED texts as input. Phonetically ordered texts in Roman Script which were prepared for translation to Devanaagarii were saved separately and archived as listed below.
