About
Vande Mataram Library Trust
The Trust
The Vande Mataram Library is the online library of the Vande Mataram Library Trust. It keeps scanned Sanskrit and Indian books together with their text, and brings the New Catalogus Catalogorum, the Digital Corpus of Sanskrit and the Ṛgveda into one reading room that can be searched in Devanagari or in transliteration.
The recovery of the old spiritual knowledge and experience in all its splendour, depth and fullness is its first, most essential work; the flowing of this spirituality into new forms of philosophy, literature, art, science and critical knowledge is the second; an original dealing with modern problems in the light of the Indian spirit and the endeavour to formulate a greater synthesis of a spiritualised society is the third and most difficult. Its success on these three lines will be the measure of its help to the future of humanity.
VMLT is one such humble offering that aims towards the recovery of the old spiritual experience in the new modern forms.
The Trust also publishes. Its first book is the Madhyamavyāyoga of Bhāsa (मध्यमव्यायोगः), and its apps bring the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads to phones.
