Sriranga Digital Software Technologies takes credit for digitizing a complete Rigveda Bhashya of Sri Sayanacharya that was first published under Sri Jayachamarajendra Grantharatnamala.

Advaita Sharada

[edit]

C S Yogananda also created a digital archive of Sri Shankaracharya's works.[2] The Advaita Sharada initiative has been recognized by the Jagadgurus of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham.[3] The archive is a collection of Prasthanatraya Bhashya of Sri Shankara, his prakarana granthas and also the commentaries by later commentators of Sri Shankara. The archive can help in understanding the works of Sri Shankara in more depth since it allows a complete search of the texts. [citation needed]
