Welcome!

ōṃ śrī gaṇēśāya namaḥ
śrutismṛtipurāṇānām ālayaṃ karuṇālayam

In this GitHub repository, we hope to make available high-quality PDFs for printing as well as devices such as Kindle, along with tools to proofread (long-term goal!). Perhaps, it may well be possible to integrate stotrasamhita.net with this github.io page. You are also free to fork these repositories and typeset your own PDFs. This repository is also home to various projects.

Stotrasamhita.net

Stōtrasaṃhitā is a wiki of stotrams and namavalis, displayed in many Indian scripts. The great rishis and saints of bhāratadēśam have left us a treasure trove of excellent stotras. There have been many wonderful books publishing these, such as the mantrapuṣpam (from Sri Ramakrisha Mutt) and bṛhatstōtraratnākaram, to name a few. A vast majority of these stotras are in saṃskṛtam, and one needs to be able to read dēvanāgarī lipi, to be able to recite these stotras. However, with a multitude of languages and scripts in our country, many people are more comfortable with their own mother tongue. Stōtrasaṃhitā seeks to bridge this gap, by rendering these languages in multiple lipis, thanks to Translipi.

Major Books

Stotra Sangrahah

This is a massive book containing (nearly) all the stotras on the StotraSamhita website. It can be printed out in A5 format (with mirror margins, “A5-print”) or for reading on 8” tablets (A5). There is also a Kindle version of the PDF, which works perfect on 6” devices such as the Kindle Paperwhite (highly recommended!).
