Some texts need to be transliterated for including in our publications, some for quick reference in editing and verifying translations, and some for research and archival purposes.
Much of what's transliterated will also become openly available.
Md tasks
• Transliterating Bengali or Devanagari texts
Assistance
Yes, we could certainly use some!
Please also see the GGM and Padavali entries for more avenues for transliteration.
Translation and editing, as well as the editing of old translations of Babaji Maharaja's works, is gaining new momentum. There is a new aspect to our publishing work that deserves a mention, in that we could use some help.
In ensuring the integrity of all these precious works, I would like to see all our working files contain one paragraph of transliterated Bangla followed by the English translation, something that'd allow for easy checking of integrity against the original. We need to have all of Babaji Maharaja's books keyed in.
I am doing this as I proceed with Bhakti-tattva-vijnana, I transliterate a paragraph and then translate the same. I find it an invaluable aid for many reasons, not the least due to my being able to move my eyes over and locate things in transliterated Bengali a whole lot faster than in Bengali script.
Everyone interested in transliterating these wonderful works of theology and rasa should kindly express their interest and get in touch with me.

I'll be happy to help you out with the above. You can even partake in this as a matter of learning Bengali script, ask for a lower priority transliteration task and take your time with it.
Transliterating whichever books you are inspired to transliterate. There are some specific titles I'm working on I could use e-texts for, please contact and ask for more details if you're interested.
