A request for help at translating to English valuable information about Junagadh and Girnar
Hello all
Over many years I have had opportunity to collate and summarize most of the significant English writings about Junagadh and Mount Girnar, as well as the English translations of works originally composed in Indian languages. Unfortunately for the outside world, including myself, there is a wealth of highly valuable written material that has not yet appeared in English. Personally, this fact makes me very sad, as I have a strong yearning to enjoy learning what this Indian literature has to offer.
I have been able to collect an extensive body of literature about Junagadh and Girnar that has not yet appeared in English. This material is primarily Gujarati, but there are also occasional works of Hindi, Sanskrit and Urdu, and the writings are either non-sectarian or based in Hindu, Jain and Muslim traditions.
I would very much like to hear from other enthusiasts who have an interest in or a love for Junagadh and Girnar, who might be able to help by converting to English small sections or larger pieces of one or other of these writings. Any small contribution would be very much valued. The topics are quite broad, so that the choice of material might better suit personal interests.
If there are people interested in looking at any of the writings, I can easily send whatever captures your attention.
A selection of the material available is listed below:
