Hindu Lexicon Reborn on Our New Site and Tied Into Books!
January 24, 2013We are happy to announce that we have completed the migration of the Hindu Lexicon over to our new web site.
See: http://www.himalayanacademy.com/view/lexicon
It took some time... because we ported all the data to a MySQL data base and we are presenting the information through a new modern web application which will be easily re-worked for use on mobile devices. As and additional plus the lexicon is dynamically tied to our web view of books. If you are on the simple web book page format for view, for example, this page in Dancing with Siva (click) you can select a word and if it can be found in the lexicon it will be opened to it's definition. (Note that some of the unicode diacritical words will not work in this environment, but you can copy and paste then into the lexicon search and then they will.)
Feel free to report any bugs with an email to studyhall@hindu.org
We want to thank our Digital Dharma Donors as projects like this take many man hours of programming by skilled, and your donations are what enable us to move forward. Thank you!

The opening page appears as before with the list of letters. We have no entries for X, which is why you do not see that in the list. If you click a letter it may take a few moments as a lot of data is being collected and sent to you. Be patient. Searching for a single word like \"Siva\" is very fast.

Here is an example of a book page... and we have selected the word \"Goddess\".

Immediately after double clicking on the word to select it, the definition opens.
