What follows is preliminary work on a transcription of the Hindi text of 'Shri Jyotishpeethaddharaka'  - a biography of Shankaracharya Swami Brahmananda Saraswati [1870-1953].

Initially I am gradually creating a copy in 'Itrans' which, with the use of 'Itrans99' [free program available on the net], can be reformatted directly into Devanagari script! I am also working to compile a dictionary to use alongside Gurudeva's quotations. As I work on the Guru Dev Hindi-English Dictionary, I can debug the likely typos from the Itrans [beta] version.

I offer this text file J.txt in the spirit of research. Naturally, I would be interested to hear from anyone who makes any headway at translating this material.
