E- Library of ancient Manuscripts

AHMEDABAD: If an elephant, lion, goddess Lakshmi or a rose garland appears in your dreams, it is an auspicious sign, says Swapna Pradipt, a 1,000-year-old treatise on interpretation of dreams. It adds that early morning dreams are more likely to fructify. Now, Swapna Pradipt and 2,000 other such rarest of rare manuscripts and books in Ahmedabad's Lalbhai Dalpatbhai Institute of Indology, dating back around 1,200 years, are available in a digitized format. Former President Abdul Kalam will dedicate this e-library running into five lakh pages to the nation on November 11. The massive project which involved digitizing ancient books on religion, language, culture, history, maths, astrology and astronomy took three years and cost Rs 40 lakh.
