These are Vedānta texts plus a method for learning the Sanskrit language via the Bhagavad Gītā. The texts are in their original Sanskrit. They are for your studies and may be freely distributed. These are text based documents in a Devanāgarī font that can be copy pasted from the browser, or saved-as into a text file. View online to see what the download version would look like.

Download for Offline Viewing
NOTE: This works for mature Operating Systems like Windows and macOS, others such as Android (as of 2024) will not work!
Below are the links for downloading zipped files which contain all the documents. Once downloaded, they may be unpacked to run locally on your computer, Mac or PC. Due to the nature of running html files locally using JQuery controls, other devices, such as Android, etc., are likely either incompatible or require expert installation tricks.
These contain the Advaita Vedānta Texts and Sanskrit Grammar and Dictionaries in their original Sanskrit. The lovely and complete Siddhanta Devanagari font is also included in the Core Documents in a font folder. These Vedānta texts are still a work in process as there will be more texts added and some that will need further work and corrections. These offerings are for your studies and may be freely distributed. I have applied the Creative Commons International License to these texts under Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0. This license states the terms for copying, modifying, and distributing of these texts here.
Select this All-In-One ZIP and download it into a directory folder just for this application. For updating, download in the same folder you used before. Unpack (unzip) it into this location, replacing any previous application files. Once unpacked, select either AKA-Index.htm or _Start.htm and run in (drag into) your favorite browser. Bookmark it in your browser to quickly restart later.
Also, from time to time, some Browsers display these large .html files faster than others. Currently (2022) Firefox is the fastest, while Chrome was previously the fastest; but even Edge is starting to overtake Chrome - who'd have thunk! In the last couple of years, since 2023, for some reason the online version loads faster than the local run version, of course depending on the speed of your internet.

Get Font
Most devices have a system font that can display Devanāgarī characters. However, some devices may not have such a font, or the font is missing some characters or are poorly formed. This is especially true for the Vedic accent characters used in some of these documents.
Because of this, the Siddhanta font is provided in the download under a "font" folder. Just find it and double-click it and it should install. This only works on devices that allow new fonts such as a PC or Mac.
If you cannot find the "font" folder, then the link to the font (Siddhanta.ttf) from the author is below.
In case the above address changes in the future, you may download the free font from Upasana Yoga below.
Get Devanāgarī Typing System
There are many systems to help type Devanāgarī font on a computer. The two tools I use are a keyboarding platform by Keyman and a keyboard mapper (from transliteration to Devanāgarī) by Heidelberg. The Heidelberg approach most closely matches IAST, the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration. The links are here. They both work together and are currently free and open source.
