You have arrived at the Brihaspati Project's Links and Resources page.  Below you will find links to great on-line resources for understanding the culture of Hinduism.  I wish I could take credit for these sites, but alas they were all discovered on the web.

INDOLOGY: virtual e-text archive
This site contains an exhaustive index of texts in Sanskrit and other ancient Indic languages that are now available for on-line reading.  Considering how expensive books have become, a superb place to get information and access the sources of Hindu philosophy.

Indian Mythology
A general website with some basic information on Hinduism, including some of the more famous puranic and epic stories about the Gods.  A pretty nice site, but watch out for the guest book, it's not exactly appropriate viewing for those interested in a religious experience!!

SASTRA - Bhagavad Gita
The full text of the renowned Bhagavad Gita provided by the Society for Krishna Consciousness.  This text is very important to understanding modern Hindusim, but be warned, this particular society isn't accepted by many Hindus as being valid.

The Hindu Calendar - Festivals, Fasts, Anniversaries, Holidays
Interested in knowing about the ANCIENT Hindu Calendar (or at least one of them?)  This is a pretty nice site with lists of holidays, fasts, etc. and the starting dates for the lunar months.

Timepiece: The Hindu Calendar [Gods and Goddesses]
A general overview of divinity in Hindu and some nice, concise descriptions of the major gods with some pretty nice images.  If you are trying to find information on an obscure figure in Hindu mythology, this is not the place, but there is TONS of good information.

HINDUISM PAGE
A page with lots of links and information on Hinduism, including information on Tantric aspects of Indian tradition.
