Advaita Sharada Project at http://advaitasharada.sringeri.net/, "The goal of the Advaita Sharada project is to make available our ancient Shastric texts (in particular Vedantic texts) for access via the Internet and other computer-based devices like tablets and smartphones. Leveraging audio, video, commentaries, sub-commentaries, notes, tags and hyperlinks, we hope to provide a platform for in-depth research and additional learning for seekers, scholars and students." As a start, the project has compiled Shankara Prasthanatraya Bhashya, श्रीमत्परमहंसपरिव्राजकाचार्यस्य श्रीगोविन्दभगवत्पूज्यपादशिष्यस्य श्रीमच्छङ्करभगवतः प्रस्थानत्रयभाष्यम् ब्रह्मसूत्रभाष्यम्, श्रीमद्भगवद्गीताभाष्यम्, उपनिषद्भाष्याणि (10 common) in Unicode format for online viewing in XML markup scheme and the technology framework for the Internet edition. A sign-up/registering is needed for access to the texts. A word search of the text is activated with anveShaNaM.
