This repository will contain all the code needed for running a "stothramala" community - a community of people interested in ancient knowledge codified as a part of the Indian vedic heritage, and the various "song-like" knowledge-snippets / moral-snippets, in general called as "stothram". The code here is for .NET-based transliteration schemes between Infian languages, bots for engaging in conversations regarding stothrams, etc.

# Stothramala - the garland of beautiful song-like verses

Ok, well this repo is not all about songs / vedic-heritage / indic languages.

This is my attempt to bring Indic-language transliteration code to the .NET platform.

And, based on this, work on adding more. Specifically, working towards a telegram bot that helps in bringing indic-knowlege on the internet in the form accessible to us on fingertips.

# The idea

The simple idea goes like this: the user of the bot is able to search for information using english / other roman scheme languages, and the bot gets the information, although the original knowledge is in an indian language.

# Use-case, and a story line

```

Ramesh: Get me a verse that starts with "Karmananye vaadhika raste..."

Bot: Oh, yes! Here it is in "devanagari":

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।

मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

Bot: Do you also want to read it in Sanskritised english (IAST)?

Ramesh: Yes!

Bot: Ok, here it is:

karmaṇyēvādhikārastē mā phalēṣu kadāchana ।

mā karmaphalahēturbhūrmā tē saṅgōstvakarmaṇi ||

Bot: Feel free to ask me the same in any other Indian language...

```
