Om Shanti Mandiram

Is a non-profit charitable organization

Our first webpage omshanti was created at the University of Missouri. We have all our Flash animation files and full collection of pictures still residing there during our new website construction period. Please visit the Omshanti web site and view some comments in our guestbook. This old site (http://web.missouri.edu/~umcellislibraryoms/) was removed on April 30, 2009.

What they say.......reviews of our old site:

Om Shanti, my dear blessed friends!

So rare in the millions and billions of web presences, to find the simple lotus, in such a

state of its blossoming to capture and sustain such a blessed web site. I congratulate you

all. Swami Gianni Rama XI

This is a very illuminating website presenting extensive information on OM both from

narrative and graphic standpoints. The authors are to be complimented for their creative

insight in designing this unique website. My compliments. Om Sehgal

I just loaded FLASH and can now see the splendid graphics. This website is a journey

through the heart of OM. Kamalee (Kathy Strickland)

Dr. Murari Lal Nagar, who has the most exhaustive site in the world on OM is interested

in the photograph [of Mount Mandhata] and would like to exhibit it on his site. His site is

the most unique site on Om and spiritual matters. Dr. Vikram Pattarkine

The home page of Om Shanti is thought provoking. Very cleverly designed. Om chanting

could be a good background for this excellent piece. Ramesh Khanna, M.D.

I am impressed with the depiction of OM—it seems to capture the essence of OM very

well. Dr. & Mrs. Nagar have worked very hard to unravel the different interpretations of

OM (among various other ‘preservation’ and ‘dissemination’ projects they have undertaken)—

This is a fitting recognition of their efforts. Kudos to everyone involved in the

project. Satish Nair

Om Shanti Mandiram has assembled, organized, edited, published, and distributed

some wholesome holy literature on OM in various forms more than any other organization

in the world as of today. Our total literary output by now exceeds 12,000 pages in

45 volumes, plus 15,000 enchanting pictures and some rare chanting music.By now our total

monetary contribution exceeds $90,000!

We have done some work. However, much more still remains to be done. We are in

search of a young scholar, male or female, who would like to continue our work. We may

provide plentiful guidance and files still in need of improvements. If someone is interested in doing

work on his or her own, we will be very happy to accept all new offerings as a service to OM.

The Director of Projects is Linda Canestraight, University of Missouri. She has worked hard at supporting our cause, dissemination and preservation of Indian culture for the world via the internet. Linda traveled to India in 2003 to

provide all photodocumentation for our last book on Omkara Mandhata. She has become fully embraced by the spirit of OM and the Hindu culture.
