[Update] Understanding Advaita and Sanatan Dharma Websites Migrated to New Platform

 Namaste,

Dear Divine Atman

Wishing you a very Happy Janmastami

Websites Understanding Advaita and Sanatan Dharma were developed and hosted on Google Sites Platform. Since last few years, Google Sites has developed a new website builder platform, known as New Google Sites or simply Google Sites, which is aimed to give consistent look and feel on multiple devices like Desktop, Tab and Mobile (known as responsive design or layout). Classic Sites platform is discontinued from 31-Aug2021 and all websites created on old Google Sites Platform, now called Classic Sites need to migrate to the new Website Builder Platform in order to keep the site active and available for public viewing.

The migration to the new sites is still going on. All content is transferred the the new Google Sites Platform. Both websites Understanding Advaita and Santana Dharma will remain active. The content is also available as PDF format. In addition to pdf, for Understanding Advaita website, content is available as docx and as Google Docs. For Sanatan Dharma website, content is available as Google docs document in which you can suggest any corrections via comments. What is left is to check for broken links and formatting which will be done in free time. 

As a viewer, you do not need to do anything. The URLs remain the same except that Google Sites now auto redirects to HTTPS instead of HTTP. www has to be typed in if you type in address bar to open the website. 

URLs of both website are

https://www.advaita-vedanta.in/

https://www.sanatan-dharma.in/

 

Please be sure to visit Notice page of both websites for further updates. Link can be found in sidebar and on top of each page as 'Read More' in Announcement Banner banner.

Direct Links:

• Recent Updates / Recent Activity Page
• Sitemap
• Tables
• Limited resize options of photos
• Open external link in same window
• Limited formatting of Table Of Contents (TOC)
• No option to add Text or Section heading on sidebar as sidebar is autogenerated
• and more

If you find any error or a broken link or wish to give suggestion, please email at indiaspirituality [at] gmail.com

The author hopes that the new site turns out to be more user friendly then older one.

May both websites continue to help students of Sanatan Dharma and Advaita Vedanta.
