I am posting here the email Daddy wrote to publicize his new Marathi Bible blogs in order to publiciize it further. :)
------------------------------------------------
On 22 June 2005, the 104th birth anniversary of my father, Ratnakar Hari Kelkar, and twenty years after his death, I had launched a web site www.bible-marathi.com on which his Greek-Marathi translation of the New Testament was placed in the public domain. This was a simple and an essentially static web site. For consulting just a couple of verses or reading a brief passage, an entire New Testament book had to be downloaded in pdf format. The text could not be copied easily. There was no guest-book or hit counter. The web site was hard to improve and manage. And since recently it had become very difficult even to open it.
On 22 June 2008, three years later, I decided to put the R H Kelkar Marathi New Testament on a new blog http://marathibible.wordpress
A hundred passages from the R H Kelkar Marathi New Testament have been made available here for fast access as jpeg images. You can select them individually from a list of topics given in English, or in groups like What Jesus Said, Paul’s Writings, Christian Living and so on. If you are looking for something specific, there is a search box in which you can type it in. If you wish to know what others have been reading, you can see the Top Ten Views.
For those with a more scholarly interest, the R H Kelkar Greek-Marathi Word-Book can be consulted on this site. And of course, the 27 individual books of the R H Kelkar Marathi New Testament are available here as complete pdf files for download and reading in their entirety. They are also available on a parallel site http://navakarar.wordpress.com.
What’s more, the all-new Marathi Bible site has plenty of space for your comments for which you do not have to log in. You can freely express yourselves and share your feelings with others.
