I am trying to convert the Taittiriya Aranyaka (chapterwise found in http://www.sanskritweb.net/yajurveda/ta-01.pdf) to word document. This is required for me to port it to Kindle Format later.

However with just the Font used Sanskrit 2003, I am unable to copy the contents to word. Please suggest any alternative means/what I am doing wrong.

    If Kindle supports Lohit Devanagari font - you can use that. Download it from Ubuntu /Debian sites. If you want to input swara markings - use Baraha or Bhasha IME. i am not sure whether Kindle supports swara markings. Also download all Devanagari fonts (in Linux variants) so that you can use whichever is suitable.

    Kindle doesn't support Devanagari fonts. I am creating A6 documents in word and then converting them into PDF.

    If you are using linux, you can use a utility called 'pdffonts'. For the file you have shared, it uses the below fonts
    pdffonts ta-01.pdf

    DBPELP+Sanskrtvps DBPEMP+Sanskrt-Bold DBPENA+Sanskrit2003 DBPEPB+Sanskrit2003

    Thanks for the same Chandrasekar M . I tried some other method in windows. I used a software fontforge in windows and opened the pdf. Then was able to download the Fonts. Even after installing the fonts, the issue remains same. I will try in ubuntu tonight. Thanks for the tip.

Father and son, went to a temple, suddenly son shouted after seeing the pillars of Lions at the entrance of the temple "Run Dad, or those Lions will eat us " Dad consoled him saying "they are just statues and wont harm us" Son replied " if those lion statues wont harm us then how could statues of God give us blessings" The father wrote in his diary... "I am still speechless on my childs answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. -- A good story which I read today. Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples.

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
