My gratitude for those colleagues who reacted to my request!

The problem that I have no access to modern libraries in Moscow, and some papers which I need are not available in the net.

Could someone send me pdfs of Harry Falk ("Goodies for India: literacy, orality, and Vedic culture."Sonderforschungsbereichs ‘Übergänge und Spannungsfelder zwischen Mündlichkeitund Schriftlichkeit’. Hrsg. Wolfgang Raible. Tübingen: Gunter Narr. Pp. 103-120). And Fritz Staal  (1989): "The independence of rationality from literacy." Archives Européennes de Sociologie / European Journal of Sociology 30, 301-310). As well as Staal's paper on the memorizing techniques of the Nambudiri Brahmins which involve postures and mudrās, with pictures taken by the author of the article.
