General Resources:

Sacred Text Archive ... an amazing collection of spiritual texts, all on-line, all for free.

Bible Study Tools on Crosswalk.Com... this site is my favorite bible study tool. One of the powerful tools here is the interlinear bible where you can read the familiar English version and also the original text side-by-side, and then quickly look up the original meaning of the words. Also, there are many different translations of the bible available for comparison using the parallel bible.

The Nag Hammadi Library... an excellent source for the Gnostic gospels that were found in the caves near Nag Hammadi. The book of Thomas is particularly powerful for me. In verse 113, Jesus is asked about the end of the world as we know it:

His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?" [Jesus said,] "It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it.""

Other Women's Voices... information about, and quotes from, about a hundred of the greatest women writers of all times. A marvelous resource from Dorothy Disse. The quotes from Rabi'a al-'Adawiyya and from Lalla are among my favorites.

Nag Hammadi Gospels... another source for the Gnostic gospels of Thomas, Philip and Valentine.

Sanskrit study tools:

http://members.ams.chello.nl/l.bontes/   ...  a free digital version of  the Monier-Williams dictionary with over 160,000 entries... this is really fantastic... complete with devanagari script.

http://sanskrit.gde.to/   ... lots of English translations too... Upanishads, Bhagavad-Gita, and more...

http://sanskrit.gde.to/learning_tutorial_wikner/  ... the text version shown on this web page is ho-hum quality, but the Adobe Acrobat pdf version mentioned in the first paragraph is excellent.
