Namaskar,
For the Indic languages, Google has recently launched 2 excellent tools.
One of them is the on screen keyboard. This also supports searching Google in Indic languages.
The other facility is online transliteration facility.
Try them at:

Namaskar, Sorry for the delay in replying. I was pleasantly surprised to see the commonality in interests! Coming to your querry: I used Baraha for typing in Devnagari. ( It is a freeware but donations are welcome. http://www.baraha.com/ It is a software developed by a group of fans of a Kannada writer.) There are of course many other alternatives but I feel in terms of ease of use, examples & help; this software is excellent. The downside is there is no Linux version & Under Firefox, you need to make some changes.

BTW Can you guide me about where to get Smullyan's books esp. "Tao is silent ?" ( I am based in India)
