The Scripture Library
Three thousand years of wisdom — every verse available to you.
The Collection
Every response in Shastras is grounded in actual scripture. When you speak with a teacher, they draw from the specific texts they lived — the Gita, the Ramayana, the Dhammapada, the Complete Works of Vivekananda.
All texts are public-domain translations. No copyrighted material is used. The collection spans over 1,000 curated passages, each embedded and indexed for semantic retrieval.

From the Mahabharata
The Gita is the heart of the Mahabharata — a dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna on the eve of the Kurukshetra war. It addresses karma, dharma, devotion, knowledge, and the nature of the self with unmatched philosophical clarity. The foundational text for Krishna.
The world's longest epic poem, containing the Kurukshetra war, the lives of the Pandavas, and the Shanti Parva — the great book of peace in which Bhishma, lying on a bed of arrows, teaches Yudhishthira the principles of dharma, statecraft, and right living.
The Bhagavatam narrates the life and teachings of Krishna through stories, hymns, and philosophical discourse. It emphasises devotion (bhakti) as the highest path and illuminates Krishna's divine nature through episode and metaphor.
From the Ramayana
The original Ramayana composed by Valmiki — the story of Rama's exile, Sita's abduction, and Hanuman's crossing to Lanka. The Sundara Kanda, the book of beauty, is considered the most auspicious section and is recited for courage and devotion.
Tulsidas's beloved retelling of the Ramayana in the vernacular of northern India. More devotional and lyrical than Valmiki, it is the Ramayana most Indians know by heart. It speaks of surrender, grace, and the love between Rama and his devotees.
The solar hymn taught to Rama by the sage Agastya immediately before the final battle with Ravana. An invocation of the sun as the source of all strength, courage, and victory. Brief but immensely powerful — recited for resolve and clarity of purpose.
Passages centred on Hanuman — his birth, his powers, his absolute devotion to Rama, and the teachings drawn from his life. Hanuman represents the perfect devotee: strength placed entirely in service of the divine.
Buddhist Tradition
One of the most widely read texts in all of Buddhism — a collection of the Buddha's sayings on the path to liberation. Organised into 26 chapters, it addresses mind, impermanence, suffering, desire, the middle way, and the nature of a life well lived.
Modern Teachers
The complete collected works of Swami Vivekananda — his lectures in America and Europe, his letters, his poems, and his teachings on Jnana, Bhakti, Karma, and Raja Yoga. Vivekananda brought the Vedanta tradition to the modern world with fearless clarity.
The teachings of the sage of Arunachala — principally his practice of Self-enquiry (atma-vichara), the direct investigation of the question 'Who am I?' Ramana taught through silence as much as words; these texts preserve his spoken and written responses.
The Arthashastra is Chanakya's comprehensive manual on governance, economics, and military strategy — the foundational text of Indian political thought. Chanakya Niti distills his maxims on power, people, and the pragmatic conduct of a strategic life.
