How lectures are made

Every lecture passes through the same careful steps before it reaches you. Here is exactly how it is made.

  1. Step 1

    Texts

    A script is drafted from the original Sanskrit verses and established translations. Each verse quoted is recorded with its text name, chapter and verse reference, the translation used, and its licence.

  2. Step 2

    Scholar review

    A reviewer who did not write the script reads it for accuracy, faithfulness to the tradition and respectful tone. Scripts without citations cannot move forward. The author of a script cannot approve their own work.

  3. Step 3

    Narration

    Only after approval is the script narrated, using an AI voice, in Hindi and English. Sanskrit verses are rendered with care and shown on screen in Devanagari with transliteration.

  4. Step 4

    Final review

    The finished lecture is listened to again in full, with its captions and imagery, and checked once more against the texts. Anything that does not sound right is sent back to the beginning.

  5. Step 5

    Published

    Approved lectures are released one per day at the scheduled time, with their sources listed below the player.

Our honesty about AI

  • The narration voice is produced with AI. We say so on every lecture.
  • The teacher characters, such as Krishna, Chanakya or a sage, are artistic interpretations, not claims to speak for them.
  • The words come only from reviewed scripts. There is no free-form AI generation in what you hear.
  • We do not offer chat with deities, sages or teachers, and we never will.

Citations policy

Every verse is cited. Translations are used with permission or under an open licence, and the source is named. If you find an error, use the Report an error button on any lecture and our reviewers will look into it.
