An encyclopedia of the world's wisdom

The great classics, in their own words.

Original verse, honest translation, plain explanation — no third party, no agenda. We start in India and travel the world, preserving the wisdom and passing it on.

Verse of the day

The library

One white shell, one colour per book — saffron for the Gītā, jade for the Tao. We begin with the Indian classics, then travel outward.

Why it reads differently

Every verse shows the original Sanskrit, a word-by-word meaning, more than one translation where available, a plain explanation, and — clearly labelled — commentary. We show you what the text says and where honest people read it differently, then step back. The texts are free to read.
