Our approach to the texts

The root texts
The original verses—whether in Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu or Marathi—are classical and out of copyright. They are presented in their native scripts, with a transliteration beside them for anyone who wants to say the words, and their wording is not altered.
The Tatpada translations
The English on Tatpada is our own, made from the root text itself and never from another translation of it. It stays close to what the original says, in the words we would use to a friend.

Our goal is simple: to help clear up doubts through Manana, support quiet absorption through Nididhyāsana, and offer a sanctuary where you can sit with the heart of the seers.
