Three thousand years of wisdom — every verse available to you.

The Gita is the heart of the Mahabharata — a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna just before a great war. It covers action, duty, devotion, and who you really are, explained with rare clarity. This is the main text Krishna draws from.

The world's longest epic poem. It tells the story of the Kurukshetra war and the lives of the five Pandava brothers, and includes the Shanti Parva — the 'book of peace' — where Bhishma, lying on a bed of arrows, teaches Yudhishthira how to live and lead well.

The Bhagavatam tells the life and teachings of Krishna through stories, hymns, and reflection. It holds up devotion as the highest path, and shows who Krishna is through story after story.

The original Ramayana, written by Valmiki. It tells the story of Rama's exile, Sita being taken captive, and Hanuman's journey to find her in Lanka. One section, the Sundara Kanda, is often read on its own — for courage and devotion.

Tulsidas's much-loved retelling of the Ramayana, written in the everyday language of northern India. It's more emotional and poetic than Valmiki's version, and it's the version most Indians actually grew up hearing. It speaks about surrender, grace, and devotion.

A short hymn to the sun, taught to Rama by the sage Agastya right before his final battle with Ravana. It calls on the sun as a source of strength and courage. Brief, but considered very powerful — recited for resolve and focus.

Stories and teachings centred on Hanuman — his birth, his powers, and his complete devotion to Rama. Hanuman is the model of what total devotion looks like: real strength, used entirely in service of someone else.

Ravana's hymn to Shiva, said to have been composed while his arms lay crushed beneath Mount Kailasha. It's considered one of the most powerful devotional hymns there is — as brilliant as its writer's learning, and as honest as his surrender.

One of the most widely read texts in Buddhism — short sayings from the Buddha on how to live and find freedom from suffering. Spread across 26 chapters, it covers the mind, change, desire, and what a good life actually looks like.

The complete writings of Swami Vivekananda — his lectures across America and Europe, his letters, his poems, and his teachings on knowledge, devotion, action, and meditation. He brought Hindu philosophy to the modern world in plain, fearless language.

The teachings of Ramana Maharshi, a sage who lived at Arunachala. His core practice was simple: keep asking yourself 'Who am I?' until you find the answer directly. He taught as much through silence as through words — these texts capture what he did say.

The Arthashastra is Chanakya's detailed guide to running a kingdom — government, money, and military strategy. It's the founding text of Indian political thought. Chanakya Niti boils his ideas down into short, sharp sayings about power, people, and getting things done.
