Sri Shankaracharya Advaita Vedanta

कर्मण्येव अधिकारः न ज्ञाननिष्ठायां ते तव। तत्र च कर्म कुर्वतः मा फलेषु अधिकारः अस्तु कर्मफलतृष्णा मा भूत् कदाचन कस्याञ्चिदप्यवस्थायामित्यर्थः।

Sri Sridhara Swami Traditional (Sridhara and the Gita Press tradition)

तर्हि सर्वकर्मफलानि परमेश्वराराधनादेव भविष्यन्तीत्यभिसंधाय प्रवर्तेत किं कर्मणेत्याशङ्क्य तद्वारयन्नाह कर्मण्येवेति। ते तव तत्त्वज्ञानार्थिनः कर्मण्येवाधिकारः।

Reflection prompt (in editorial review): Which result are you holding on to today? What would it feel like to give your best effort and let it go?

Four pillars of a daily practice

Shravana श्रवण

Listening

Read each verse in Sanskrit, in the script you read best, then its meaning. Recitation audio is being added.

Kirtana कीर्तन

Chanting

Star the verses you love into your recitation deck and practise them word by word.

Sadhana साधना

Practice

One verse a day on WhatsApp, email or the web, at the time you choose, in about five minutes.

Anubhava अनुभव

Realization

A gentle reflection question, a private journal, and Satsang Circle to share what you find.

How it works

  1. Choose your time

    Pick 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and a rhythm: every day, or once a week on the day you choose. We never send more than you chose.

  2. Get one verse

    Your verse arrives at the time you set, on WhatsApp, email or the web, in the script you read best.

  3. Reflect

    Read the meaning, keep a private reflection, and come back tomorrow. Miss a day and nothing is lost.

Quality over hours, and gentle grace

Quality over hours

Quality over hours: you choose 5, 10 or 15 minutes. We never send more than you chose, and missed days are forgiven, not punished.

Gentle grace

Gentle grace: miss a day and your streak carries on. One missed day in any seven is forgiven automatically, with no reminders that scold.
