Living Śāstra

The agent roster.

Each agent is bound to a specific corpus and answers only from it. The P.R. Sarkar discourse, Ayurveda, and Yoga agents are all live now.

Caraka · Suśruta

Ayurveda

The Ayurveda agent draws on the two principal classical compendia of Indian medicine: the Caraka Saṃhitā, the foundational treatise on internal medicine, and the Suśruta Saṃhitā, the foundational treatise on surgery and anatomy. It answers from the texts themselves — quoting, paraphrasing, and citing chapter and verse — rather than from generic wellness content. It is built for serious practitioners, students of Vaidya tradition, and curious householders.

P.R. Sarkar (Shrii Shrii Ānandamūrti)

An assistant for the published works of P.R. Sarkar (1921–1990), known to his disciples as Shrii Shrii Ānandamūrti. Answers strictly from a curated corpus of his discourses in English and Bengali — every factual claim returns with a verbatim citation. The agent will not roleplay him, will not prescribe spiritual practices, and will not speak in his voice; it reports what the published texts say. Built for sādhakas, scholars, and curious newcomers who want the source rather than a paraphrase.

    Trans. Various Ānanda Mārga editors, 1960s–1990

Patañjali · Vyāsa · Gītā · Vāsiṣṭha

Yoga

The Yoga agent draws on a public-domain library of yoga texts: Patañjali’s Yogasūtras (tr. Johnston), the classical commentaries of Vyāsa and Vācaspati Miśra (tr. Woods), the Advaita-yoga dialogue Yoga-Vāsiṣṭha (tr. Mitra), the Bhagavad Gītā (tr. Arnold), and the early-20th-century practical manuals of Yogi Ramacharaka. It answers from the texts themselves, citing the work and section, keeps their distinct voices separate, and refuses to invent traditions. It reports what the texts say — it does not teach practice or give health advice. Useful for teachers, practitioners, and students of the texts.

How we keep the agents honest.

Citation-strict.

Every answer cites the specific passage in the underlying text. Click a citation to read the retrieved passage with chapter and verse context. If an agent can't find supporting passages, it says so rather than guess.

Public-domain corpus only.

v1 ships only with editions clearly in the public domain — pre-1928 publications, translators long deceased. Future agents only ship once their source texts are either in the public domain or covered by a clear commercial licence.

No impersonation roleplay.

Agents do not "speak as" named teachers, gurus, or deities, and refuse prompts that ask them to. They speak from the text. See our Acceptable Use Policy.

Refuses gracefully.

When a question is outside the agent's corpus, when an answer would require invention, or when sources contradict, the agent says so. We treat refusal as a feature, not a failure.
