About SattvaMind

SattvaMind is a free, simple companion for a daily spiritual practice: read a Gita verse, count your jap, take a few slow breaths. It’s built so this practice is easy to carry with you — on a phone, in a browser tab, for a few quiet minutes a day.

There is no account, no paywall on the content, and nothing here tracks you across the web.

Where the content comes from

We have not written or reinterpreted the Bhagavad Gita. Getting sacred text wrong — even one misplaced diacritic — would misquote something people trust and chant from, so every verse on this site comes from a named, public source rather than from an AI model’s memory:

• Sanskrit text and verse structure — the gita/gita open dataset, dedicated to the public domain under the Unlicense.
• English translation — Swami Sivananda.
• Hindi translation — Swami Ramsukhdas (the Gita Press standard).
• Chapter names and summaries — also from the gita/gita dataset.

We only reformatted the raw text for clean display (line breaks, removing verse-number markers that are redundant on this site) — the words themselves are exactly as the translators wrote them. Nothing is paraphrased or generated. Full credit belongs to the translators and to the volunteers who built and maintain the open dataset; we are simply presenting it in a calmer reading experience.

Mantras

The jap counter’s mantra list draws on names from long-established traditions across Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and Jain practice. Where we weren’t fully confident of the correct Devanagari script for a mantra, we left it blank rather than guess — the name is still there to chant by.

Why it’s free and open about this

This wisdom doesn’t belong to us — it’s shared heritage, and the people who translated and open-sourced it made it freely available on purpose. We think the respectful thing to do with that gift is to pass it on clearly, for anyone who finds it useful, rather than present it as if it were our own writing. If anything on this site misrepresents a source, or you are a rights holder with a concern, please tell us — see Terms for contact details — and we will fix or remove it.
