Ask in your own words, find the paragraph you need

Search understands what you're asking. Ask "Why does anxiety rise before a decision?" and find the passage that speaks to it. The whole passage opens, not just a single line.

The source sits beside every answer. You can see where each line comes from. Nothing needs to be taken on trust.

Ask the advisor about any passage you don't understand, right beside the text, without opening another page. It will explain the passage in plain words.

Meaning first, the original term in brackets

Meaning first, the term in brackets. The Russian sentence carries the meaning; the original term sits beside it for anyone who wants to learn it. A word-for-word rendering can sound scholarly while saying nothing.

A gap in the source stays a gap here. Filling it with a plausible guess is the worst thing we could do to an old text, so we don't.

One text, always in full

Some readers want the original spelling with precise diacritics; others want everyday language. One switch in settings changes between them. Both versions are complete, with nothing cut out.

Books now in preparation

Kalanath D'Aysén translates traditional texts of the living tradition of Kashmir Shaivism himself, working from the originals. Separate editions are now in preparation. When they're ready, you'll be able to read them here in the knowledge base.

Practices from the Ancient Tantras is a different book, already alive inside the app: 108 pages open one page at a time, only through days of practice. It lives on the Path of 64 Goddesses.

Who this is for

For anyone who wants to understand the foundations: you can ask the advisor about a subject and its sources. And for anyone just starting: the five introductions need no prior knowledge.
