How we verify.
Being correct is our whole purpose. Every guide goes through the same five checks.
Researched from the source texts
Each guide is prepared from the scriptures and established manuals of practice, and cites them.
Reviewed by a scholar of that tradition
Hindu guides by a pandit; Jain guides by a Jain scholar. Until that review is done, a guide is clearly marked Draft. Once signed off, it shows the reviewer's name and the review date.
Alternatives only where tradition allows
We list a substitute only when it is accepted in practice — and say clearly when an item has none.
Every family tradition respected
Rituals vary by region, community and sampradaya. Where they differ, we show the variations. Your family's practice comes first.
No fear, no superstition
We explain the meaning of each step. We will never tell you something bad will happen if you make a mistake.
