Read the source note
Original text · first half of verse 2.47
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन
Krishna’s dialogue with Arjuna · Sanskrit
In this Hindu text, Krishna teaches Arjuna to act without attachment to the fruits of action, while also warning against inaction. This opening Sanskrit line is from verse 2.47; the reflection is our interpretation.
Text checked against Vedam’s Gita corpus.
Illustrative demo. These examples are prewritten, not live AI responses. Reflections and actions are our interpretation; open each source note to see the text behind them. Buddhist and Taoist sources are included here; the current app library focuses on Indian texts. To read further, explore the reader prototype (opens in a new tab).
About the app
The details, when you need them.
What’s in the app?
The iPhone app is in development, and features may change before release. The current build lets you read a verse and its source, follow a Journey through a theme, or bring a question to Maitri, Vedam’s AI companion. Threads connects questions across selected scriptures; the Library lets you read further in the texts it currently includes.
Where do the teachings come from?
Vedam began with Indian philosophy, including the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Vedas. This preview also includes the Buddhist Dhammapada and the Taoist Tao Te Ching. Each tradition has its own history and teachings. Source notes separate texts, translations, and our reflections. No religious identity or prior knowledge is required.
How does the AI work?
For Journeys, your theme and words help select stored passages through prepared material and keyword matches. AI writes explanations and reflection prompts; the source text and reference come from the selected passage. Prepared templates provide a fallback. Maitri instead uses your message and recent conversation, and does not currently return verified citations with every reply. AI can be mistaken; read critically.
What happens to my data?
This website does not submit your note; reset or reload clears it. In the in-development app, chats and journey progress are stored on the service, and relevant input goes to external AI providers. Account deletion is available in Profile. Vedam is for spiritual learning, not therapy, crisis support, or emergency care. If you may be in danger, contact local emergency services.
Can I use Vedam now?
The demo on this page is available now and uses prewritten examples. A separate reader prototype is public at veda-explorer.vercel.app; its reading backend is not yet certified, so text and availability may change. The iPhone app is in development, with no App Store link or pricing yet.
