How to use this library
A short guide to browsing stotra, mantra, chalisa, and deity pages — and how dual-script reading works here.
The shelves
Rahasyam is organised like a small archive:
| Shelf | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Stotra | Hymns of praise |
| Mantra | Sacred formulas, Gayatri, bijas |
| Kavacha | Protective verses |
| Chalisa | Forty-verse daily pathas |
| Deities | Devi–devta index pages |
| Texts & reference | Guides and scripture notes |
| Practices | Patha, festivals, reading notes |
Reading a text
- Open an entry from Library or a shelf.
- Read the short introduction for context.
- Prefer Devanagari when you can; use Roman when you are learning.
- Recite aloud when appropriate — patha is the heart of this archive.
Coming features
These are planned, not all live yet:
- Side-by-side Devanagari / Roman for every verse
- Audio recitations
- Personal saved collections
- Festival calendar (tithi-aware)
- Public content API and mobile reader
Respectful use
Sacred material is shared for learning and devotion. Please do not treat mantras as casual entertainment, and honour any traditional restrictions noted in individual texts (for example, diksha-related bijas).
