About TheHinduBook — Our Mission & Principles

Our mission

TheHinduBook is a digital sacred companion for Hindus around the world — a single trusted place for daily Panchang, temple information, scriptures, festivals, and pilgrimage planning. We believe technology should serve devotion, not distract from it.

What makes us different

Most Hindu apps are either ad-infested, inaccurate, or built by people without devotional context. We're different:

No ads, no tracking, no selling your data. Fully DPDP Act compliant.
Scholar-reviewed content. Every scripture is verified by qualified Sanskrit scholars.
Public-domain only. No AI-generated devotional content, no scraping copyrighted works.
Swiss Ephemeris Panchang. Industry-standard astronomical calculations with Lahiri ayanamsa.
Community-maintained temples. Local devotees know local temples best.

The team

Built by a small team of engineers and devotees based in Delhi, with content review by Sanskrit scholars from across India. We're not a VC-funded startup — we're a community-driven initiative that will stay free forever.

Our principles

Accuracy over speed

We'd rather launch slowly with correct content than quickly with errors. Scripture is sacred.

Respect all traditions

Sanatana Dharma has many paths. We present content from all genuine traditions without bias.

Devotion, not commerce

Yatra is lead-gen for partner operators — we take modest referral fees. Core app will always be free.

Open to feedback

Spot an error in our scripture or temple data? Our Sevak program lets you fix it. All corrections verified.

Content integrity

We're honest about where we are. Some areas have very high confidence (Hanuman Chalisa, Shiva Tandava, Lingashtakam, Rudrashtakam, 3 Suktas). Others are under ongoing scholarly review (Krishna Chalisa, Khatu Shyam, Santoshi Mata).

Festival dates are calculated for 2026-27. Panchang-based dates shift yearly and will be recomputed annually. Temple directory has 67 hand-verified major sites and 2,601 community-pending entries awaiting Sevak verification.
