TEXTUAL ANCHOR
Begin with a traceable source
Bhagavad Gita, Upanishadic and living Hindu traditions. The source is an anchor for study, not a claim that this modern guide is a verbatim passage or the only valid interpretation.
Check editor, publisher, date, recension, translator, rights evidence and completeness.
03
DISCERNMENT
Keep the practice humane
Use this guide without coercion, miracle claims or replacing qualified medical, legal, safeguarding or lineage guidance.

REFLECTION
A question to carry
Does this practice increase truthfulness, freedom, compassion and responsible action?
Answer with one observable example. Spiritual maturity is better tested through truthfulness, steadiness, compassion, repair and useful action than through claims of status.
