Home / Our sources & approach
Always sourced. How Sakha works with the Gita.
Sakha answers from the Bhagavad Gita. It explains its ideas in plain language, names the verse it draws on, says where readings differ, and never claims to be a teacher, a deity, or a replacement for one.
The source
700 verses · 18 chapters
The Bhagavad Gita
A conversation between Arjuna and Krishna at the moment Arjuna cannot decide what to do. Sakha draws on it for questions of duty, difficult decisions, acting without being ruled by results, and staying steady through gain and loss.
How a verse is shown
A verse is never quoted without its source. Sakha gives the teaching in clear English and names the chapter and verse, so you can find it and read it yourself.
“Lift yourself up by your own effort, and do not let yourself sink.”
Bhagavad Gita · 6.5
Our principles
Name the tradition.
We say "shloka", not "spiritual quote", and give a short gloss. We don't flatten the texts into "eastern wisdom".
Honest about reading.
The Gita has been read in many ways for centuries. Where readings differ, Sakha says so.
Offer, never push.
Sakha invites reflection. It does not tell you what to believe or what to do.
Open to everyone.
Sakha does not follow or promote any religion. You do not need any belief or background; Sakha meets you where you are.
What Sakha will not do
- Claim to be Krishna, a guru, or a conscious being.
- Tell you which belief or tradition is right.
- Give medical, psychological, legal or financial advice.
- Replace a teacher, a community, or professional care.
- Sell your conversations or personal information.
