Why you can trust it
Every teaching is distilled from a corpus of public-domain books — scriptures, treatises, and commentaries. No pirated books, no scraped modern authors.
We read everything the corpus holds on a subject, then write the teaching fresh, in our own words — like a patient teacher explaining what they've spent years studying.
Every substantive claim carries a citation to the exact source text it came from. Tap any citation to see the title, author, and year behind it.
The traditional voice teaches the knowledge as the tradition understands it; the scholarly voice adds history and context. Always labeled, never blurred.
Pricing
Every subject's Small teaching is free, forever — no account needed. When a subject pulls you in, unlock its Deep and Ultra-deep teachings with a single one-time payment. No subscriptions. No renewals. Nothing billed twice, ever.
Questions
A learning library for forgotten knowledge — Veda, tantra, alchemy, astrology, numerology, mysticism, and more. Instead of handing you a pile of books, we distill each subject into a finished teaching you can read at the depth you choose: a five-minute map, a thirty-minute journey, or a full treatise.
No. Astromantra is a teaching platform, not a preaching one. We present what traditions have taught and what scholars have written, clearly sourced, so you can learn and decide for yourself. The traditional voice and the scholarly voice are kept clearly separate.
None. Every subject's Small teaching assumes you've never met the topic before — it gives you the map first. Go deeper only when you're ready, in any order you like.
Small is free for every subject, forever. Deep and Ultra-deep are unlocked with one-time payments — per subject or all-access. There are no subscriptions, no renewals, and nothing is ever billed twice. What you buy is yours.
From 5,934 public-domain texts — works whose copyrights have expired, plus the occasional India-public-domain edition. Modern copyrighted books are never scraped or copied. Every claim in every teaching carries a citation back to the specific source it came from.
The teachings are produced by a learn-and-write process: the corpus is read, reasoned across, and then written fresh in our own words — never copy-pasted, never hallucinated from thin air. Citations are baked into every teaching so you can verify each claim against its source.
Five minutes with any Small teaching will tell you whether this library is for you. The map is free — the journey is yours.
