Disclaimer

Please read this carefully before using indiclens.com (IndicLens).

Spiritual reflection, not authority

The Bhagavad Gita is freely available for universal learning through translations, commentaries, and teachers across traditions. IndicLens uses technology to surface and explain verses in response to your questions at the moment of need. It is a contemplative aid — not a substitute for study with qualified teachers, traditional lineages, or authoritative editions and commentaries of the Gita. We encourage you to draw on those sources for a fuller engagement with the text.

AI-assisted content

Answers are produced with AI assistance from a curated verse database. While we apply guardrails and grounding rules, generated text may contain errors, oversimplification, or wording that does not match every tradition’s interpretation. Always refer to original Sanskrit, trusted translations, and recognised scholarship for definitive understanding.

Not professional advice

Nothing on IndicLens is medical, psychological, psychiatric, legal, financial, or emergency advice. The Service does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition. Do not delay or avoid professional care because of something you read here.

Responses must not be treated as personal, medical, or psychological advice. If you need mental health support, please see a licensed therapist or counsellor where you live.

Crisis and safety

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, thinking of self-harm, or in a mental health crisis, contact local emergency services or a qualified crisis helpline in your country now. IndicLens is not equipped to respond to emergencies and does not monitor messages in real time.

Personal decisions

Life choices — including relationships, work, health, and spiritual practice — are yours to make with appropriate human support. Verses on duty (dharma), detachment, and equanimity must be applied with discernment; they are not instructions to remain in harm or neglect practical help.

Comparisons and other traditions

IndicLens is scoped to the Bhagavad Gita. It does not provide comparative religion analysis or authoritative statements about other scriptures or paths.

No guarantees

We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, particular outcomes, emotional relief, or fitness of any answer for your circumstances. Use the Service with judgment and personal responsibility.
