Even a skeptic can check

This is a free educational mission, not a sermon — so everything is built to be verified. Here is exactly how it is sourced.

How we source every claim

We use three kinds of sources, and treat each differently:

1. Primary source (public domain)Public-domain primary texts — we quote these verbatim, because their copyright has expired and anyone can read the original.
2. Modern scholarshipModern reputable scholarship — we paraphrase and cite it; we never paste copyrighted text.
3. Traditional accountThe tradition's own account — always clearly labelled as such, told with respect, never presented as established history.

In short: we quote only public-domain translations, and we paraphrase modern scholarship (with a citation) rather than copying it. Each citation stores a snippet and an archived copy, so it still works if a link later breaks.

When the evidence is debated

History has genuinely contested questions. On those, we do not pick a side and hide the rest. The rishi steps to the Threshold and shows both views side by side — what scholars find, and what the tradition holds — each with its own sources to check. Neither is dressed up as settled fact, and nothing is forced into a false 50/50.

Found a mistake?

We would rather know. Reports go straight to the people who maintain the text.
