Terms of Use

By accessing opensadhaka.com you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

What Sadhaka is

Sadhaka is an editorial reference platform for Sanatan Dharma — its philosophies, sacred texts, and living practices. All content is published for informational and educational purposes. Nothing on this site constitutes spiritual direction, medical advice, psychological counselling, financial guidance, or legal advice.

Not a substitute for professional advice

Descriptions of practices — meditation, japa, pranayama, fasting, dietary guidance found in traditional texts — are presented as historical and doctrinal content. They are not prescriptions. Before undertaking any physical, psychological, or spiritual practice, consult a qualified teacher, physician, or mental health professional as appropriate. Sadhaka accepts no liability for outcomes arising from following any practice described on the site.

Accuracy and completeness

We maintain rigorous editorial standards and cite primary sources inline. However, Sanatan Dharma encompasses a vast, internally diverse tradition, and no single reference can be exhaustive or final. Content reflects the understanding of our editorial team at the time of publication. We revise articles when we find errors, and we date corrections.

Sadhaka makes no warranty — express or implied — about the accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose of any content on the site.

Intellectual property

Original editorial content on Sadhaka — article text, translations, commentary, structural analysis — is copyright © Sadhaka and its contributors. You may quote brief passages with attribution and a link to the source URL. Systematic scraping, republication of full articles, or commercial use without permission is not permitted.

Canonical Sanskrit primary sources (Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and related public-domain texts) are reproduced without claim of ownership. Our translations and commentary on those texts are our own work.

User conduct

Sadhaka has no user accounts or comment system. There is no way to submit content to the site other than by contacting us directly. If you contact us — by email or via any feedback mechanism we introduce — you agree not to submit content that is defamatory, abusive, or in violation of applicable law.

External links

Sadhaka links to external sites for reference purposes. We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content of external sites. Following an external link is at your own discretion.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Sadhaka and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
