Verified biography
Career and lineage claims come from facts confirmed for this project. Stronger claims such as institutional endorsement are not inferred.
Trust & standards
Traditional content deserves editorial discipline.
A public standard for how biography, ritual guidance, dates, claims, photographs, sacred texts and third-party material are reviewed before publication.
Priest review
Substantive ceremony descriptions should be reviewed by Shri Venugopal Shastry before they are presented as his specific practice.
Respect variation
Pages acknowledge differences by Veda, sampradaya, family custom, region and Guru rather than declaring one universal procedure.
No invented prayoga
Do not fabricate mantra text, ritual counts, samagri quantities or priest-only procedural details simply to make a page look complete.
No guaranteed outcomes
Benefits are described as traditional intentions, prayers or devotional purposes — never as guaranteed medical, financial or material results.
Panchangam transparency
Publish location, methodology, assumptions and limitations. Automated output is reference data, not personal Muhurtham approval.
Photo rights
Publish original or properly licensed photography. Photographer watermarks remain intact unless the rights holder explicitly authorizes another use.
Sacred-text discipline
Ancient text can be public domain while modern translations, recordings, artwork and editions are copyrighted. Use original translation or proper permission.
Correction pathway
Material corrections should be welcomed, reviewed and documented. Important ritual, legal and methodology pages carry review dates.
Editorial workflow
Research → draft → priest review → publish → re-review.
Depth is valuable only when it remains accurate, humble and clear about what is universal, what varies and what requires personal guidance.
