About DHARMA

867 verses — 700 from the Bhagavad Gita and 167 from the Yoga Sutras — each with its original Sanskrit, an English translation, and traditional commentary, embedded with BAAI/bge-small-en-v1.5 and stored in PostgreSQL with pgvector.

The Bhagavad Gita offers practical wisdom on duty, devotion, and equanimity. The Yoga Sutras provide a systematic framework for consciousness and inner discipline — together forming a rich corpus for philosophical inquiry.

Your question is routed by intent. An explicit chapter/verse reference resolves directly; otherwise hybrid retrieval (pgvector + BM25 + cross-encoder reranking) finds the most relevant passages. An LLM then synthesizes a structured answer with inline citations, sourced directly from what was retrieved — not from unconstrained model knowledge.

Yes, within a session. Follow-ups like “explain more” or “what did he teach?” build on the prior answer instead of starting over.
