The Vidyame creator standard
Context is part of the contribution.
Editorial review protects the creator’s voice while giving learners the source, tradition, method and limits needed to understand it responsibly. Read Standards & Rights →
Begin from native categories
Use relevant Indic categories before imposing external ones.
Name source and perspective
Identify the source, commentator, tradition, lineage, region, language or method.
Preserve legitimate differences
Do not present one sampradāya or personal synthesis as unanimous tradition.
Separate forms of knowledge
Distinguish traditional interpretation, evidence, scholarship, adaptation and opinion.
Be precise and accessible
Preserve Sanskrit terms where needed while helping new learners enter them.
Create for lasting use
Organize work for discovery, learning, questions, community and preservation.
Your work, your voice
