Terms of Use
Last updated: 2026-06-26
By using Sadhana you agree to these terms. They are written to be readable. If anything here is unclear, email [email protected].
What Sadhana is
Sadhana is a personal-practice app built around the Bhagavad Gita. It pairs each verse with a conversational guide (the “sakha”) who helps you reflect on what the verse asks of your day. It is for daily reflection — not for crisis support, medical guidance, financial advice, legal advice, or clinical therapy.
What Sadhana is not
- Not a medical or mental-health service. If you are in crisis, please reach out to a crisis line. The app shows one on every screen.
- Not personalized professional advice. The sakha will refuse questions that seek medical, financial, legal, or therapeutic guidance, and will redirect to the verse instead.
- Not a place for political or sectarian debate. The sakha refuses to adjudicate sectarian disputes between Hindu traditions and refuses to engage with politically charged framings of Hindu identity.
Your account
You sign in with a magic link to your email. You are responsible for the security of the email account that receives that link. We do not use passwords.
You may delete your account at any time from /profile → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
What you can do
- Use Sadhana for your own personal reflection.
- Share screenshots or share-cards from the app on social media if you wish.
What you cannot do
- Use Sadhana to harass, harm, or impersonate another person.
- Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract bulk data from the app.
- Misuse the AI to generate content that violates the upstream providers’ policies (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) — this includes generating illegal content, content sexualizing minors, or content designed to harass.
If we detect misuse, we may suspend or terminate your account without notice.
The sakha can be wrong
The sakha is an AI. It is grounded in the Gita and tuned carefully, but it can occasionally misread a verse, hallucinate a detail, or land the wrong emotional register. You are the final interpreter of what the verse means for your life — Sadhana is a companion, not an authority.
If a response doesn’t sit right with you, please email [email protected] or use the “this doesn’t sit right” flag (coming soon).
Subscriptions
The free tier permits up to 20 messages per day. The Plus tier (when introduced) will permit up to 50 messages per day and unlock additional features such as PDF export of Your Gita. Pricing and exact terms of subscription will be presented to you at the moment you subscribe.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Sadhana is provided “as is” without warranty. The founder is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms in a way that affects your rights, we will tell you in the app the next time you open it. The “Last updated” date at the top of this document reflects the most recent change.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India.
