The meaning of Tattvaतत्त्व
The essence.
The underlying reality.
Wisdom doesn’t end
where questioning begins.
Somewhere between a ritual you grew up with and a decision you’re facing now, there’s a question worth asking.
Tattva brings ancient texts, historical context and modern evidence into one considered view. Without asking you to leave your judgment at the door.
A thought, followed through
Let’s begin
with a question.
Not every question needs an instant answer.
Sometimes it needs a better way of looking.

Scriptural & historical roots
Begin with what the text actually says.
Charaka’s rainy-season regimen describes weakened Jatharagni and Vata aggravation. But Sutra Sthana 6.38 also includes meat broth. The passage does not establish a universal monsoon meat ban.
Traditional concepts, read in their historical context.

Different worlds.
Still in conversation.
Read across civilizations without flattening their differences. A parallel is an invitation to think—not a claim that every tradition says the same thing.

Closer to home.
Tattva’s core retrieves, calculates and compiles context on your own device. Your questions don’t need a round trip to someone else’s cloud.

Yours by design.
Different claims. Different kinds of evidence.
Biology, history, philosophy and symbolism have distinct labels. A belief doesn’t become a scientific fact by appearing beside one.
The sky is calculated. Not improvised.
Lahiri sidereal context is computed deterministically. Approximate fallbacks are marked; symbolic interpretations stay separate from causal claims.
Neural search needs a locally provisioned model. Nothing is downloaded behind your back.
Before you begin
Good questions
are welcome.
Does Tattva need the internet?
The engine runs offline after dependencies, corpus and any chosen model are installed. It never downloads a model at runtime. This website’s explorer is a curated demonstration, separate from your local daemon.
Is traditional knowledge treated as scientific proof?
No. Sources carry explicit evidence categories. Historical theories, philosophy and symbolism retain their context. A citation tells you where a claim appears; it does not, by itself, establish that the claim is scientifically true.
Can I bring my own language model?
Yes. The core compiles a prompt, JSON Schema and GBNF for compatible local inference tools such as Ollama and llama.cpp. You supply the model. Generated output still needs citation validation and review.
What does the astronomical context mean?
Tattva calculates Lahiri sidereal positions, lunar mansions and tithi. Personal Vimshottari Dasha needs birth time. Orbital fallback output is approximate. These calculations do not establish planetary causes for health, personality or events.
