About परमात्मा
What this is
परमात्मा is a quiet, readable home for the names, hymns, and prayers of the Hindu tradition — ashtottara shatanamavalis (108 names), aartis, bhajans, stotras, and sahasranamas — presented in Devanagari with pronunciation and meaning, for reading, recitation, and remembrance.
On sources and accuracy
The scriptures themselves belong to a shared tradition passed down over centuries. Where a specific page draws on a particular website’s translation, transliteration, or commentary, that source is credited at the bottom of the page. If you notice an error in a name, verse, or meaning, we’d rather correct it than leave it standing — every effort has been made toward accuracy, but this is curated by hand and not infallible.
Reading the site
Each page offers a few small comforts: adjustable text size, a toggle to show or hide pronunciation, meanings tucked behind a tap, and a link to jump straight to any verse. Everything renders on the server, so pages load fast and share cleanly to social media.
Under the hood
If you’d like to know how this was built — the stack, the data, and the design decisions behind it — there’s a technical write-up at iamyajat.com/projects/paramatma.
