The Concept
Setutila (सेतुतिल) aims to build a comprehensive, open-access, digital repository of Tattvavāda texts to support both traditional studies and academic research.
Key features
- Scalable architecture for storage, retrieval, and long-term preservation of texts.
- Infrastructure to enable community collaboration while maintaining one source of truth.
- Rich metadata, internal hyperlinking, and multi-format export (HTML, PDF, TeX).
- Systematic proofreading and annotation of topics and variant readings.
This is not merely digitisation. It is a critical edition reimagined for the digital medium — scholarly in depth, accessible in form, open in spirit.
Core Values
🪔 Rooted in the Source
We build foundational resources — repositories, dictionaries, and structured text databases.
📜 Quality consciousness
Every text is carefully proofread, variant readings documented, sources verified, and notes added.
🌿 Tradition Belongs to All
We don’t own this. These works belong to a living tradition. Hence everything we create is open access and copyleft.
🧠 Handmade, Mindful
Built by humans, assisted by tools. Technology supports us, but it does not replace human care, precision, and attention.
Get Involved
Setutila is not just a repository; it is a living community of seekers, scholars, and supporters. There are many ways to be part of this journey:
- Contribute Scholarship: as a researcher, proofreader, or editor.
- Volunteer Skills: in technology, design, or linguistics
- Support as a Patron: to sustain not only scholarship but a tradition of service.
