About Divya Call
Divya Call के बारे में
Hindu mythology, told with reverence. AI voice. Source-cited.
Last updated: 10 May 2026
What we are
Divya Call is an AI-powered storytelling and satsang companion that brings Hindu mythology to life
through AI-narrated voice. Every story you hear — Krishna's friendship with Sudama, Arjuna's surrender
to Krishna on the Kurukshetra battlefield, Prahlad's faith in the face of his father's wrath, Ravana's
nine-headed hubris — is grounded in canonical scripture, retold for the modern listener in Hindi and
English.
The voice you hear is generated by AI. The stories themselves are not invented. They
are paraphrased from scripture passages our team has cross-referenced against multiple translations.
We treat the source texts as primary; the AI is only the medium.
Source texts we cite
Every narration draws from one or more of these primary works:
- The Mahabharata Critical Edition (Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, 1971); supplemented by Bibek Debroy's complete English translation (Penguin, 2015).
- The Bhagavad Gita Sanskrit text with Adi Shankaracharya's commentary; cross-referenced with Eknath Easwaran's English rendering (Nilgiri Press).
- The Ramayana Valmiki Ramayana, Gita Press Gorakhpur edition; Ralph Griffith's verse translation (1870-1874) for English passages.
- Bhagavata Purana (Srimad Bhagavatam) For Krishna Leela episodes (Sudama, Putana, Govardhana). Gita Press edition; A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami's commentary used as a secondary lens.
- Shiva Purana For Mahadev narrations (Daksha Yajna, Markandeya, Ravana's devotion). Motilal Banarsidass critical edition.
- Vishnu Purana & Skanda Purana Reference works for genealogy, supporting narratives, and devotional context.
How a Divya Call story is made
- Source pull. An editor identifies the canonical chapter/verse a story is drawn from and pulls the original Sanskrit (or Devanagari) passage.
- Faithful retelling. A persona prompt — designed to never break the deity's voice, never invent doctrinal claims, and stay age-appropriate — guides Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 4 to retell the passage in story form.
- Cultural review. The generated text is reviewed against the source for theological consistency, name-form correctness (Devanagari spelling, sandhi rules), and tone before audio is rendered.
- Voice synthesis. ElevenLabs voice models render the narration. We pick voices matched to each deity's traditional gravitas (deeper, slower for Mahadev; warmer, friendlier for Sri Krishna).
- Audio review. The rendered audio is sampled before being marked approved. Flagged renders (mispronunciation, off-tone) are re-rendered.
Important boundary. Divya Call is a contemplative companion — not a substitute
for a living guru, a temple visit, or scriptural study with a qualified scholar. We are clear about
this in the pre-call disclaimer that every listener sees and accepts before the first audio plays.
Who we are
Divya Call is built by a small Bangalore-based team. The product is led by
Gautam Kumar (NIT Warangal, software engineer; reachable at
hello@divyacall.com) with editorial guidance on scriptural
accuracy from independent reviewers. We are not affiliated with any temple, religious organisation, or
philosophical school.
Our editorial line is to honour the traditions we draw from while making them accessible to children
and to listeners who never had a grandparent to tell these stories aloud. We err on the side of
gentleness — even villains in our retellings are framed with the dignity Vyasa and Valmiki gave them,
not as cartoons.
What this site is not
- Not a replacement for puja, sadhana, or guru. We are a media app. The lived
spiritual practice belongs to you and your tradition.
- Not a doctrinal authority. Where scriptures disagree (and they sometimes do —
different Puranas tell the same story differently), we follow the most widely accepted version
and flag alternatives only when relevant.
- Not a children's entertainment platform. Our stories are for kids in spirit, but
we treat them as full participants in the wisdom — we don't dumb down the moral.
