Sumvid Ghanam संविद् घनम्
Ask any question on Vedic and Sanātana topics. It goes to the scholars of that subject, and their answer, in text, audio, video and diagrams, becomes a page anyone can read and cite.
Sumvid Ghanam runs as its own app. This is its home inside SHABDA. A project of Swadharma, led by Dr. Vamśīkṛṣṇa Ghanapāṭhī.

How a question becomes a page
From one question to an answer everyone can use
- Ask. Type your question. Sumvid first shows topics already compiled, so you may find the answer at once.
- Routed to scholars. A new question goes to the scholar group for that subject: Veda, Upaniṣad, Purāṇa, Darśana, Śāstra or Itihāsa.
- Answered. Scholars answer in text, with audio, video and diagrams where they help. Talks already on VKG's YouTube channels are linked.
- Published. The answer becomes a page that credits every scholar who answered and every video it draws on.

Scholarly consultancy
Need a scholar's ruling, not just an answer?
Institutions, researchers and families will be able to consult the Sumvid Ghanam scholars on a text, a ritual question or a research topic. Consultancy is being set up in the Sumvid Ghanam app; until then, ask your question there.
