Listen to Sadhu
Listen to Sadhu exposes a searchable corpus of Vedic scripture and recorded lectures. Look up verses by reference (e.g. "BG 2.13", "SB 5.5.3", "CC Madhya 8.128") with original Devanagari/Bengali, IAST transliteration and translations; read commentaries, prose chapters and letters; and search transcribed talks with semantic + lexical retrieval. Inline audio/video players let you hear a lecture passage or watch a clip. Read-only, no auth, no writes.

Tools · 18
author_listList all authors.
author_resolveFind a author by name (fuzzy).
document_getGet a document (commentary/prose\_chapter/letter) by id.
document_listList documents at a reference / in a book. A verse's purport = document\_list(source, tokens, kind:"commentary").
excerpt_prepareGenerate (or fetch, if cached) the audio clip for a lecture passage and return its playable URL. This is the excerpt player's Play action — it is called for you by the player UI on demand. Agents should use lecture\_excerpt to show the player, not call this directly. Idempotent: same track+window returns the same cached clip.
lecture_excerptLet the user HEAR a lecture passage inline. Call this when the user wants to LISTEN to a specific moment in a track — e.g. from a search(types:\["track"]) hit, pass its track\_id plus start\_ms/end\_ms. Renders an inline audio player that generates the clip on demand (public share-audio, max 10 minutes).
location_listList all locations.
location_resolveFind a location by name (fuzzy).
media_getShow/play an existing corpus VIDEO clip inline. Call this when the user wants to WATCH a clip found via search(types:\["media"]) — pass the hit's media\_id. Renders an inline video player.
searchSemantic + lexical search over the corpus. Returns verses, documents, track passages and titles matching a natural-language query, each with the id needed to fetch the full record (verse\_id→verse\_get, document\_id→document\_get, track\_id+start\_ms/end\_ms→transcript\_window; media\_id→media\_get to play the clip). Every filter is optional. Use min\_score to drop weak matches.
source_getGet one book by id or code ("source\_…" or "BG"/"БГ").
source_listList all books (Caitanya-caritāmṛta is three sources).
source_resolveFind a book by name (fuzzy): "gita", "бхагаватам", "CC Madhya".
track_getGet a track (lecture/conversation): metadata, cited references, transcript/pdf availability.
track_listList tracks, filterable by reference (source\[+tokens] = tracks citing it), author/location/kind/date/lang. No filter ⇒ recent tracks (date desc).
transcript_windowRead a track's transcript around a time window (from a search track hit or track\_list). Widen with pad\_ms.
verse_getGet a verse: original (Devanagari/Bengali) + stored IAST transliteration + translation. Address by ref ("BG 2.13"), source+tokens, or verse id.
verse_listList the verses of a book / chapter. Skips .0 chapter summaries; collapses merged verses into one item with a covers span.
