FAQ
Questions from people starting out
How long, how often, which book first, and what a breathing light actually does.
Ordering and delivery
What does delivery cost and how long does it take?
Free on orders of ₹1,499 and above, otherwise a flat ₹59 anywhere in India. We pack within 1–2 business days in Hyderabad and transit runs 3–8 business days — three to five days to a metro, five to eight days further out. Door to door, plan for 4–10 business days.
How can I pay?
UPI in advance, or Cash on Delivery. Cards are not accepted — no credit card payments, no debit card payments, and no PayPal.
How do I track my order?
A tracking link is emailed and texted to you on the day of dispatch. Courier scans can lag a day, especially over a weekend.
Returns and problems
Can I return something I have changed my mind about?
Yes, within 10 days of delivery, provided it is unused and still in its original packaging with the invoice. Full conditions are on the Refund and Returns Policy page.
What if it arrives broken or does not work?
Film the unboxing, then tell us within 48 hours. We replace it or refund it in full and we pay the return shipping. To be clear about what that is: a replacement route for an item that arrived damaged or dead, not a six-month or manufacturer warranty, and we do not claim to offer one.
Starting a practice
Which book should I start with?
If you have never sat before, start with a short practical one rather than a classic — the classics read better once the habit exists. Tell us your situation and we will point at one specific title instead of a list.
What does a breathing light actually do?
It expands and dims on a fixed rhythm so you can pace your breath to something outside your head. That is all it does. Most people use it for the first few weeks and then stop needing it.
How long should I sit for?
Five to ten minutes daily beats forty minutes on a Sunday. The measure that matters is whether you came back tomorrow.
Will this help with anxiety or sleep?
We are not going to claim that. These are books and objects, not treatment, and persistent anxiety or sleeplessness is worth taking to a doctor.
Do you have a shop I can visit?
No — we are online only, with no walk-in counter. Everything is packed and dispatched from our Hyderabad, Telangana workspace, and we answer during Open daily: 10:30 AM–9:30 PM
