Dheepam
Saffron Tamil
Dheepam is a quiet space for sacred words.
Here you’ll find Hindu stotras, mantras, and slokas, along with Tamil stothrams and devotional songs. Meanings are shared wherever needed, so chanting becomes something you understand, not just repeat.
Think of this as lighting a lamp. Small, steady, and sincere.
Read at your own pace. Chant with awareness. Let clarity and devotion grow together, one verse at a time.
