+# 🕉️ ISKCON Q&A Dataset — Chaitanya Guru Wisdom Corpus
+
+## 📖 Overview
+To enhance spiritual accessibility and preserve Guru wisdom, this dataset has been curated as part of a service learning initiative focused on the teachings and Q&A sessions of the **ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness)** tradition.
+
+The dataset contains transcribed and preprocessed audio recordings of **Chaitanya Guru’s Q&A sessions**, prepared for downstream Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications such as chatbots and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Purpose
+The **primary objective** of this dataset is to:
+- Develop an intelligent **chatbot trained on ISKCON Q&A transcripts**, leveraging modern NLP and RAG architectures.
+- **Transcribe, preprocess, and organize** religious discussions into a structured corpus for efficient knowledge retrieval.
+- Enable models to **answer Hinduism-related questions** with accuracy, depth, and contextual alignment to scriptural teachings.
+- **Preserve spiritual knowledge** and make it easily accessible to devotees, learners, and researchers worldwide.
+

+
+## 📂 Dataset Structure
+Each record in the dataset typically includes:
+| Field | Description |
+|-------|--------------|
+| `question` | The original question asked to Chaitanya Guru |
+| `answer` | The corresponding spiritual response or explanation |
+| `topic` | Thematic category (e.g., Karma, Bhakti, Scriptures, Life Guidance) |
+| `source` | Audio file name or transcript ID |
+| `timestamp` | Position in the original recording |

+## ⚙️ Data Preparation
+1. **Audio Transcription:** Speech-to-text processing of recorded sessions.  
+2. **Text Cleaning:** Removal of filler words, pauses, and redundant repetitions.  
+3. **Segmentation:** Mapping each Q&A pair with timestamps.  
+4. **Metadata Tagging:** Assigning topics and references for efficient retrieval.  
+
