The Bhagavad Gita represents the epitome of the philosophy contained in Sanatana Dharma. In elegant Sanskrit verses, it lays out the path to self-realization. The teachings contained are as relevant and practical in todays world as they were thousands of years ago when they were revealed during the battle of Kurukshetra.

This application aims to provide a quick pocket reference and memorization-aid for the verses of the Bhagavad Gita.

- Each Sanskrit verse is provided in crisp and clear Devanagari script (as well as ISO 15919 Roman transliteration) along with the English translation. A student of Sanskrit will appreciate the English translation which strives to not only be literal but also match the word order as closely as possible to the original Sanskrit.
- Quick access to every sloka using familiar touch interactions (spinning-wheel and flick gestures)
- Favorites feature to aid in memorization
- Fully functional in offline mode as well

Pros and cons of Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit & English) app for iPhone and iPad

Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit & English) app good for

For the first time in my 42 years of life, I read this precious gem. Thanks for publishing this app, I am now encouraged to study Bhagvad Gita further.
Thank you! Ive been looking for this and now i find it! Thank very much! Its great with search and bookmark.
The text is important to anyone who has an objective foundation in God or wishes to have such. There exists a true lasting benefit from reading the Bhagavad Gita.
Its good app for people who does not understand Sanskrit or Hindi. Great work.
I enjoy reading the Gita daily on my iPhone however it no longer works with the new iOS upgrades. Please update the app so it works with the latest iOS upgrades.
Amazing app and I love that shlokas are in English along with Hindi with explanation. However, after the new upgrade this app hasnt been working. Best gita app so far! Love it! Please fix it so we can use it with new iOS upgrade.

Some bad moments

Tried it twice. Deleted it redownloaded it , even tried to open it from the App Store
Ive used this app for awhile now. It used to work fine, but now when I try to add a śloka to favorites, the whole app locks up and is totally unresponsive to touch. To get it to work again, I have to close the app and open again. It happens every time I try to add a favorite.
Just like the last reviewer I lost this great app after installing ios9.01 and 9.02. Please fix this problem .
The app downloaded fine but as soon as the app was finished downloading it I clicked on it and it does not open past the first screen it it basically opens up and then close it out by itself immediately after Ive clicked it
After updating 9.1 in my iPhone this wonderful app has stopped working. Developer pls pls look into it and fix it ASAP as yours is one of the finest bhagavat Gita apps in the App Store. A very humble request. Thank you in advance
This used to be a great resource for a while but recently I have no luck opening. The app simply crashes every time I try to open it. Im using a iPhone 6.
