Every verse. Every chapter. Free.
Free means free
Most scripture apps ask for something eventually. An ad between verses, a subscription prompt around chapter three, the commentary that turns out to be the paid one.
Ved Vyas Foundation runs this as a non-profit and funds it directly. There is nothing to upgrade to and nothing being sold.

Everything the app does
Every verse explained
Sanskrit, transliteration, word-by-word meanings, translation and commentary by Swami Mukundananda, used with his permission.
Seven complete languages
English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Odia or Spanish. Switching changes the scripture itself, not only the menus.
Sanskrit verse audio
Hear the recitation of any verse, or open the listening screen when you would rather only listen.
Full offline reading
All 18 chapters work with no connection. Audio, Gita GPT and the daily verse need internet.
Notes and progress
Bookmark verses, highlight passages, keep your own notes. The app remembers where you stopped.
Built for daily reading
A verse of the day on your home screen or as a notification, plus dark mode and text you can size the way you like.
Ask in your own words
Gita GPT answers from the Bhagavad Gita and shows you the verses behind the answer. We were among the first to build an AI trained on the Gita.
It is a study aid rather than a replacement for reading. The verses are still the point.
- What does the Gita say about making a difficult choice?
- How should I think about success and failure?
- What does Krishna teach about doing my duty?
