About Geeta Reader

The Geeta Reader App provides the complete text and audio of The Bhagwad Geeta (The Song of God) in original Sanskrit as well as in Paraphrased English.

The audio chanting is performed by H.H. Swami Brahamananda of Chinmay Mission.

This English paraphrasing is by Sri Aurobindo.

The app also provides easy navigation and search tools - allows searching in English as well as in Sanskrit. Also allows sharing verses (Sanskrit, English, as well as Audio) by Text(SMS), e-mail, WhatsApp, Facebook, or other apps.
(Some apps may have issues with audio sharing - this can be disabled via preferences)

Siri support is also provided, allowing you to start playing a verse by saying something like “Play Eleventh verse of Third Chapter with GeetaReader” or “Play Third Chapter with GeetaReader”.

Further playback can be controlled from the Lock screen with Play/Pause, Previous Verse, and Next Verse controls.

About Bhagwad Geeta:

"The Bhagwad Geeta, literally 'The Song of God', is one of the most important of the spiritual and religious texts of the world, and is to Hindus what the Torah is to Jews, the Bible to Christians, and the Koran to Moslems." - Sri Aurobindo.

"When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous." - Albert Einstein
