It has become daily necessity for me, as I consistently utilize it to share stories with my children. Considering their tender age, they have developed a special fondness for the Panchatantra stories. Moreover, they are currently engrossed in learning the Hanuman Chalisa. I've noticed a continuous influx of new content being added to the app. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Sriram garu and the team for their passion and dedication in digitally preserving and passing on this incredibly valuable information to the forthcoming generations. ### 5/5 — Please add more Sanskrit Content *2023-08-23, version 5.50* I have subscribed to this app just for reading Samskritam.

The meaning is a bonus for each shloka. Stories are my favorite! Kids can relate as each chapter with a present situation example is shared. I love to play the audio to listen to stories of Mahabharata. The way it’s narrated, is so enticing. I am thankful for this modern day app to help kids understand our religion & chant shlokas **Developer response:** Great to hear that you are liking the 3 minute Gita and the Mahabharata sections in the Gurukula App. In addition to the content, Gurukula also conducts Gita courses and Mahabharata courses for kids and adults. You can learn more about it from learn.gurukula.com ### 5/5 — Excellent app for kids to learn about Hindu Scriptures *2023-01-27* I would like to start with a humble thanks to Sriram garu for developing such an excellent app for kids. The thought behind educating kids with Hindu scriptures and understanding our history is extremely valuable. His effort shows up very clearly in the quality of comics and summarized version of the stories. My daughter used this app while attending Mahabharata class and I can’t remember a time when I was looking away as it kept me excited and glued equally. It reminds me of Amar Chitra Katha that had a similar influence on me in my childhood. I wish for Sriram garu and team to come up with more content like vedas for kids in future which will keep our Sanatana Dharma going forward to future generations too. I would recommend it as a must app for kids who would be interested in learning about Hinduism. **Developer response:** dhanyavAdaH Abhi Ji for the detailed and kind review. Gurukula has over 15,000 images and 500 comics and we are consantly adding more. We are constantly adding more Shlokas and stories to benefit generations to come. ### 5/5 — Nice Story telling *2023-01-27, version 5.31* Captivating content will illustrations for kids. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2023-01-27, version 5.31* Excellent for kids !

My kid also attends the interactive sessions that are offered by them. He loves the teachers, they are very kind, patient and friendly with the kids. Happy to have come across Gurukula. **Developer response:** dhanyavAdaH for the kind review Rashmi ji. Loved having your child in the Mahabharata course.

My son was just 8 years old when we started, and I wasn’t sure if he would be able to learn it—but to my surprise, he picked it up with such ease and genuine interest. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who initiated this and to all those who dedicated their time and energy to give back to the community. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Great content for kids *2025-04-21, version 6.6* Sriram & team had done a really great job in making the content kids friendly and fun filled. ### 5/5 — Pure Gem *2025-04-17, version 6.6* We enrolled our 8 year old for Shloka chanting class and loved the experience. My little one always enjoyed recitation and her diction improved beautifully under the Guidance of learned Charu Acharya. She has asked for more and we would involve ourselves further as and when her schedule allows. Thank you team Gurukul for helping revive families, our lost heritage one shloka at a time. ### 5/5 — Yashashree *2025-04-11, version 6.6* Exactly what I was looking for kids to learn and stay connected to our culture. Me and my kids enjoy and love to learn about different aspects of Sanskrit sholka and do the quizzes on this app. It allows to learn correct pronunciation of sholka and the story and its significance. Other stories about ganesha, maruti are also great. Would love to have ram raksha to learn on this app. ### 5/5 — High-Quality Education *2025-04-11* The effort and care that had been put in to curate and present high-quality educational content on this app and their courses shows in their effective results.
