*2026-03-03, version 4.6.1* The most comprehensive collection of timeless expressions of precious vedic recitation and knowledge for those desirous of genuine growth and fulfilment on every level. ### 5/5 — A Perfect Gift *2025-12-25* I got the delightful Maharishi Veda App as a gift in 2017 . Since then, I have been listening in wonderment and recommending this most fascinating evolving treasure trove of Vedic recitations. It’s a perfect gift of Self- well being and fulfillment. ### 5/5 — Very Nice Recitations *2025-11-03* These recitations are wonderful to listen to and create a very positive influence. Also the instructions on how to listen to the recitations for best results are very helpful. ### 5/5 — The only thing I miss *2025-09-24* Many years ago , I would listen to Sama Veda chanting on a cassette tape. The sound was raw and usually the chanting was slightly out of tune. On this new APP, the Audio is rather refined and sounds like it’s been auto tuned. Unlike the old cassette tapes where you would hear a little coughing. I miss the raw , unedited Sama Veda of old. ### 5/5 — Nourishing on the level of sound *2025-02-25* Soothing to the nervous system. A few minutes the morning and a few before sleep made a big difference. ### 5/5 — Love this app when it works! *2025-02-14* Worth every penny! **Developer response:** Thank you. We really apprecaite your support in helping us build our subscriber abse by giving us this 5 star review. Thank you ### 3/5 — How do I pay ? *2024-08-25, version 4.4.2* How do I pay ? ### 3/5 — Why do we need pay for the Laws of Nature? *2024-07-29, version 4.4.2* Many years ago I bought the CD’s of Gandharva Veda for the different times of the day and used to play them at appropriate times to create harmony. They have become lost. I would like to purchase just them again. I don’t need all the other offerings thank you. Hence why pay for all the others not needed? As a student of ™ the whole idea is for as many people as possible worldwide to meditate and live in harmony with the Laws of Nature. Charging for this reduces the number of people who will. ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2024-04-08* Beautiful vedic recitations for every occassion. ## Frequently asked questions about Maharishi Veda ### What does the Maharishi Veda App do?
