INSPIRATION

Preaching is the essence. Purity is the force. Utility is the principle. Books are the basis.

Following inspiration from so many wonderful Sannyasis and senior devotees, and with permission from the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, Dancing Ganesh is privileged to able to present an exclusive program which gives you access to 13 of Srila Prabhupada's books at your fingertips. Just imagine, wherever you travel, in your lunch breaks, giving class, being asked a challenging question, you could have the answers with you in your pocket, beadbag or handbag.

This is our way of serving Srila Prabhupada's mission of spreading Krishna Consciousness throughout the world. Therefore, the cost of the package containing 13 books has been kept to a minimum. A small amount to pay in return for the most incredible teachings from Srila Prabhupada.

Dancing Ganesh has had enormous pleasure in creating this software and owes full gratitude to the continued support of ISKCON devotees.

### 1/5 — Does not support family sharing

*2026-07-10, version 3.8*

I have an active subscription but it is letting me share it with my family

### 1/5 — Why cant i select the books on this app

*2022-10-31, version 3.8*

I cannot open the app home page, needs to be updated please.

### 3/5 — Features missing

*2022-02-21, version 3.8*

Hare Krishna. Thanks for developing this app, full of wisdom and Prabhupad’s mercy coming through his books. 
I wanted to share my opinion on few things that would be really helpful for the scriptures studying. 

If we are using this as a substitute of the physical format, then we would miss bookmarks, highlighting and notes. 

If any of this could be added, I’m sure that the app would be more helpful and of a greater service.

Thank you. 
Haribol

### 5/5 — Great app! Thanks for the updates!

*2020-04-18, version 3.7*

Thanks for the fix with IOS 13.4 and dark mode! I love this app!! Everything about this app works great. Fantastic way to keep Srila Prabhupada’ books with me everywhere.

### 5/5 — Thank you for this fine service to Shrila Prabhupada!

*2020-04-10*

Everything is done with loving care and works remarkably! 
Thank you for this fine service to Shrila Prabhupada!

### 1/5 — Update has made it worse.

*2020-04-10, version 3.6*

The new update has made it impossible to see the books. Please fix this problem. Hare Krishna.

### 4/5 — Amazing app, please add support for iOS 13 and newer iPhones.

*2020-03-30, version 3.5*

Also unlimited scrolling would be great.

### 1/5 — Totally disappointed

*2019-08-14*

The app doesn’t worth of its price. Trying to get my money back

### 3/5 — TOO COSTLY

*2018-11-26, version 3.5*

This is a nice straight forward app, but certainly not worth paying so much for. It would also be vastly improved if it supported split screen multitasking since many will use it as an aid in their studying and writing.

### 3/5 — Not compatible

*2018-11-21, version 3.5*

Not compatible with latest iPhone XS.

When I open the App, I can’t close it or go to home screen etc. Only way to exist out of the app is to shut down the phone and start.
