A Truly Authentic App

I had the privilege of taking some yoga classes with Trip Shanti. His passion for his practice and study of the Sutras has made a lasting impression on me. This app is clearly a labor of love.

All you need

I have been using this app for years. It has a straightforward accessible interface that makes referencing and memorisation easy. On most occasions I use wisdom lib and external sources for deeper understanding of Sanskrit terms, but take that as part of study.

No bugs, no bells and whistles just ancient wisdom at your finger tips.

Skipped Sutra 3.22

I’m enjoying the app. Today I noticed in pada 3 the sutras don’t match another book I’m reading. I see that 3.22 was skipped on the app and therefore all the rest of the pada sutra numbers are off. I hope you can correct. Thank you for this app. 🙏
