About

Sanatana

Features
Read full description

Sanatana — a quiet home for Hindu sacred texts. Sanatana is a calm, distraction-free reader built to sit inside your daily sādhana instead of competing for your attention. Parchment-toned colors, careful serif type, and a reader that stays out of the way — so the eye settles on the verse, not the interface. A deep, curated library Hundreds of texts, hand-organised by deity and form: • Sahasranamas & Namavalis — Vishnu, Shiva, Lalita, Lakshmi, Ganesha, Krishna, Rama, Durga, Gayatri, Hanuman, Saraswati, Radha, and many more (108, 1000, and special counts). • Aartis — from Om Jai Jagdish Hare to lesser-sung regional aartis for Krishna, Shiva, Durga, Hanuman, Ganga, Yamuna, Santoshi Mata, Sai Baba and dozens more. • Chalisas — Hanuman, Shiva, Durga, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Sai Baba, Shani, Ram, and the full traditional set. • Ashtakams & Stotrams — Shiva Tandav, Mahishasura Mardini, Aditya Hridaya, Kanakadhara, Rudrashtakam, Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram, Ganapati Atharvashirsha, and more. • Pushtimarga nitya-patha — Yamunashtakam, Madhurashtakam, Navaratna, Krishnashray, Shree Sarvottama Stotram. Read the way you want Every verse is available in three layers: • Pure Devanagari (Noto Serif Devanagari). • Devanagari with IAST transliteration for accurate pronunciation. • Devanagari with English meaning for quiet study. Toggle layers from the reading options sheet, and scale the text with a single slider — your preference persists. Verse of the Day A single shloka, chosen each morning, appearing the moment you open the app. A gentle daily anchor. Panchang, done properly A daily panchang with tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise / sunset and key muhurtas — localised to your city and available in Gujarati and Marathi traditions. Browse by day or by calendar, with festivals and vrats marked. Designed for return visits • Bookmarks & Favorites — save specific verses or whole texts. • Continue reading — pick up exactly where you left off. • Search — find a name, a phrase, or a text instantly across the library. • Browse by deity — a dedicated view of everything available for each god, goddess, or sant. • Lyric quick-pick — jump straight into Aartis, Chalisas, Stotrams or Ashtakams. Built with respect • No ads. No tracking. No account required. • Fully offline — once installed, nothing requires a network. • No push notifications pestering you to "practise." • No gamification, streaks, or engagement loops. Sanatana is for anyone who reads or chants daily — and for anyone who would like to, if only the tool were quiet enough. Install it, put the phone down, and let the text do the rest. "Sanatana" means eternal. This app tries to be worthy of the name.
