We would like to present the PROF. KIREET JOSHI APP to you. Those seeking answers to the larger context of the riddle of the world or in search of a deeper meaning of existence would benefit greatly through Kireet Joshi’s books and talks, both audio and video, covering continents of topics – soul, dharma, karma or life and its tests and many more. His lectures are extremely valuable in linking our ancient texts,-the Vedas, Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita to the present day evolutionary philosophy presented to us by Sri Aurobindo. Those who seek to discover these texts can soak themselves into the wonderful worlds of light of his words. Kireet Joshi’s talks on Sri Aurobindo’s Life Divine and Synthesis of Yoga help us get a deep understanding of the Philosophy of Creation, Evolution of Man and the difficulties of this path. A life devoted to the field of education, his books on teacher’s training, pertaining to physical, vital and mental education are extremely interesting, providing a very wide exploration into the lives of great personalities of the world. These books expand our horizons and stretch our limits of thought as we enter into those lives. A goldmine of knowledge of both eastern and western philosophy and more so of the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Prof. Kireet Joshi’s lectures cater to man’s impersonal quest of knowledge as well as his deep enquiry into the contemporary problems of man and their solutions. A seeker of Truth from his early years, his search led him to an extensive study of both Indian and Western philosophy but as he said, ‘still the key was missing’. His quest ended after he read the ‘Life Divine’ by Sri Aurobindo while he was doing his Masters in Philosophy and Law in Bombay. He finally moved to Pondicherry so that he could single-mindedly study and practice the Integral yoga of Sri Aurobindo. For the next twenty years he remained engaged in yogic practice and intensive study of the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as well as the vast literature of Indian and Western Philosophy, history and culture. A new system of Integral Education based on Sri Aurobindo’s Philosophy on Education had taken shape and it came to be admired by both Indian and Western educationists. Kireet Joshi played an important role in its development and was instrumental in spreading its message both in India and abroad. He was a professor at the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education where he taught Integral Philosophy, Integral Psychology and Indian culture. He taught students at various levels - Kindergarten, primary, secondary, graduation and post-graduation. He was appointed Educational Advisor to the Government of India specially to create a new dimension of value-education in the entire education system of the country. Extraction of Yogic knowledge from the Vedic Samhitas, Upanishads and the Bhagavadgita and linking it right upto the Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother has been the central focus of his research work. He has penned numerous books - on the life of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, on teacher’s training, Indian Culture with give an excellent introduction to its richness, Physical, Vital and Mental Education, Philosophy, Synthesis of Yoga and other allied themes. Apart from that there is a goldmine of lectures given by him (audio & video) on Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Sri Aurobindo’s Life Divine, Synthesis of Yoga, Upanishads, Vedas and the Bhagavad Gita and renaissance of India. We also find talks on Western Philosophy and Integral Education. His talks also include the soul, death, Ignorance, liberation and perfection, dharma and karma - topics that interest most aspiring souls. We present to you an app with all his books, his audio lectures and videos. Originally collated and digitized by kireetjoshiarchives.com Developed by SavitriFoundation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Kireet Joshi at none against Litres's 10. Kireet Joshi also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Litres's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 13 months) and chart position (#93 vs unranked). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
