Gita All-In-One is a free, ad-free companion for studying the Śrīmad Bhagavad Gītā — verse by verse, word by word, with the commentaries of the great teachers. READ EVERY VERSE PROPERLY All 701 verses, laid out as they are meant to be read: two lines for the anuṣṭubh verses, four for the longer triṣṭubh verses, the speaker shown separately and the verse number in your script's own numerals. Each verse comes with its transliteration and your chosen translation. Swipe to move to the next verse. UNDERSTAND EVERY WORD Tap any word in a verse to see its meaning, its root, and its grammar — case, number, gender, tense — and step through the verse word by word. Word-by-word meanings can come from Swami Sivananda, Swami Swarupananda (1909) or Swami Mukundananda; grammatical analysis is from the Digital Corpus of Sanskrit. THE GREAT COMMENTARIES Read the Sanskrit commentaries of Śrī Śaṅkarācārya, Rāmānujācārya, Madhvācārya, Śrīdhara Svāmī, Madhusūdana Sarasvatī, Vedānta Deśika, Abhinavagupta and others, Śaṅkara's Bhāṣya in English (A. Mahadeva Sastri), and the Hindi and English commentaries of Swami Ramsukhdas, Swami Chinmayananda and Swami Sivananda. • Search inside the commentaries and jump straight to the passage • Filter by school — Advaita, Viśiṣṭādvaita, Dvaita and more — and by language • Pin the commentators you study with so they're always first • Read Sanskrit commentaries in Devanagari, Telugu or IAST COMPARE TRANSLATIONS A dozen translations in English, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil — including Swami Gambhirananda, Swami Sivananda, Swami Swarupananda, Shri Purohit Swami and Annie Besant — side by side. Trace a single Sanskrit word across all of them to see how each translator understood it. HIGHLIGHT, NOTE AND KEEP Select any words in a translation or commentary to highlight them in one of four colours, copy or share them, or add them to your personal notes. Bookmarks, notes, highlights, reading history and your progress through all 18 chapters live together in the Library. SEARCH THE WHOLE GITA One search box understands verse numbers ("2.47"), Sanskrit in any script, romanised words with or without diacritics ("karmanye"), and English or Hindi phrases across every translation and commentary. CHANTING MODE Read a chapter — or the whole Gita — as one continuous stream of verses, with the current verse lit up and gentle auto-scroll, chapter colophons and all.

About

Devalay

Read full description

For centuries, Bharat has suffered the onslaught of Islamic invaders, who have left a wake of loot, pillage and destruction. The scars exist even today, the motherland broken into pieces. The kingdom of Gandhāra, mentioned in the Mahābhārata, has an almost non existent Hindu population today. But one need not travel to a foreign country to see carnage. In 1990, Shri Sitaram Goel published a book. titled Hindu Temples – What Happened to Them, listing thousands of Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples, which were destroyed to build Islamic monuments and places of worship, stressing this list was just the tip of the iceberg! This app attempts to convey that same list in an interactive map form. (Clicking on any marker displays further information about it.) You can also search for a specific desecrated Devalay, either by it's name, place or state.
