SRM Learning vs Desika Sthothram

Learn. Apply. Grow. SRM Learning is your digital companion for continuous learning, professional development, and capability building at SRM Institute of Science and Technology. Designed to extend learning beyond the classroom and training room, the app brings together curated learning journeys, assessments, resources, activities, reflections, and development tools in one convenient platform. Whether you are preparing for a learning session, participating in a blended development program, revisiting concepts after a workshop, or learning independently, SRM Learning helps keep your development journey connected and accessible. At SRM, learning is an ongoing journey of discovering new perspectives, building relevant capabilities, applying learning, and continually becoming better at what we do. LEARNING JOURNEYS THAT GO BEYOND THE CLASSROOM SRM Learning supports a growing range of development initiatives in areas such as: Leadership Development Build the mindsets, behaviours, and capabilities required to lead people, teams, and institutions effectively. Mentoring and People Development Develop the ability to listen, guide, support, challenge, and enable others to grow through meaningful developmental relationships. Teaching and Learning Excellence Explore approaches and practices that strengthen learner engagement, facilitation, mentoring, and the overall learning experience. Communication and Conversations Build capability in presenting ideas, giving feedback, influencing others, navigating difficult conversations, and communicating with clarity. Personal and Professional Effectiveness Develop greater self-awareness, productive behaviours, and capabilities that contribute to sustained professional effectiveness. Future-Ready Capabilities Explore emerging ideas, tools, technologies, and ways of working that help learners stay agile, relevant, and prepared for change. A BLENDED LEARNING EXPERIENCE Depending on the learning journey, you may engage with videos, audio, reading material, assessments, case studies, quizzes, activities, reflection exercises, practical tools, templates, and application challenges. Learning can begin before a facilitated session and continue long after it ends. KNOW YOURSELF. PERSONALISE YOUR LEARNING. Selected journeys include assessments and reflective tools to help you understand your preferences, behaviours, capabilities, and development opportunities. These insights help you connect learning to your own context. LEARN AT YOUR PACE Access assigned learning resources when you need them, revisit important concepts, reinforce previous learning, and use the app as an ongoing development resource. MULTIPLE WAYS TO LEARN SRM Learning supports varied learning preferences through visual, auditory, reading, reflective, experiential, and collaborative learning experiences. FROM LEARNING TO APPLICATION Learning becomes valuable when it changes what we do. Reflection prompts, practice activities, application tools, and follow-through resources help bridge the gap between knowing and doing. STAY CONNECTED Learning prompts and notifications help you stay engaged, remember key ideas, and continue progressing through your development journey. Wherever you are in your professional journey, there is always something more to discover, something new to practise, and another opportunity to grow. *Welcome to SRM Learning! Learn continuously. Apply meaningfully. Grow purposefully.*

Desika Sthothram is a quiet, beautiful place to read the stotras of Swami Vedanta Desikan (Thoopul Nigamantha Mahadesikan), the great Sri Vaishnava acharya, poet and philosopher. Every verse is free, the whole text is inside the app, and it works entirely offline.

READ IN YOUR OWN SCRIPT Choose how the Sanskrit is written — Tamil (with the Grantha conventions of Tamil Vaishnava books), Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Devanagari, or English in two forms: an easy spelling for reciting and IAST for scholars. Switch any time in Settings; your place and bookmarks carry over. Search works across all of them, so you can type in Roman letters and find a verse written in any script. MADE FOR RECITATION • Clean, unhurried reading with adjustable type size and typeface • Light, sepia and night reading themes, plus a high-contrast mode • Full-screen reading that hides every control • The invocatory verse and closing mangalam shown with each stotra • Verse numbers as printed, so you can jump straight to verse 37 • Bookmark any verse, and gather verses into your own collections • Share a verse as text • Daily reminders at the times you choose • A home-screen widget that shows a verse every hour • Previous and next stotra at the end of each page PRIVATE AND OFFLINE No account is needed and nothing you read is sent to us. Your bookmarks, collections and place stay on your device, or sync through your own iCloud if you turn that on. The app shows small banner ads to keep it free; a one-time purchase removes them, and anyone who leaves a tip never sees them. ABOUT THE TEXT The Sanskrit text is taken from the Sri Desika Stotrani edition prepared by Sunder Kidambi with the blessings of Srimad Andavan, Srirangam (prapatti.com). The Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Devanagari renderings and the Roman spellings are converted from that Tamil-Grantha text by the app; they have been checked line by line against it, but a conversion can differ from a printed edition in places.
