Bhagavad Gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom. Bhagavad Gita, is a part of the 5th Veda (written by Vedavyasa - ancient Indian saint) and Indian Epic - Mahabharata. It was narrated for the first time in the battle of Kurukshetra, by Lord Krishna to Arjun. The Bhagavad Gita also referred to as Gita, is a 700–verse Dharmic scripture that is part of the ancient Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. This scripture contains a conversation between Pandava prince Arjuna and his guide Krishna on a variety of philosophical issues. Faced with a fratricidal war, a despondent Arjuna turns to his charioteer Krishna for counsel on the battlefield. Krishna, through the course of the Bhagavad Gita, imparts to Arjuna wisdom, the path to devotion, and the doctrine of selfless action. The Bhagavad Gita upholds the essence and the philosophical tradition of the Upanishads. However, unlike the rigorous monism of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita also integrates dualism and theism. Numerous commentaries have been written on the Bhagavad Gita with widely differing views on the essentials, beginning with Adi Sankara's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita in the eighth century CE. Commentators see the setting of the Bhagavad Gita in a battlefield as an allegory for the ethical and moral struggles of the human life. The Bhagavad Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who referred to the Bhagavad Gita as his "spiritual dictionary". •All 700 Sanskrit Shlokas with Hindi translation and description • Bookmark your favorite Bhagavad Gita shlokas/verses • Fast and responsive user interface • Share feature to easily send your favorite Bhagavad Gita shloka/verse to your friends • App fully functional without internet Please take out a minute to Rate and Review our app. Jai Shri Krishna!!!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: The Vulgate Bible in Latin and English at none against Shrimad Bhagavad Gita English's shown. The Vulgate Bible in Latin and English also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (89% vs 73%). Shrimad Bhagavad Gita English's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 15) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita English holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shrimad Bhagavad Gita English has 1.5K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of The Vulgate Bible in Latin and English's written reviews are positive against 73% of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita English's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
