We may accumulate wealth but without a vision for life the same wealth can be the cause of grief. Scriptures and good reads provide us with a mission and vision. In the year 1953 Shastriji Maharaj Shri Dharmajivandasji Swami started a press in Gurukul Rajkot and started the benevolent act of printing the scriptures of the Swaminarayan faith. Since then Swaminarayan Guruku Rajkot has published 197 publications. Bhagwan Swaminarayan’s Vachnamrutams, scriptures composed by Nand Santos, and those published by Das Santos provide us with solace. These solve our spiritual and social dilemmas. Reading of these scriptures brings peace to individuals and families alike. In this age of smart phones and tablets Swaminarayan Gurukul Rajkot by the wish of Guru Maharaj Shri Devkrushnadasji Swami would like to publish “Satsang Books” application to the App Store on November 26, 2014 the day of Vachanamrut Jayanti.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Paramrut holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 10 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Satsang Books's written reviews are positive against 75% of Paramrut's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Satsang Books ships an update fortnightly, Paramrut every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
