This update brings a warmer, more consistent look across every screen, and makes your practice tracking more complete. • A warm, unified look on every screen — the meditation, guided-practice, and reference screens now share the same devotional canvas. • Mānasika Pūjā now appears in your Journey and counts toward your streak. • Your guided practices — Trāṭaka, Antar Mauna, Prāṇāyāma, Nirguṇa — are now named in your history. • The screen stays awake through timed practices, so it never dims mid-session. • A gentle safety check before advanced breath-retention (kumbhaka) techniques. • Sharper accuracy — Tarabala, janma-day and hora reminders now follow your chosen Panchang city. • Smoother audio — chanting ambience recovers after calls, and hardware volume-button counting is more reliable. Thank you for practicing with DhyanaMala.
