About Bhagwad Geeta:
"The Bhagwad Geeta, literally 'The Song of God', is one of the most important of the spiritual and religious texts of the world, and is to Hindus what the Torah is to Jews, the Bible to Christians, and the Koran to Moslems." - Sri Aurobindo.
"When I read the Bhagavad-Gita and reflect about how God created this universe everything else seems so superfluous." - Albert Einstein

Ratings and Reviews
Good work
Love the clear and precise chanting I grew up with. Translation is objective aka not the Gita as it is kind. The pause after after ding could make for even greater listening experience.
Concept is amazing!
The way it's been implemented is amazing, but I personally believe the 960x640 wow factor can do wonders in this app. GUI can get better on a 326 PPI screen, just like reading the real Geeta!, Indian Literature is great, and I feel it feels better to read it rather hear it, I really like the use of in-app mail, and the best thing is, it's good to see Ancient Indian Literature on App Store!
I wonder what Shri Krishna would think today when he sees The Great Geeta written in Objective C :D
overall, i expect wonders from this app(even if i have to pay for it) :D
Needs an update to a shloka 12.5
Overall good app, if the developer can also furnish word by word meaning that is available from authentic sources, it might benefit audience
Plz update shlok 12.5 the first line is missing!
