Mangala Media
Course media for centers
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
For Vipassana meditation centers: plays course sessions in the hall and translated audio on student devices. Requires a center account and on-site server.
Mangala Media is the media playback app used at Vipassana meditation centers in the tradition of S.N. Goenka. It plays the recorded instructions and discourses of a meditation course in the meditation hall, and provides translated audio to students on center-owned devices.
This app is for meditation centers only. It requires an account issued to a center and a connection to the center's on-site Mangala media server. It is not a meditation app for the general public and has no content of its own.
For the course teacher or center administrator (tablet):
• Start and control the day's scheduled sessions in the hall
• See what is playing and where each session stands
• Manage the center's handheld devices and their languages
For students who need another language (handheld device):
• Hear the current session in the assigned language through headphones
• Sessions are downloaded ahead of time, so playback continues if the Wi-Fi drops
Free, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Provided by the Vipassana meditation centers for their own use.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Course start codes: the 60-Day course asks for a 6-digit code before it starts; Admin can add the other long courses.
• Worker's Metta not started by 10:00 pm (8:45 pm with Early Worker's Metta): the player moves on by itself.
• Long courses, two discourse times: the 8:15 pm row is the other language, for the hall only; devices get theirs at 7:15 pm.
• Combined 45-Day course, Days 11–15: 15A students hear the 15A course — the 6 PM sitting too, on 15A devices and the Pagoda unit.
• Days 29–30: "Evening, 7:15 PM" is now the default for the 30-Day discourse. A centre that chose Afternoon keeps it.
• Pagoda mode: option to also play the 15A sessions on Days 11–15 and the 45-Day sessions on Days 29–30 (Settings ▸ Courses).
• Tablet storage: downloads pause while less than 2 GB is free, and Settings ▸ App says what to clear.
• Bug fixes and improvements.
