Using This Site

This site is built for daily chanting and quiet study. You do not need technical skill to use it. Follow the steps below, or open a stotra and learn as you read.

Find a stotra

Start from the home page, browse by deity, or open the full library. Each stotra has its own page with a short introduction and a grid of all verses.

Open and read

On a stotra page, tap Start chanting to open verse 1, or Read all verses to scroll the full text on one page. Try Nirvana Shatakam if you want a short six-verse introduction.

Move between verses

While reading one verse at a time, use Prev and Nextat the bottom of the screen. Tap the verse counter (for example, "Verse 2 of 6") to open a verse picker and jump anywhere. On a phone, you can also swipe left or right to change verses. Try moving to verse 2 of Nirvana Shatakam.

Choose your script

Tap the script menu above the text to switch between Devanagari, IAST, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, or Kannada. The same Sanskrit source is shown in each script. You can also set a default in Settings.

Chant or Study

Use Chant for daily recitation when you want the sacred text without editorial notes. Use Study when you want word breakdown and reflection notes beside the verse. Switch anytime with the toggle above the text. Open verse 1 and try both modes.

Save and return

Tap Save on a stotra page to bookmark it for regular chanting. Saved stotras appear on the Saved Stotras page and on the home page. The site also remembers where you stopped; use Continue reading on the home page to resume.

Text size and theme

Common questions

Do I need an account to use this site?

No. Reading settings, saved stotras, and continue reading are stored on your device in your browser.

What is the difference between Chant and Study mode?

Chant keeps the sacred text primary and hides editorial study notes. Study reveals word breakdown and Advaita study notes beside the verse.

How do I read in Tamil, Telugu, or Malayalam script?

Open the script menu above the text while reading, or go to Settings. Choose Devanagari, IAST, or a regional script generated from the same Sanskrit source.

How do I jump to a specific verse?

Tap the verse counter at the bottom of the screen, or open the verse grid on the stotra overview page.
