Durga Sukhtam app for iPhone and iPad

The Durga Sukhtam app is a free learning tool to help people learn the Durga Sukhtam, an old vedic chant from the Mahanarayana Upanishad. Vedic chants have been passed on from generation to generation unchanged since very ancient times, the sound aspect is equally important as the words used in the chants. The Durga Sukhtam app helps aspirants studying the Vedas.

The app helps aspirants by breaking up the chant into bite size stanzas which can be repeated one by one until they are perfected. Each stanza shows the devengiri text and underneath you have the English transliteration and the audio in call-and-response format can be played at the same time. This can be repeated stanza by stanza or can be played continuously.

The application has full backgrounding support so you can continue learning whilst using other apps on your device uninterrupted. You can use the audio controls in the tray to pause, play, forward and repeat tracks.
