Soundarya Lahari with Meaning

For more than a thousand years, devotees have sung these hundred Sanskrit verses to Devi, the Divine Mother. Tradition holds that they were composed by Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankaracharya Bhagavatpada. The first forty-one are the Ananda Lahari, the wave of bliss; the rest are the Soundarya Lahari, the wave of beauty. This app keeps the whole stotra with you, to read, to chant and to understand, one verse at a time.

New: a "Verse for today" widget for your home screen. It shows the day's verse from Home, with its meaning, in Kannada or English as you read the app, and opens that verse with a tap. It needs no internet. Also: a new app icon, in which the small triangle around the bindu at the centre of the Sri Chakra now shows clearly; and a link opened from a message now starts fresh, so Back no longer takes you to the screen you were on before.
