Bhagavad Gita

On the Path to Devotion

The complete text of the book and its narration — in one app for iPhone and iPad. An introduction and eighteen chapters, about sixteen hours of listening. Two editions: Russian and English.

Two roads to one book

Open it as a reader — or start the recording and listen. The app remembers the two places separately: where you stopped reading and where the recording stopped. Move from one to the other at any moment, with a single tap.

The text follows the voice

While the narration plays, the exact word being spoken is highlighted in the text. Not the chapter, not the paragraph — the word. Look away and come back, and you see at once where you are.

In Russian and in English

The book comes in two editions, each with the full text and narration. Switch the language on the first screen, and everything changes with it: the text, the chapters, the labels and the recording.

The narration arrives by itself

The text is inside the app. The narration is hosted by Apple and downloads after the first launch: the introduction first, so you can start listening right away, then the other chapters. Once downloaded it stays on your device, and no connection is needed after that. No sign-up, no account.

Made for reading

Light and dark themes, adjustable type size, search across the whole book. Narration at normal speed or one and a half times faster, in the background, with controls on the Lock Screen and on your headphones. Laid out for iPhone, iPad and the foldable iPhone.

No ads, no subscriptions, no data collection. The app knows nothing about you. It goes online only to fetch the recording — from Apple's servers.

About this edition

The book is written by Igor Romanyuga, who publishes under the name RAMANUGA. The text in the app is narrated by speech synthesis.
