Karana is a home for Hindu practice: the complete Gita verse by verse, five whole scriptures, festivals explained, and stories your children will ask for again. Everything with its why.
What's inside
Most apps give you the text. Karana gives you the understanding: every prayer, verse, and festival explained in plain language.
All 700 verses in Sanskrit, transliteration, and plain English, with the deeper meaning of each verse one tap away.
गीताThe Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Rig Veda, and Puranas as full courses, sourced from cited editions.
शास्त्रCompose your own morning ritual: a prayer, a passage, a moment of stillness. Ten minutes that anchor the day.
साधनाWhy we celebrate, how to celebrate at home, and what to prepare. The tradition, without the guesswork.
उत्सवSixty-three five-minute tellings of the epics and Puranas, written to be read aloud at bedtime.
कथाGayatri to Hanuman Chalisa, line by line, with what each word actually means. In eleven Indian languages.

Questions
We are in the final stretch. Waitlist members get access first, before the public release on iOS, Android, and the web.
The five scripture courses, daily sadhana, festivals, and stories are free at launch. A Plus tier with audio recitations and family mode comes later.
The interface and prayers work in eleven Indian languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Gujarati. Course lessons are in English for now.
Every scripture course is built from cited public editions, and each source is noted in the app. No paraphrasing without a reference.
One email on launch day, with early access. That is the whole deal.
