Sanskrit is the language used for a large corpus of Hindu, Buddhist and Jain religious texts.

While translations are available for most of these texts, it is most satisfying to obtain this knowledge directly from the primary sources.<br /><br /><br /><table><tr><td><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrm_rdVspI/AAAAAAAAAXI/rC7fXbceyTs/s320/screen-chapters.jpg" width="220" /></td><td><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrmrR7KSiI/AAAAAAAAAXA/tNSO6nxdjJE/s320/screen-appendix.jp" width="220" /></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrnAbCa8QI/AAAAAAAAAXQ/sxWlkHTE1A4/s320/screen-consonants.jpg" width="220" /></td><td><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrsOoRiK2I/AAAAAAAAAXo/uoKCMsx0WIE/s320/screen-5-15.jpg" width="220" /></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrsO6Wzs_I/AAAAAAAAAXw/DmdLXWNQ9Zw/s320/screen-17-23.jpg" width="220" /></td><td><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrnA9u2W-I/AAAAAAAAAXY/iUCjMFp_vyM/s320/screen-rama.jpg" width="220" /></td></tr><tr><td><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/TBrnBagzaoI/AAAAAAAAAXg/B2ogvfYyTcw/s320/screen-sentence.jpg" width="220" /></td></tr></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606663227841557574-980101114458683874?l=iphonegita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>KVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13143516016114906392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606663227841557574.post-48411550402043130252010-02-17T03:46:00.000-08:002010-07-28T11:02:06.026-07:00- Roman transliteration for all slokas using ISO 15919<br />- Fixed typos for a few slokas<br />- Launches the last read sloka upon restart<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Screen Shots</span><br /><br /><br /><table><tr><td><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/S3vYwHnYtLI/AAAAAAAAAWA/LmnKHGYQ8sY/s320/sloka-screen.jpg" width="220" /></td><td><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UnVe5r3w6Uk/S3vYwbwgxBI/AAAAAAAAAWI/uyXnIG-bFhg/s320/sloka-screen-en.jp" width="220" /></td></tr></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8606663227841557574-4841155040204313025?l=iphonegita.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>KVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13143516016114906392noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8606663227841557574.post-18276048161453519682009-10-14T21:44:00.000-07:002010-07-28T11:06:12.044-07:00<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=336105959&amp;mt=8">App Link</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Application Description</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Bhagavad Gita represents the epitome of the philosophy contained in Sanatana Dharma.
