Smaraṇa

Smaraṇa is a gentle companion for chanting.

Pick a sloka, chant aloud at your own pace, and watch each word glow as you say it — like reverse karaoke — so you never lose your place. The app stays quiet while you chant. A calm review follows, never a score.

Everything happens on your phone. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and your voice is never recorded or uploaded.

PLAY ALONG — NEW Every sloka now has a recording you can play inside the app. Play it on the speaker and the words light up as the reciter says them, with the page keeping your line in the middle. Learn the tune and the pace from a real recitation, then chant it yourself.

TWENTY-THREE SLOKAS • Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam and Sri Lalita Sahasranamam — the thousand names, glossed name by name • Sri Rudram — Namakam, Chamakam and Laghunyasam, with Vedic svara marks • Hanuman Chalisa, Aditya Hrudayam, Rama Raksha Stotram, Dakshinamurti Stotram • Lingashtakam, Krishnashtakam, Kalabhairava Ashtakam, Mahalakshmi Ashtakam, Ganesha Pancharatnam, Arjuna's Durga Stotram, Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra • A "For Little Ones" set of short slokas for children

READ IT YOUR WAY Devanagari, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati or romanized English — or two together. The romanization marks long vowels, so you can see where to hold a syllable.

MEANINGS Twenty of the slokas carry verse-by-verse meanings in English, Hindi and Telugu, composed for this app and cross-checked against published sources.

TWO WAYS TO CHANT Follow waits for you, one line at a time — best while you are learning. Fast Reading keeps pace as you read ahead, for a sloka you know by heart.

MADE FOR PRACTICE • Adjustable text size on every screen • Easy, Balanced and Strict pronunciation settings • A weekly strip that quietly marks the days you chanted

Smaraṇa is offered as a gentle mirror for your practice, never a test. For true recitation — svara, bhāva and pronunciation — learn from a guru.
