What’s New Version v 2.0
Updesh 2.0 is a calmer, more focused way to return to the Gita each day.
This update introduces a redesigned Today screen with one teaching at the center, combining Sanskrit, translation, audio, chanting controls, and reflection in a single daily practice.
Reflections now has its own space for notes, diary entries, and weekly practice history. The Gita tab has also been refreshed with richer chapter artwork, clearer progress language, and an easier continue- reading flow.
Daily reminders now open today’s teaching more reliably, and settings sync has been clarified.
Your existing bookmarks, notes, and reading progress remain exactly where you left them.
