Sanatana

Sanatana — a quiet home for Hindu sacred texts. Sanatana is a calm, distraction-free reader built to sit inside your daily sādhana instead of competing for your attention. Parchment-toned colors, careful serif type, and a reader that stays out of the way — so the eye settles on the verse, not the interface. A deep, curated library Hundreds of texts, hand-organised by deity and form: • Sahasranamas & Namavalis — Vishnu, Shiva, Lalita, Lakshmi, Ganesha, Krishna, Rama, Durga, Gayatri, Hanuman, Saraswati, Radha, and many more (108, 1000, and special counts). • Aartis — from Om Jai Jagdish Hare to lesser-sung regional aartis for Krishna, Shiva, Durga, Hanuman, Ganga, Yamuna, Santoshi Mata, Sai Baba and dozens more. • Chalisas — Hanuman, Shiva, Durga, Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Sai Baba, Shani, Ram, and the full traditional set. • Ashtakams & Stotrams — Shiva Tandav, Mahishasura Mardini, Aditya Hridaya, Kanakadhara, Rudrashtakam, Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram, Ganapati Atharvashirsha, and more. • Pushtimarga nitya-patha — Yamunashtakam, Madhurashtakam, Navaratna, Krishnashray, Shree Sarvottama Stotram. Read the way you want Every verse is available in three layers: • Pure Devanagari (Noto Serif Devanagari). • Devanagari with IAST transliteration for accurate pronunciation. • Devanagari with English meaning for quiet study.

Sanatana is for anyone who reads or chants daily — and for anyone who would like to, if only the tool were quiet enough. Install it, put the phone down, and let the text do the rest. "Sanatana" means eternal. This app tries to be worthy of the name.
