The Narayana Sukhtam app helps aspirants studying the Vedas.
The applications is divided into 2 distinct sections, the first section is called "Learn". This section of the app helps aspirants by breaking up the chant into bite size stanzas which can be repeated one by one until they are perfected. Each stanza shows the devengiri text and underneath you have the English transliteration and the audio in call-and-response format can be played at the same time. This can be repeated stanza by stanza or can be played continuously.
