Bhagavad Gita goes mobile

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Mobifusion, a global publisher of mobile applications and technology, has launched the entire Holy Bhagavad Gita on cell phones in India.

The service was first launched on Janmashtami day, for Vodafone-Essar users.

The Bhagavad Gita contains all the 700 Sanskrit Slokas with its English translation beautifully rendered by Padmashree Prof P Lal.

The translation preserves the dignity and grace of the original epic poem, remaining consistently faithful to the oral and musical tradition of Vyasa.

The application is currently available to Vodafone-Essar mobile subscribers and will be shortly available on other operator networks.

“The Holy Bhagavad-Gita is a source of knowledge and peace and now that we’ve optimized it for the cell phone, it will be particularly useful to de-stress in today’s modern society. We are very glad to be associated with this project and unveil it on such a day of importance,” says Prashant Gupta, managing director of Mobifusion’s India Center.”

Subscribers of Vodafone Essar across India and Spice telecom in Punjab now can access the Holy Bhagavad-Gita instantly on their cell phones.

The application comes with a built-in simple search engine, which enables users to instantly access Slokas that are relevant to a particular situation.

Mobifusion is also working on a mobile audio version so users can listen to the beauty of the works as well.
