iPuja app for iPhone and iPad
Need to Pray on the go? Need to express your faith anywhere? iPuja can help you with that.
iPuja is a Hindu prayer application. It feature hindu deities and the respective mantras to chant for each one. All the deities are actual Hindu Idols found at the Shiv Shakti Mandir in Mauritius.
Idol worship is one of the main precepts of Hinduism. The idol is a symbol, a form, with which the mind can be connected and concentrated upon. More than any abstract concept, an image or a symbol (yantra) is the best aid to concentrate and control ones mind and attention. By keeping the mind concentrated on a particular image, the mind can be stabilized. Idol worship helps us to concentrate the energies that emanate from a prayer into one strong flow of current in one particular direction.
In the symbolism section, we explain some of the symbols in Hinduism and their significance. We have a Kirtan Section with the lyrics of some major chants in Hinduism. Hanuman, Shiva and Durga Chalisas are included for now. We will be adding more kirtans in the future and add audio for them too.
We have a mantra chanting section to help you meditate. It loops through the mantras for continuous repetitive chanting of these powerful mantras. You can listen in through your iphone loudspeakers or through tour iphone headsets.
Pros and cons of iPuja app for iPhone and iPad
iPuja app good for
Being away from home and trying to fund prayer books and prayer saamaan "stuff" is very hard. Now having this app gives me the chance of praying wherever I am. Thanks a lot. God bless everyone.....
Great app with nice interface. Good work. Please bring some more about Lord Shiva and their mantras. Thanks.
This is a very useful app, however it can use more mantras and audio.
As a beginner... Especially one that doesnt speak Hindi, it has been hard to get my tung around it all but once I said my first Mantra I felt InCredible!!!
Great! Keep adding mantras and meaning ,,, should add bhajans and meaning with a audio file
I love this app!!!! I love The Gayatri Mantra the most!! Highest rating possible!! Thank U 4 a wonderful app.!!! Namaste!!!
Some bad moments
Good thing it was free, because I would have been very upset to have paid only to have it not work. Tried re-downloading and re-loading several times, but it still did not work. The title page would load, and then it would go blank. You could push the various section icons, but it would just load another blank page. Very frustrating. Looks like a great app - hope they fix it soon!
It does NOT work. I reported the issue, but no response. Very disappointing as I was excited to explore.
Excellent concept but what makes me sad is the typos and blatant mistakes in mantras and chants. Hanuman chalisa has some strange text after first stanza. Seems error in copy paste. Penultimate line of morning mantra is wrong. Similar errors across. Please fix the content and if possible also provide actual Sanskrit text to read from.
