Kanha: Bhagavad Gita Explained

Kanha helps you read the Bhagavad Gita one verse at a time, with a plain-English explanation of what
each verse means. If you are new to the Gita, or have tried before and put it down, this is a calm
place to begin.

Read the Gita, one verse at a time
Every verse is a card. The front shows the verse in a clear English translation. Tap it and the back
explains the meaning in everyday words, so you understand it instead of just getting through it.
Swipe to move on, double-tap to save a verse you love.

Made for beginners and busy people
Choose a daily pace and Kanha shows how long it will take to finish the Gita at that speed. Verses
unlock in order as you read, so you always know where you are and what comes next. Chapter 1 and the
start of chapter 2 are told as an illustrated story, so you begin where Krishna's teaching to Arjuna
begins.

More than verses
Between verses you get short breaks: what a Sanskrit word really means, a "did you notice" fact
about the story, a moment to mark finishing a chapter, and a question to answer in your own words.
Kanha, the friendly mascot, keeps you company along the way.

Why Kanha
Kanha was built by one person who wanted to read the Gita and could not find an app that made it
easy. Most were confusing, behind a paywall, or buried the verses under ads. Kanha has no ads and no
paywall. It is built around the text itself.

Your data
You sign in once so your progress is saved. You can delete your account and everything saved with it
from inside the app at any time. Kanha does not sell your data.

Translation
Verses use Swami Swarupananda's 1909 English translation (public domain), lightly modernised. The
plain-language meanings and questions are Kanha's own wording.
