About

The complete Bhagavad Gita, all 700 verses in English, presented one verse at a time. Tap "Next verse" to read the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna in canonical order. Sanskrit and transliteration are tucked under a toggle. Your position is saved in your browser, so you can close the app and pick up where you left off.

Translation

The English translation is by Shri Purohit Swami, first published in 1935. It is in the public domain. Where Purohit's translation was unavailable, the app falls back to Swami Sivananda's English translation. Both are free to read, share, and reuse.

Source data

Verses, Sanskrit, transliteration, and translations were pulled from vedicscriptures.github.io. The full machine-readable dataset is at data.json.

Verse count

The Gita is traditionally cited as 700 verses across 18 chapters. This dataset contains 701, because the source's edition of chapter 13 has 35 verses where some editions have 34. Either way, the full text is here.
