A verse to carry through the day

यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता। योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः।।6.19।।

yathā dīpo nivāta-stho neṅgate sopamā smṛitā yogino yata-chittasya yuñjato yogam ātmanaḥ

""As a lamp in a spot sheltered from the wind does not flicker,"—even such has been the simile used for a Yogi of subdued mind, practising concentration in the Self."

Your Complete Hindu Companion

Siraat is a free, privacy-respecting companion for daily Hindu practice. Whether you keep the morning sandhya at home, read a chapter of the Bhagavad Gita on your commute, or count japa before bed, Siraat brings every essential together so you can focus on your sadhana.

The daily Panchang is computed for your exact location — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, along with Rahu Kaal and the day's auspicious windows. The Gita reader presents each verse in Devanagari with transliteration and a faithful English translation, and the festival calendar keeps Ekadashi, Navratri and every major utsav in view before they arrive.

Beyond the essentials, Siraat offers a japa mala with goals and streaks, stotras and aartis with meaning — from the Hanuman Chalisa to the Shiva Tandava Stotram — a curated guide to India's most sacred temples, and stories from the Puranas told simply for every generation. Every feature is built with care, so your practice — not the app — stays at the centre.
