How to Use Vedini

Vedini brings together sacred chanting, original script, transliteration, and meaning. Begin with a collection that interests you and choose how you want to learn. The tools available may vary by collection.

Choose a collection

From Home, open a collection to explore its chants and reading materials. Start with the main reader to see what is available.

Browse collections

Read in your preferred script

Where supported, switch between Devanagari and Kannada. Use IAST transliteration to follow pronunciation alongside the original script.

Find a collection

Listen and repeat

Use the audio controls to listen, pause, and chant along. Some collections also offer adjustable speed, repetition counts, selected ranges, or guided practice.

Explore available chanting tools

Explore the meaning

Read the simple meaning first. Where available, expand word-by-word explanations and contextual significance to understand the text beyond its sounds.

Explore study materials

Find a passage

Use the search, section index, or jump controls provided by a collection to return to a particular verse, word, or divine name.

Browse the readings

Choose your practice style

Study one passage carefully, repeat a selection, or use a continuous-chanting view when the collection offers one. You can focus on the original text by hiding optional reading aids.
