About KathaMantra

KathaMantra is a free website for reading chalisas, aartis, mantras, the Bhagavad Gita and stories from the Ramayan and Mahabharat in simple Hindi and English, made for easy reading on a phone.

The original texts come from traditional, public-domain scriptures. Meanings, retellings and the 'lesson for today' are written by our team in our own words. If you spot a mistake, please tell us.

Your reading data (where you stopped, bookmarks, highlights, notes and chanting counts) is saved only on your phone. We do not store it on our servers.

Questions typed into 'Ask' are sent to Google's Gemini AI, along with matching passages from our texts, to write the answer. Please don't include personal information in your question.
