Do you remember those little flash executable files that allow you to offer prayers to God on your computer? You can click on different icons to ring bells, light the incense sticks and break a coconut. Almost everybody had them on their systems few years ago. Robosoft Technologies is trying to recreate that same effect on the iPhone with their apps ‘Shri Durga Prarthana’ and ‘Shri Vishnu Prarthana’.
There are two parts in both the apps. In the Aarti part you can perform puja by ringing the bells, lighting the incense sticks & lamps, showering flowers, offering fruits, applying tilak and giving aarti (all by touching the corresponding icons/images and while listening to high-quality aarti audio).
The other part is chalisa that you can listen to or chant along. You can see chalisa text and the meaning in either Hindi or English. While you are listening to the chalisa audio, text and meaning will be displayed in sync on the screen. You can easily go forward or rewind with the usual swipe gestures of iPhone.
It is a good way to have these apps in your pocket and be able to offer prayers anywhere, particularly if you are a person who is travelling a lot. Visit this page for pictures and video demos.
Both these apps are available for $1.99 each (at the time of writing this post).
