New App in Progress

Thanks to our annual Digital Dharma drive donors, we are slowing making progress on a brave new initiative to create a "Mahaapp" for Lord Siva and all Siva's children worldwide. It will be called the SivaSiva in line with this ancient and famous mantra from our tradition. This a sneak preview... full details are top secret until we release betas. it's a huge project because our users have encourage us to make a "one stop shop" app, like they do now in China and Korea (instead of releasing 20 small apps...) Stay tuned. Please continue to give generously to the Digital Dharma Fund to support our extensive development costs.

The default home screen has link to several different content types... we call these \"portals:

Here is an example of the portal to \"Practice\" . Our goal is to provide access to our key resources that everyone has wanted to see on their smart phones, plus an additional layer of interactivity and accessibility.

The Gems of Wisdom module provides quotes from books. Our volunteers have been working for nearly 10 monthys helping to extract sentences and paragraphs from the trilogy and catagorizing these. Each one will come with a gorgeous background phone you can see full screen by tapping.

if you want to read the quote in context, assuming you are connected to the net, our app will taking you directly to the chapter from which the quote was taken.

You will also be able to go directly to various pages on our web site directly inside the app.
