Wake up every morning to the mellifluous voice of world-renowned Carnatic singer Bombay Jayashri propitiating the planet of the day. Available as an app, Navagraha Kritis, comprises seven striking compositions – one dedicated to each planet of the week. Each one comes with the promise of warding off malefic effects and helping you find peace within. The melodious mantras calm you to the core. The app contains kritis on Surya, Candra, Angaraka, Budha, Brhaspati, Sukra and Sani. Talking about how the app came into being, Bombay Jayashri says "the Navagraha kritis, compositions of Saint Muthuswamy Dikshitar, when sung, is like praying to the planets seeking blessings for peace and health, and I hope my humble effort in this new format reaches out to the music world."
Another app by the same team is Melodic Chants. Meant for children, these are set to simple tunes so kids can sing along and learn. The lyrics and their meanings are also provided to help understand and learn the chants. It comprises two volumes with four chants each. These chants, in the voices of children singing along with Bombay Jayashri, are a lyrical string of names expressing the attributes or the nature of the Divine. Volume 1 has chants to Durga, Maruti, Vishnu, and Child Krishna. Volume 2 has chants to Ganapathy, Shiva, Krishna and Amba Parameswari.
Priced at Rs 110/- and Rs 55/- respectively, the apps can be downloaded on your Windows Phone 8.
