We are building a simple daily practice for people who want to feel closer to Bhagwan but find it hard to start, or hard to keep going. Smaraan is made in Lucknow by Sacred Moments Studio.
स्मरण
smaraṇa
noun, from Sanskrit
Remembering. Keeping God in your mind through the day.
That is all we are trying to help you do.
Most of us want a daily connection with God. Most of us also have jobs, families, phones and long days. Big plans like "I will read the whole Gita" or "I will meditate for an hour" fade after a week.
So Smaraan starts with something smaller. You pick how many days you want to take to finish the Bhagavad Gita, how long you want to meditate, and how many Jaap you want to do. Smaraan turns that into a short list for each day. You finish the list, and the day counts.
The plan belongs to you. If life gets busier, you slow down. If you want more, you speed up. Nothing is lost and nobody is keeping score except you.
A few verses, a few minutes and a mala you can finish are better than a big promise you drop. We design for the day you are tired, not only the day you are inspired.
You choose how fast to go and you can change it at any time. We do not decide how devoted you should be, and we do not rush you.
Every Sanskrit verse comes with a translation written the way a friend would explain it, in everyday English and Hindi. You can always read the original next to it.
These are choices we made on purpose, and we plan to keep them.
Smaraan is made by Sacred Moments Studio, a two-person team. We read what you write to us, and what you tell us shapes what we build next.
