SyroMalabar Praarthanakal

Tedy Kanjirathinkal

About this app

A collection of Malayalam Liturgy of the Hours ( Yaama Praarthanakal / യാമപ്രാര്‍ത്ഥനകള്‍ ) and Sacramentals (കൂദാശാനുകരണങ്ങൾ) used in the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church. For your convenience, the app employs algorithms to determine the prayer combinations to be used for each day (based on the nine Liturgical seasons, position of weeks, and day of the week) and presents you with a ready-to-read fully-composed text off the screen.

A mobile ministry of http://praarthana.org, this app has all the seven prayers: Ramsha, Leliya, Sapra, Qala d-Shahra, Qutta aa, Endana and d-Bassa Sayin, as well as al major Sacramentals such as blessings, Oppees etc.

The app also includes a convenient night reading mode to help read comfortably in the dark, like when reciting the late night or early morning prayers in solitude. The text size can also be increased or decreased per your convenience, and both these can be accessed via the Floating Action Button at bottom right corner of the application.

The prayer text also includes a play button, which turns your device into a teleprompter, enabling you to pray without the constant scrolling gestures on the phone. The feature can be used in conjunction with a big screen television or a projector for an entire gathering to comfortably say the prayers.

Ratings and reviews

This is a very useful app. I recommend it for everyone. I suggest that you should keep adding more features to the app. All the features are good. I liked the app very much. One suggestion. The Manglish feature is only available for 'yaamaprarthanakal'. You can also use the feature for 'koodasha anukaranangal'. That feature would be great.

It is a dream come true. Thanking God for this innovative app which made it possible for lay people like us to partake in the official prayers of the catholic church from wherever we are. Appreciating the thoughts and the effort behind this endeavor. Use of this app among the laity should be promoted. There is not much awareness about this among lay people like us. There are minor errors which if corrected, would lead to perfection. God bless.

It's amazing, easy to access. Asmall request would be if there could be an option to have the Manglish version also made available. This will help to address a larger group who are still picking up Malayalam language and still be able to access the prayer and songs. It's difficult to get Manglish hardcopy but with the tech improvement Malayalam to Manglish could be made easier to access. At least softcopy for quick access. Thank you for wonderful App.👍
