Sathya Sai Bhajans/Vedas Audio 3.0.4

As a devoted follower of Sathya Sai Baba, I have often pondered the absence of an app dedicated to his revered Bhajans and Vedic Chantings. This contemplation ultimately led to the development of this innovative application.

The app offers users the opportunity to access a comprehensive collection of Sai Bhajans and Vedic Chants for seamless streaming. While I do not claim ownership of the content, it is noteworthy that RadioSai, the official website associated with Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, has graciously permitted the streaming of its material, alongside contributions from several other Sai Bhajans-related websites. My intent is to continually expand the library of available Bhajans for streaming through this platform.

Users can explore various categories, including an all-encompassing section for Bhajans and Vedic Chants. A standout feature is the inclusion of RadioSai's Bhajan Classroom episodes— a section not to be overlooked.

For any inquiries or requests regarding specific Bhajans, a "Question/Request Bhajans" link is provided for communication. I have successfully added numerous requests from users and remain open to incorporating privately recorded Bhajans from Samithis, provided they meet quality standards.

Technical Aspects and Functional Requirements:

• Wi-Fi or Internet connection required for streaming audio content.
• Basic audio player controls are available.
• The application will continue playing music in the background for selected tracks, with automatic playback of subsequent Bhajans if the screen remains on.
• The home button does not close the application; instead, it is recommended to use the back button to exit fully. This action ensures that new content refreshes automatically upon reopening the app.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to my father, Sri SVGD Rayalu, for his relentless dedication in collecting content, particularly in compiling lyrics for many of the Bhajans and Chantings.

Pleased to share some recent updates from version 3.0:

• A LYRICS section has been added, allowing users to view lyrics when available by clicking on the relevant button (currently being developed).
• A new Vedic Chants Audio Section is underway, aiming to feature most of the Prashanthi Mandir Vedic rituals.
• A Hanuman Bhajans Category has also been introduced.

To enhance user experience, notification capabilities have been implemented so that listeners are promptly informed about new features or Bhajans added. This may result in a request for additional permissions as mandated by Google.

Previous Updates from Version 2.0 Include:

• An updated design incorporating left sidebar navigation for mobile devices and enhanced viewing for tablets.
• Introduction of several new Bhajan Categories.
• Addition of RadioSai Bhajan Classroom episodes!
• A homepage feature indicating the last content refresh date and a "Latest Updates" section detailing recent modifications.
• A link prompting users to rate the app—please do so if you enjoy your experience!
• A "SEARCH" feature now included across all categories.

Users are encouraged to be patient during page loads, as content availability may vary significantly.
