1. Check Your Dashboard

The My Gita dashboard is the quickest way to see what you have already started. It summarizes Concept quiz progress, Sanskrit vocabulary progress, Gita flairs, Gita notes, and recent quiz activity. It also displays your current and longest study streaks, complete with milestone achievements represented by beautiful Krishna or Radha mascot themes.

If you are signed in, open My Gita and use the top tabs to navigate between the Dashboard, Study (Read, Quiz, Vocab, Flairs, Notes), Friends, Groups, Journey, and Settings.

The dashboard gives you a compact summary of your saved learning activity and streaks.

2. Read Gita Shlokas

The core of your study is reading the Bhagavad Gita chapters. In the reading view, you can read Sanskrit shlokas, their transliteration, word-by-word Sanskrit-to-English meanings, translations, and detailed explanations.

For easy navigation, use the floating Chapter Section Switcher at the bottom of the page to jump directly to specific shloka ranges. While reading, you can write personal study notes or assign flairs to any shloka when signed in.

Read verses and browse sections smoothly using the floating section switcher.

3. Use Concept Quizzes

Concept quizzes help you review the meaning of each chapter section. They are useful after reading a group of shlokas because they check whether the main ideas are clear.

From My Gita, open Concept progress to see chapter-by-chapter completion. You can also begin from the public Concept quizzes page.

Concept quiz cards show whether each section is done, in progress, or not started.

4. Build Sanskrit Vocabulary

Sanskrit vocabulary practice helps you recognize repeated Gita words. My Gita tracks unique words learned across chapter sections, so progress can grow steadily even when you study in small sessions.

Open Vocabulary progress from My Gita, or start directly from Sanskrit vocabulary quizzes.

Vocabulary progress focuses on Sanskrit words learned, not only quiz completion.

5. Save Shlokas with Flairs

Gita flairs let you categorize and save shlokas that resonate with you or require study. You can assign three types of flairs to any shloka page or chapter page:

• Favorite: Mark verses you love or find particularly inspiring.
• Memorizing: Tag verses you are currently committing to memory.
• Memorized: Mark verses you have successfully memorized to track your memorization progress.

You can filter and manage all your saved verses in one place under Gita flairs.

Flairs make it easier to structure your memorization and return to verses that matter.

6. Keep Personal Study Notes

Gita notes are for your own reflections. You can keep private notes at the chapter level or for a specific verse, then return to them from My Gita.

Open Gita notes to review saved notes. When studying a chapter or shloka, use notes for questions, personal reflections, or reminders from your reading.

Notes help you keep chapter reflections and verse-specific observations together.

7. Track Your Journey

The Journey tracker allows you to self-evaluate and record your level of understanding for each of the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita on a 5-point scale:

• Interested: Blank slate. Haven’t started this chapter yet, but interested to learn.
• Introduced: First pass complete. Read through the text, but concepts haven’t fully stuck yet.
• Informed: Understand the mechanics. Know the core arguments, major shlokas, and overarching theme.
• Insightful: Deep comprehension. Grasp the philosophy, why it matters, and can apply its logic.
• Instructional: Mastery. Understand it deeply enough to comfortably explain or teach it to someone else.

Updating your Journey progress helps you visually track your spiritual and philosophical growth.

Assess and update your understanding levels across all 18 chapters on the Journey tab.

8. Connect with Friends

Study is more rewarding when shared. In the Friends section, you can add friends using their username handles to build your trusted study network.

Once connected, you can view each friend’s public profile, their study stats, and their reading frequency narrative. You can also discover and connect with friends of friends directly from their profile pages.

Connect with other learners, view progress, and grow your study network.

9. Join Study Groups

Groups allow you to create or join study circles for collective Gita learning.

Within a group, members can compare learning progress side-by-side. Group owners can also select an active quiz or vocabulary section as the “Group Live Quiz”, letting all members see and track real-time quiz results, rankings, and section progress together.

Form study groups to sync live quiz progress and discuss the Gita together.

10. Manage Settings

Under Settings, you can manage your My Gita profile preferences:

• Update your Display Name and customize your public Username Handle (which remains synchronized).
• Configure Daily Gita Email Updates to opt into automated reminders and Remind-Me-to-Study updates.
• Reset your quiz progress or delete your account if needed.
• Select your preferred mascot theme (Krishna or Radha) which alters the visuals and email headers throughout your learning workspace.

Configure your reminders, theme preference, display names, and password under settings.
