The Gāyatrī Mantra is among the most revered verses in the Vedic tradition — a prayer to the light of understanding, traditionally chanted at the sandhyā hours of dawn and dusk. Many upāsakas keep a daily count: a mālā of 108, a fuller 1,008, or a purashcharaṇa vow of many lakhs over forty days.
Keeping that count by hand is a quiet burden — beads in one hand, the mind half on the number. NaamAmrit was built to carry it for you. Chant the Gāyatrī and the app counts by listening — no taps, no beads, no special hardware — while every repetition stays entirely on your phone.
Malas, sandhyā, and a vow you can keep
NaamAmrit counts in malas: every 108 completes a round with a gentle chime and haptic, so you feel the mālā turn without looking. Set a daily goal, or take a Sankalp — a vow of a total by a date — and the app tracks it to completion, including the classical Gāyatrī purashcharaṇa preset (24 lakh over 40 days).
The app honors the sandhyā rhythm too: a hushed line invites you to open at dawn and close at dusk, the hours the Gāyatrī is traditionally offered.
Your japa stays between you and the mantra
The listening happens entirely on your phone. Your voice is never recorded, never uploaded, never used to train anything — only the count is kept, and the app works fully offline. There are no ads on any plan, ever. A guru-given mantra can even be sealed, counted but never shown or stored.

Questions upāsakas ask
Can it count a 108 or 1,008 Gāyatrī japa automatically?
Yes. Pick your mālā style — 27, 54, 108, or a full 1,008 — and chant. With Say it the app recognizes each repetition for an exact count; with Chant it counts by sound so it keeps working with the screen off and the phone in your pocket. Every mālā completes with a gentle chime and haptic.
Does it support a Gāyatrī purashcharaṇa vow?
Yes. The Sankalp screen has a Gāyatrī purashcharaṇa preset (24 lakh over 40 days) that prefills the naam, total, and days — all still editable — and then tracks your progress to completion.
Can I chant at dawn with the screen off?
Yes — that's what Chant mode is for. Say the Gāyatrī and it counts by sound with the screen off and the phone locked. If you want bead-exact precision, Say it and the tap counter are precise to the count.
Is my chanting recorded?
Never. The listening runs entirely on your device — no audio is recorded, uploaded, or used to train anything. Only your counts are saved, and the app works fully offline.
