SRF/YSS Lessons

Having this app is a blessing. Overall I am thrilled by it. I was traveling when Lesson One was mailed, and was very grateful to be able to read it on my device. The people around me in the airport were no doubt startled by my whoop of delight when Lesson One appeared! Here are a few items for your future consideration: The first day, I was being prompted to sign in multiple times, being told I had “timed out” after just a couple of hours of app use but am hoping that with the update, this has been corrected. Second, the highlighting worked well except when the material was at the bottom of the page. To highlight that, I had to change the font size to reformat the text to bring it higher up on the page, highlight it, then reformat again to the font size best suited to my eyes. This was of course a minor issue overall when weighed against the value of having portal lessons, but is on my wish list. Finally, my ideal lesson app would include a way to make notes (like the Nook and Kindle apps do) on selected passages, and also a full display of highlighted passages not just the first line or two. What a blessing this app is! Thank you for all the loving work that went into developing and providing this for us.

The idea and physical implementation of the new lessons is beyond great. It is early in the life of this new app and perhaps there is a plan to address this later, but there is a real issue now, in my opinion. To me the biggest benefit to the app is to have all of the appropriately authorized material with you anywhere and anytime. The problem is that for some reason the app will automatically log itself out at least daily. As long as you are connected to the internet this is an inconvenience but not a showstopper. The problem is that most of my reading is via my iPad for obvious reasons. The iPad needs a WiFi network to connect to the internet so it is often not connected when out of the house. So when I am away from the house and want to read some of the lessons material there is no way to log in to get to the material. This is the showstopper part that needs to be addressed to make the app totally great. There are many ways to address the needed material security and still have the authorized material available all the time. I hope this gets fixed to address the availability issue.

Thank you for all of the thought and work that went into the app. It looks like some of the foundational issues people have expressed around the readability are being addressed. Thank you for being so responsive! Updating now. The guided meditations and truly all the content have been awe-inspiring! Jai Guru! As for the “terrible” review, I’d ask that devotee to find the joy and power in “starting over” with these incredibly expanded and reorganized lessons. Do you trust all the visionaries and devotees behind this process? I’m finding immense inspiration, depth, and hopefully greater attunement with our beloved guru and his teachings by pacing with the new system. There are more subtle points of the sadhana I’m discovering for the first time, and there’s no limit to how Master’s teachings can be practiced.

Thank you to all of you dear souls who have worked on this app. So grateful to have all of our Guruji’s teachings with us wherever we go. And the auxiliary content is so wonderful. And going to get even better over the years! Thank you so much for all you are doing for us! One thought... hoping to see more of the world family members in the pictures in the lessons... Hoping Guruji’s devotees in Latin America, Asia, Africa, India, etc... are represented in the animations and pictures in the lessons and on the auxiliary content and voice recordings etc... want to see all the beautiful costumes and voices God made for His souls represented! Happy to see more of that on the website.. would love it to extend to the lessons and app. Thank you all again! Aum, aum, aum.

I wish we had downward scrolling instead of flipping the page. It becomes very difficult to read the bottom of the page. This feature is available in kindle and all other apps and enjoy it while reading Gurujis book on those apps. I also miss the Portrait orientation. Specially when you are using the iPad. To hold the iPad vertically becomes tiresome after sometime. While most iPad covers are designed to stand in portrait/horizontal mode. Also being wide we get more text per line and is very helpful. However very grateful to have the lesson’s online and readily available when I travel.
