v2.4.1 Share one line of your reading #

Any one line of your reading can now become a card of its own: the question under your dilemma, the verse, the call, or a line Sarathi wrote back to you. The card never carries your words, only the line and the Gita behind it. And each path now says its cost in a breath, right on its row.

  • NewShare this line: under the question, the verse, the call and each Sarathi reply, one tap makes a card that never carries your words.
  • NewEach path's row now says its cost in a few words; the full sentence stays on the path's card.

v2.4.0 Your reading, one chapter at a time #

A reading now opens one chapter at a time: what you said, the Gita, your paths, what to do and your first step, each a tap from the next. After the call comes what could go wrong and the likeliest reason, every path is scored on the eight Gita lenses, and your first step waits for a moment you pick. Hold a path and a sheet shows it at peace: a short scene from a few weeks ahead, written from your own words.

  • NewThe reading opens chapter by chapter: what you said, the Gita, your paths, what to do, your first step. The menu shows the whole reading at once.
  • NewAfter the call: what could go wrong, and the likeliest reason. Add your own and Sarathi answers it.
  • NewFor the overthinker: every path scored on the eight Gita lenses, with a karma score for each. The scores read the paths, never you.
  • NewYour first step waits for a moment you pick: one Sarathi suggests, or your own.
  • NewOn a free reading, holding a path opens a sheet that shows it at peace: a short scene from a few weeks ahead, written from your own words, and how Pro walks it with you.
v2.3.33 The first screen says what you get #

On the pages where most people arrive, the dilemma box, one line on what a reading gives you and the button now sit on the first screen, with a reading to read underneath. Creating an account is shorter: e-mail and a password, or Google, and the page says plainly that no card is needed and your words stay private.

  • ImprovedThe theme pages open on the dilemma box and one line on what you get.
  • ImprovedCreating an account asks for less and says no card is needed.
v2.3.32 Our ads measurement, explained plainly #

The privacy page now says exactly what our ads measurement shares and what it never does: after you accept cookies, Meta learns that a sign-up came from an ad, matched by a one-way code of the e-mail you typed; it never receives your dilemma, your reading or anything you write to Sarathi.

  • ImprovedThe privacy page states what the Meta pixel shares, and what it never does.
v2.3.31 A reading keeps going while a new version goes live #

When a new version of KarmaLens goes live, a reading that is already running now gets more time to finish before the previous server steps aside. Behind the scenes, where each reader first found KarmaLens is now recorded with more care, so the people building it can see what truly helps.

  • ImprovedA reading in progress gets more time to finish while a new version goes live.
  • ImprovedWhere each reader first found KarmaLens is recorded with more care.
v2.3.30 A reading in progress finishes, whatever happens behind it #

The servers behind KarmaLens renew themselves through the day. A reading that is running now finishes before its server steps aside, and the page shows it the way it always has; nothing you typed is lost.

  • ImprovedA reading in progress finishes before its server renews itself.
v2.3.29 Every verse now says where it points #

Under every verse the reading quotes, a new note says how that teaching reads your dilemma and how it bears on the option the reading leans to, named word for word. A second, independent check reads every note before it reaches you. The same notes are printed in your Decision Record.

  • NewWhere it points: under each verse, how the teaching reads your dilemma and how it bears on the option the reading leans to.
  • NewBoth notes under the verse are printed in the Decision Record.
  • ImprovedOpen your confirmation link a second time, from another app or browser, and the page says your e-mail is confirmed and takes you on to sign in.
v2.3.28 Every category page opens on a complete reading #

Each category page now opens on one real reading, carried step by step to its close the way Pro carries yours, with the dilemma box right under it. The Sanskrit of twenty-five verses renders exactly as written. The price line reads the same on every page, in the reading's own words; the billing page says it plainly; and the privacy page says exactly what is kept after you delete your account.

  • NewA real reading on every category page, followed to its close.
  • ImprovedTwenty-five verses' Sanskrit renders exactly as written.
  • ImprovedOne price line everywhere, in the reading's own words.
  • ImprovedAfter you delete your account, your payment records keep only unreadable fingerprints of your e-mail and phone.
v2.3.27 A deleted reading goes quiet at once #

Deleting a reading now stops every message about it, even one already on its way to you.

  • ImprovedDeleting a reading stops every message about it, even one already on its way.
v2.3.26 The call speaks to you #

The reading's call always addresses you directly. Rerun a past reading with new words and a full reading starts at once. Sign in with Google and it recognises your Google account itself, so a changed address still lands in your own account. The trial line says the trial and the price in one breath. Deleting a reading, clearing them all, or closing your account finishes in one step, and nothing about a deleted reading reaches you afterwards. The light theme's accent text reads cleanly on every public page.

  • ImprovedThe call always addresses you, never your own words read back at you.
  • ImprovedRerunning a past reading with new words starts a full reading at once.
  • ImprovedGoogle sign-in recognises your Google account itself; a changed address still finds your account.
  • ImprovedThe trial line says the trial and the price, nothing else.
  • ImprovedDelete a reading, clear them all, or close your account in one step; nothing about a deleted reading reaches you afterwards.
  • ImprovedThe accent text on every public page passes the contrast floor in the light theme.
v2.3.25 Type your dilemma first; the reading starts the moment you are in #

The dilemma box sits on the home page on every phone. Write there, sign up with your e-mail or one tap on Google, and your first reading starts at once with your words already in place; confirm your e-mail from your inbox whenever you like. Past readings now show the dilemma you wrote, on the page and in the PDF.

  • NewGoogle sign-in in one tap, straight into the reading.
  • ImprovedEach past reading shows your dilemma, on its page and in its PDF.
  • ImprovedOne Pro price line on the reading, and a compact pill at the Sarathi cap.
v2.3.24 Sarathi's count, said once #

When your free Sarathi messages on a reading are used, the page says so in one place: the Pro element carries the count and the header steps back, whether you reach the cap mid-conversation or come back to the reading later.

  • ImprovedAt the Sarathi cap the header no longer repeats the count beside the Pro element.
v2.3.23 A quieter held step #

The step you hold now says only what matters: it stays open until you mark it done, at your pace. The home page's "While it is open" step uses the reading's own words, and the pricing cards say the same.

  • ImprovedThe held step on your reading says only what it is: open until you mark it done, at your pace.
  • ImprovedThe home page's "While it is open" step shows the reading's own two choices: mark it done, or ask Sarathi a doubt.
v2.3.22 A Sunday letter from Gaurav #

Once a week, to everyone who keeps the weekly mail on: one real reading of a dilemma we wrote, word for word, in Gaurav's own words, with the one question Sarathi asked first and the call it made. Make your own call, then see if KarmaLens agrees. Reply and it reaches him.

  • NewThe Sunday letter: one real reading a week, in English or Hinglish, signed by Gaurav.
  • ImprovedEvery control on your journal is a comfortable tap on a phone.
  • ImprovedThe FAQ names the free trial only where you can take it, and says plainly how to cancel Pro.
  • ImprovedThe privacy page says what the weekly mail is and when it goes.
v2.3.21 Pro, right where you need it next #

Pro now appears at the moment it helps on a free reading: after the call, on an option you explore, when your first step is held, and when your free messages are used. Each time it says what it gives you, with one honest line on the price. Every Sarathi message shows how many free ones you have left.

  • NewOne Pro element at each moment of the reading: the Council's second look at the call, an option in depth, every next step, Sarathi with no limit.
  • NewA small count on every Sarathi message shows your free messages left on this dilemma.
  • ImprovedThe wait screen says what Pro adds after the call.
v2.3.20 Pro wears a look of its own, and every line speaks with one voice #

Wherever Pro appears, it now carries one quiet, finer look: thin, light and a little smaller, set apart from the reading itself, which keeps its strong voice and its buttons. And every word you read from KarmaLens, on the site and in every mail, says what it does and what you get, in one confident voice.

  • NewPro has a look of its own on every Pro line and card: thin, light and quiet, so the reading stays the main thing and Pro reads as the finer tier.
  • ImprovedEvery line from KarmaLens, on the site and in every mail, speaks in one confident voice about what it does and what you get.
  • ImprovedThe invite link on your journal sits in a proper field: the whole link visible, and Copy right below it on a phone.
  • ImprovedA sealed reading sits exactly within your phone's width, every card in its place.
v2.3.19 Sarathi stays with you after a dilemma is closed #

If a closed dilemma comes back at 2 a.m., Sarathi answers you on the record: what the call rested on, what you did, and what you wrote when it ended. It opens the dilemma again only when you ask.

  • NewIf a closed dilemma comes back at 2 a.m., Sarathi answers you on the record, and opens it again if you ask.
  • ImprovedThe Decision Record (PDF) carries your steps and how each one went.
  • ImprovedYour journal shows where each dilemma stands: the open step, the done step, or the day it was settled.
  • ImprovedThe pricing page shows the two plans side by side, with the one point that matters: Pro writes every step until your dilemma is closed.
  • ImprovedSarathi's free allowance is now simply 4 messages per dilemma. On Pro there is no limit.
v2.3.18 Your first step waits for you: mark it done when it is done #

The first step of a reading is held at your pace. When you tap Done and say how it went, Sarathi writes the next step from your words, or closes the dilemma when nothing is left to decide.

  • NewYour first step waits for you: hold it, and mark it done when it is done.
  • ImprovedEvery step after the first, written from how the last one went, is part of Pro.
  • ImprovedYou can close a dilemma yourself, and Sarathi closes it when nothing is left to decide.
v2.3.17 Older posts say how a reading works today #

Posts written in the earlier scoring method open with a short, dated note on how a reading works today, and thirteen titles no longer speak of scores or verdicts.

  • ImprovedPosts written in the earlier scoring method open with a short, dated note on how a reading works today; thirteen titles no longer speak of scores or verdicts.
  • ImprovedUnder the hood: one founder command adds the note, retitles the posts and lands four hand edits, each once, each with a revert.
v2.3.16 Older blog posts, brought up to today's reading #

The posts written when KarmaLens worked differently now describe the reading as it works today, and the tool that updates them tries once more when a rewrite is refused.

  • ImprovedBlog posts describe a reading that asks the decisive facts first and makes one call, instead of a score on fixed lenses.
  • ImprovedUnder the hood: the blog tool retries a refused rewrite once with the reason named, and catches a lens 'scoring' anything, whatever the count.
v2.3.15 The trial, said plainly to everyone #

The sign-up and delete pages say exactly what the Pro trial is, and the pricing and billing pages tell a returning e-mail there is no second trial.

  • ImprovedThe sign-up page says the trial is for a new e-mail address; the delete page says a started trial stays used for this e-mail.
  • ImprovedThe pricing and billing pages, and the menu, tell a returning e-mail there is no second trial.
  • ImprovedUnder the hood: a founder control to clear a trial-ledger row, so a trial can be re-tested on one e-mail.
v2.3.14 Speak in any language; a changelog that keeps up #

The microphone hears Hindi, English or Hinglish without a language choice, this page now lists every release with its time, and the Pro trial is once per e-mail.

  • NewTap the mic and speak. KarmaLens detects the language; Hindi arrives in Roman letters, with one tap to Devanagari, and your choice is remembered.
  • NewWhat's new is a release changelog: one row per version, times in IST, the newest open, a dot on the link and a line on your journal when something is new, and a feed to follow.
  • ImprovedThe 14-day Pro trial is once per e-mail address. Deleting the account does not reset it, and the privacy page says what is kept.
v2.3.13 Blog categories, on today's reading #

The blog's category pages now describe the reading as it works today.

  • ImprovedBlog category pages describe the eight lenses as a way of looking at a decision, never as a score.
  • ImprovedUnder the hood: a tool for the founder to bring older blog posts up to date one paragraph at a time, never adding or changing a verse.
v2.3.12 Every page describes today's reading #

The guide, the FAQ and the other pages now match the reading you get, and the privacy page says what we record about visits.

  • ImprovedHow to read your result, What you get, the FAQ and the situation pages describe today's reading: the facts first, one call or a plain word on why it can't be made yet, the first step with a date, two to four options with their cost, and a verse only where one fits.
  • ImprovedThe PDF of a reading is free on earlier readings too.
  • ImprovedYou can delete your account yourself, and the FAQ and privacy page now say how.

  • ImprovedYour journal shows how many readings you've had this month and in all, with no cap, in place of the old usage meter.

v2.3.9 Where you came from, said plainly #

v2.3.5 A fitting verse on more readings #

A Gita verse now appears on more readings, and fits better when it does.

Earlier Monthly notes, as first written 16 updates

New October 2026

Pro: one plan, with a free trial first

Pro is now the one plan: a Deep Reading on every option of every reading, Walk With Me and the Council every week, and Sarathi without a cap. It starts with a free trial, and readings stay free either way. Today's price is on the pricing page.

New October 2026

Say it instead of typing it

Tap the mic on the dilemma box and speak your dilemma in Hindi, English or Hinglish. The words land in the box for you to edit before you analyse; the audio is not kept.

New October 2026

A new face, and readings that are free with an account

Readings are free: every reading comes with free chats with Sarathi to start, more after each check-in, and your Decision Record as a PDF, free. The home page now shows one real reading, word for word, so you see what you get before you write. Everything paid is one payment on one reading: a Sarathi Session, Walk With Me after you hold the call, or the Council Reading for the hardest calls. The earlier one-time packs are no longer sold. Today's prices are on the pricing page. Retired on 2026-10-13: nothing is sold one at a time any more; Pro is the one plan, see the pricing page.

New September 2026

A reading that decides — and holds you to it

Every reading now asks for the facts that matter first, then makes one call: the first step with a date, two to four options with what each costs, and a Gita verse only where one genuinely fits. End it with a commitment, and Sarathi checks in when the day comes.

New August 2026

When your free readings run out: 5 more, yours forever

Free readings now end with an option, not a wall. A one-time Reading Bundle adds 5 more readings that never expire — used automatically when you run out, and publishing a reading to the gallery still earns bonus readings free. Two more things, said plainly: the Sarathi Wallet now carries 4 sessions, and your first session is priced below every session after. Retired: readings are no longer metered; see the pricing page. The Wallet was withdrawn on 2026-10-09. The gallery bonus was retired the same day.

New August 2026

Your reading now ends with a question — and a Sarathi to answer it

Every verdict now opens a conversation: your Sarathi asks the question the reading leaves open, and you can answer right there — four exchanges free on every reading. When a dilemma needs longer, a Sarathi Session continues it: 48 hours, unlimited, on that one dilemma. Retired on 2026-10-13: nothing is sold one at a time any more; Pro is the one plan, see the pricing page.

Improved August 2026

Simpler pricing: pay only to continue

The reading stays free. Everything paid is now one-time, on a single dilemma: a Sarathi Session continues the conversation until it's resolved, and Walk With Me adds a week of daily check-ins after you decide. No subscriptions, nothing renews. If you subscribed before, your plan keeps working exactly as it did. Today's prices are on the pricing page. Retired on 2026-10-13: nothing is sold one at a time any more; Pro is the one plan, see the pricing page.

Improved July 2026

Smoother on your phone

The menu button now sits beside the logo, and the menu scrolls all the way down. On the home page, the rotating headline turns quicker — and you can swipe it left or right yourself. The home page has since been redesigned (September 2026).

New July 2026

Your first reading, before you even sign up

Type your dilemma right on the home page and get your first reading — no account, no forms. When you create a free account, that reading is waiting for you, saved exactly as it was — and it doesn't use up your free readings. Retired on 2026-09-28: readings now need a free account.

New July 2026

Share a reading, beautifully

Tap Share and your reading gets its own card page — the insight and the verse — with a rich preview wherever you send it. Your dilemma text is never on it, and you can remove the page anytime.

New July 2026

Ask your reading anything

Every reading now comes with a companion you can talk to — ask how the verse applies to you, why a dimension scored the way it did, or what the higher path really asks of you. It knows your reading, and only your reading. Since 2026-09-28 Sarathi answers on the new reading: the call, your options and the verse.

New July 2026

Take your reading with you

Keep any reading as a clean, beautifully formatted PDF — the verse in Sanskrit, Hindi, and English included — a one-time unlock on the reading, yours to print or return to when the moment comes back around. Retired on 2026-10-13: the PDF is free on every reading.

Improved July 2026

A Gita verse for more of your dilemmas

KarmaLens now surfaces a fitting Bhagavad Gita verse for far more situations — not just the clear-cut ones. When a verse genuinely speaks to your dilemma, you see it verbatim alongside the reading. And when none truly fits, you still get the closest teaching reflected back — a question to sit with, never a verse forced to fit. Since 2026-09-28, when none fits you see the nearest verse, named as the nearest, or the honest reason none fits.

New July 2026

Your next move, in your inbox

Finish a reading and we'll email you the higher path — the one concrete step worth taking next — so the clarity doesn't fade the moment you close the tab.

Improved June 2026

Clarify in your own words — pick as many as fit

When a dilemma needs more context, you can now select every option that applies, not just one, before you re-analyze. The verdict sharpens as your situation gets clearer. Since 2026-09-28 the reading asks for the facts first, one question at a time, and makes one call.

New June 2026

The Gita's Mirror

When no single verse fits your situation, KarmaLens now reflects the closest teaching back to you — with a question to sit with, not an answer to obey. Retired on 2026-09-28: when no verse fits, you see the nearest verse, named as the nearest, or the honest reason none fits.
