Vandana
वंदना — to worship, to praise
Vandana is a free, modern worship lyrics app built for the Indian church. Every song is available in both Hinglish (Roman transliteration) and Hindi (Devanagari script), so every member of a congregation — regardless of literacy in either script — can follow along and worship together.
The app includes a full-screen Presentation Mode designed for worship leaders to display lyrics on screens during services, a Setlist Builder for planning worship sets, and a fuzzy search across song titles, lyrics, artists, and ministries.
The Song Library
The library contains 80+ Hindi and Hinglish worship songs from Indian Christian ministries, including original compositions and Hindi translations of internationally known worship songs. Songs span themes of praise, intercession, declaration, and devotion.
Featured ministries and artists include:
- Isus Christos Ministries (ICM) — Ps. Arul Thomas & Dr. Mahima John Arul
- Ankit Sajwan Ministries — FOLJ Church
- Bridge Music
- Nations of Worship
- Various Indian Christian worship artists
Isus Christos Ministries (ICM)
Vandana was built with the blessing of Isus Christos Ministries (ICM), an Indian Christian ministry led by Ps. Arul Thomas and Dr. Mahima John Arul. ICM's original worship compositions form a significant part of the Vandana library, and the app was created as a personal offering to their congregation and the wider Indian worship community.
"Isus Christos" (ईसुस क्रिस्तोस) is the transliteration of "Jesus Christ" used in Indian Christian traditions — a name declared over every song in this library.
Creator
Vandana was designed and developed by Gaurav Kumar — The Algothrim, a developer and church member. The app is a non-commercial, personal gift to the Indian worship community — free to use, with no ads, no subscriptions, and no data collection.
All song lyrics are the property of their respective artists and ministries, reproduced here for congregational and personal worship use.
