The Guru App is the result of a true collaboration by all sections of the society of Bhutan. Bringing citizens, IT professionals, youth, elderly, practitioners and all walks of life together.
Building an app for all
App development is only 30% about technology, 70% is about the human factor. In an age where it seems that technology divides and opposes the developers of the Guru App bring a different approach and perspective. Making a purposeful product mindfully.
GEIPL (Green E-Integrated Pvt. Ltd.) is a company born out of the passion from the youth of Bhutan to bring Bhutan's values and traditions to the world through technology,
Part of the app’s purpose is to help preserve the tradition of vocal mantra recitations. Practitioners from various sites across Bhutan have graciously contributed their voices, allowing everyone to take part in this extraordinary experience.
To transcend our human nature when making prayers for peace we went to Bhutan's most sacred site and request that all our efforts bring benefit to all sentient beings. At Tiger's Nest the project was blessed with the support of a long lineage of compassion and devotion to all.
