Navigate Vedas

Navigate Vedas is a Chrome extension that streamlines the study of ancient Indian scriptures, specifically the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. Designed for students, devotees, and casual readers, it adds a floating control panel to your browser, allowing you to jump directly to any canto, chapter, or verse without manually scrolling or editing complex URLs. The extension is lightweight, privacy-focused, and optimized for modern web applications.

Core Features

• Instant Floating Navigator: A peach-themed button and input form sit unobtrusively in the corner of your browser. Click or tab to it, type your desired location, and press Enter to navigate instantly. The form closes with the Escape key for convenience.
• Smart Scripture Detection: When you visit the Bhagavad Gita on supported sites, the extension shows fields for Chapter and Verse. On Srimad Bhagavatam pages, it automatically adds a Canto field, adapting to the scripture's structure without manual switching.
• Seamless SPA Compatibility: The extension works flawlessly with Single Page Applications like VedaBase, enabling fast navigation without full-page reloads. This is essential for sites that use client-side routing to load content dynamically.
• Accessibility and Dark Mode Friendly: High-contrast inputs, readable placeholders, and clear keyboard focus indicators ensure usability for all. WCAG AA/AAA compliance makes it suitable for users with visual impairments or those relying on keyboard navigation.
• Lightweight and Safe: No tracking scripts, no third-party dependencies, and minimal impact on browser performance. The extension loads quickly and respects your privacy.

The extension is tailored exclusively for two sites: VedaBase (https://vedabase.io) and Holy Bhagavad Gita (https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org). It is not affiliated with these websites but enhances their functionality. A step-by-step guide is available online to help new users get started. Navigate Vedas is ideal for anyone who regularly studies these texts and wants to save time by jumping directly to specific passages.
