Sept 12: Mumbai witnessed the grand launch of the ‘Bhaktidwar Television App’, a platform that brings together devotion, spirituality and modern technology. Legendary bhajan singer and Padma Shri awardee Anup Jalota launched the app and also unveiled its logo. Guests at the event were given a glimpse of the religious and spiritual programs that will soon be available on the platform.
Actors Sandeep Mohan and Sanjay Swaraj from the film and television industry were also present at the launch. Both actors have worked on special shows created for ‘Bhaktidwar’. All the guests and contributors present at the event were felicitated with mementos.
Dinesh Asopa, founder of the ‘Bhaktidwar Television App’, revealed that the project has been a long-cherished dream that took nearly a decade to become a reality.
“I have been working on this app for the last 10 years. Our objective was not merely to create another OTT platform, but to build a digital destination where people can access devotional, spiritual and Sanatan Dharma-related content under one roof. Seeing this dream finally become a reality is a very special moment for me,” said Asopa.
He explained that ‘Bhaktidwar’ will feature religious series, devotional music, mantras, chalisas, spiritual discourses, AI-generated videos, animation content and live telecasts of religious events. The platform aims to take Sanatan culture and spiritual values to audiences in India and across the world through modern technology.
The subscription fee for the app has been kept at just ₹11 per week, making it affordable and accessible to a wider audience.
Speaking at the launch, Padma Shri Anup Jalota praised the initiative and said, “I have myself entered Bhaktidwar. It is not just an app; it is a gateway to devotion, happiness and peace. Today, people are going through stress, anxiety and mental pressure. In such times, remembering God, listening to bhajans and connecting with spirituality can bring true peace to the mind. I believe Bhaktidwar will connect millions of people with spirituality and bring positivity into their lives.”
He further added, “Today’s younger generation is also embracing devotional music and spiritual content. When a person is under stress, there is no greater comfort than remembering God and immersing oneself in devotion. Bhaktidwar is a wonderful initiative that carries this positive thought forward.”
Dinesh Asopa expressed his gratitude to Anup Jalota for his guidance and support, which, he said, played a significant role in bringing the project to life.
Several special series created for ‘Bhaktidwar’ have been directed by filmmaker Jaidev Chakravorty, presenting spiritual themes in a contemporary format while retaining their devotional essence.
The event was hosted by Bhawna Sharma, a well-known anchor associated with Doordarshan Dehradun, who conducted the proceedings of the launch ceremony.
The launch event was also attended by members of Dinesh Asopa’s family and close friends, reflecting the personal journey behind the project. Among those present were his father Jugal Kishore Asopa, his daughters Divya Asopa and Nikita Asopa, and his brother-in-law
Jayesh Mishra, who joined the celebrations and congratulated him on turning his decade-long vision into reality.
Sandeep Mohan and Sanjay Swaraj, who attended the event and have worked on projects for the platform, also appreciated the concept. They noted that in today’s fast-paced and stressful lifestyle, there is a growing need for positive, inspirational and spiritual content.
At a time when a large section of society is dealing with stress, anxiety and emotional pressure, ‘Bhaktidwar Television App’ has been introduced as a digital platform focused on devotion, positivity and inner peace. With the growing interest in religious and spiritual content, the platform aims to reach devotees across India and around the world.
