The Sanskrit Channel - in conversation a Sanskrit linguist & content creator Udaya Shreyas
Let's Talk YogaAbout this episode
Do you know there’s a Sanskrit channel on YouTube that’s phenomenal? Whether you think Sanskrit is a dead language or you’re intrigued by it. Today’s episode is fire. I’m chatting with Udaya Shreyas. A Sanskrit linguist, & the director & (much loved) host of THE SANSKRIT CHANNEL on YouTube. We chat about the birth of his channel. Why he fell in love with Sanskrit & how he gave up a promising career at Google to become a professional YouTuber. I also quiz Uday about some of the most popularly asked questions about Sanskrit. Like… What are the origins of Sanskrit? Why is Sanskrit the language of the gods? What did the British rule do to Sanskrit? What’s the right pronunciation of Sanskrit? Significance of pronunciation in Sanskrit Reasons why Sanskrit is not “mainstream” Stories about the origin of the Sanskrit language Why yoga sutras are interpreted in different ways How do you study Sanskrit if interested? TBH I’ve been wanting to talk to Uday for a long time. Having dabbled in YouTube myself briefly it's no small feat what he has achieved as a digital content creator. I can’t wait for you to tune in, hear his story. And as soon as you do finish the episode…make sure you do these two things… Subscribe, & support The Sanskrit Channel Leave a 5-star review for the Let’s Talk Yoga Podcast You can find all the resources mentioned in this episode in the show notes at https://letstalk.yoga/ Connect with us on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/arundhati_baitmangalkar / Join our exclusive Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/letstalkyoga Join our mailing list: https://www.aham.yoga/instagram-2021 for all episodes.
