MAHABHARATA.
1. It looks like the people are bored with twitter now bearing a no-name 'X'! Let me incite you from your slumber with the fantastic unending story par excellence that delineates the very Dharma of which I have been fond of speaking to you ever since I entered 2. into this domain. I started with Valmiki Ramayana which I started elaborately but the way I did it viz. tweeting the original verse in Sanskrit, its word for word meaning and the translation was exhaustive even without explanations (bhaashya),

1. I suddenly felt an urge to retweet some Sanskrit lessons I put out years ago. Let me the outset admit I am no teacher but a student too at some varying level. If I was not thrown out into a Sanskrit-less desert some 60 years ago, I would have been a Sanskrit professor. 2. Now on to my lesson at random. Here we go! Let’s talk about सम्भाषणम् or Listening and Speaking Sanskrit. Initially, when Sanskrit existed, it was not even called Sanskrit, instead it was called भाषा (Bhasha).

1. I wanted to tweet on Hindu Samskaaras but they being exhaustive it discouraged me from even attempting. However I feel it is better to attempt it than not doing at all. @maidros78 @Asangohumm @coralcharm3 @archi_tandewala @watercolourman @CBK2K 2. Hindu Samskaaras have a hoary past and most of them still survive. They are found scattered among the Vedas, Brahmanas, Gruhyasutras, Dharmasutras, smritis and even in PuraNas. In the beginning, if we can ever attempt to trace it, it was natural but soon it became cultural.
