Witness the emotional moment when Shakuntala, accompanied by her young son, approaches Dushyanta in his royal court, seeking recognition for herself and their child.

    @nikhilpanchal1769 Місяць тому

    Can i get a answer? Why people pronounce wrong? Its Mahabharat, Vedvyas. Not mahabharata, Vedvyasa. Why indians are mispronouncing the indian words?

    • @KathaYogam
      @KathaYogam Місяць тому

      Hi Nikhil. Good question. Based on the region, the pronunciation changes. Since people have owned these epics so much that they refer to the names frequently as part of retelling the story and adapting names according to their language, accent and slang. For example, Mahabhat is also popularly called Mahabharatam in southern India.

    • @suvendukumarbastia1725
      @suvendukumarbastia1725 Місяць тому

      No its not about region man....its habbitof follow English accent....i have never seen any problem in pronouncing problem in south asia region...please dont coverup on name of region...our grammar is totally different than English and more than capabled to pronounce these words

    • @KathaYogam
      @KathaYogam Місяць тому

      Good point. When narrating in English I could be adapting some names to suit the language of narration. But is that a bad thing? The main intention is telling a great epic and learning Dharma from some of the most inspiring characters. However, the examples here in the comments are "Vyasa" and "Mahabharata", which are not names for English adaptations. They are from Indian pronunciations. You are free to disagree based on your experiences though.

      @suvendukumarbastia1725 Місяць тому

    • @KathaYogam
      @KathaYogam Місяць тому

      Absolutely. And I want to appreciate your intentions here along with your time. But again, my point is that the essence of the way of life thought by Mahabharat is the main intention. Few will see this as a way to learn Dharma, few will watch it for the drama and emotions and few will see it as irrelevant stories. I can only tell what I believe in and strive my best to get as much right information as possible. Rest is up to the listener. If I call Veda Vyas as Veda Vyasa, or Mahabharat as Mahabharata or Mahabharatam, I don't see any harm in anyone learning this name if they are seeing it for the first time.

      Thanks for your comment. Sanathana Dharma teaches that everyone (including Gods) are rewarded for good deeds and punished for bad deeds. These stories reinforce these teachings and should inspire people who listen to them to follow a righteous path.
