Hari OM
Sounds-day is for listening/viewing a variety of devotional items from and for all ages and traditions.
Usually on this day, there is presented choral music, bhajans or chants of various kinds. Today, though, as a start to the year and in keeping with Vedanta, you are offered a movie! A very special movie. It is made entirely in conversational Sanskrit and is a narrative of the great sage, Adi Shankara. English subtitles are there, but it is pleasant just to listen to the flow of the language and to hear some of the chanting. We saw a 'nutshell' biography of Bhashya Kaara yesterday, and here is another exploration of his life.
Enjoy it for what it is, but also keep an ear to the sound of Sanskrit.
