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…
