The other video projects that are on this page are the "Learn to Read Devanagari" series and a future series on Vaisnava melodies on harmonium. There may be possibilities of other video series that will complement the website in the near future.

Learn to Read Devanāgarī Lesson 18: The Letter "Ra"
มุมมอง 2.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Throughout the entire series, the examples with the "ra" were carefully avoided. The letter "ra" is the most common letter in Sanskrit and Hindi. Therefore, vowels combinations with "u", "ū", and "ṛ" form unusual forms. Any cluster beginning with "r" uses a special hook-shaped diacritic called the "repha" placed above the letter it clusters to. Any cluster ending with "ra" appears as a diagona...
Learn to Read Devanāgarī Lesson 17: Consonant Clusters 3: (Special Exceptions)

In addition, some special forms with kka, kta, kra, tta, nna, dya, and special ś combinations with ca, na, ra, and va. In addition, a special vowel cluster is introduced. Several reading and writing examples are provided towards the end o...

มุมมอง 3K6 ปีที่แล้ว
This lesson is an extension of the last lesson. This discusses a general rule on how to combine most consonants to form clusters. For letters with a vertical line built into the letter, remove the vertical line to form the "half-letter form." Specific examples for letters without the vertical line are included, in addition to reading and writing examples.
Learn to Read Devanāgarī Lesson 15: Consonant Clusters 1: Nasal Elements
มุมมอง 3.5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
The most difficult topic in reading Devanagari script (specifically Sanskrit) is consonant clusters. This is the first of three lessons discussing how to combine consonants to form cluster. This lesson discusses how to combine the nasal elements to other letters of its own varga to form nasal clusters. Several reading and writing examples are provided in this video.
Learn to Read Devanāgarī Lesson 14: Anusvāra and Visarga
มุมมอง 7K6 ปีที่แล้ว
In addition to the twelve vowel markings, the Sanskrit language recognizes two addition diacritic markings: the anusvara and visarga. The anusvara is the nasal element, while the visarga is the aspirate element. Both asnuvara and visarga are added to vowel sounds to either nasalize (or produce a light "m" sound) or create a vowel echo using an aspirate. This lesson discusses how to apply anusva...
Learn to Read Devanāgarī Lesson 13: Vowel Markings
มุมมอง 3.7K6 ปีที่แล้ว

Vaisnava Melodies on the Harmonium PILOT Episode 0B: Jaya Radha Madhava (Srila Prabhupada's Tune)
มุมมอง 5K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Hare Krishna! Based on some feedback received, I made another video using a slightly longer tune. It is NOT complete yet. However, I want to get some more feedback before writing a full storyboard, figuring out logistics, and time to record this series. This is a test video for playing "Jaya Radha Madhava" that is sung by Srila Prabhupada before his Bhagavad-gita classes. Once again, any feedba...

These videos are really good. Thank You! It's a really good way to learn...japa. Well done!
Wow! This is super thorough and well organized. Im moving to India soon and I have started to study Hindi. I will be going through this video series to help me learn to read. Appreciate you putting this together!
Learned a lot from you than i did over the years from 2 different teachers and loved the detailed explanation. How to access rest of the lesson, ready to even pay for it 🙏🏻
Great material! It's been difficult for me to find any decent learning source. My husband is Indian and I'd love to learn his language.
the way you are teaching handwriting is not the way i was taught in India or in duolingo, for starters the bar on top is always drawn last.
Really impressed by your pronunciation of Urdu letters. Some of your Urdu words were wrong as you accidentally made them into Sanskrit words, but most of your Urdu letters themselves were pronounced perfectly. Lots of people struggle with zha/j sound in jAlaabAri/zhAlaabAri and even Muslims of Dehli, Lakhnow and Pakistanis struggle with most of the Z sounds as they were originally from Quranic Arabic (still variably used in casual Arabic dialects) and even in perfect Urdu you never pronounced them fully like in Classical Arabic, and yours weren't bad.
This series was immensely helpful for a beginner! आप का बहुत धन्यवाद!
Thank you for this gift (the course). It was unusually clearly and well done.
🙏🙏🙏
Such a great series of videos. Very helpful, very clear and comprehensive. Not like the videos that spend 2 hours on 3 sounds. Not like the videos that just show a chart with transliteration and that's it. Thank you.
and how to write Punani ?
Some insist that PHA is FA
Unbelievably helpful
This is outstanding, thank you!
Lol, studying this after math, can’t help but notice ta, tha, and da, looking like cos like cosine 😂
this channel used to host very useful mrdanga lessons, now they are not showing up/are private. May I please have access to the mrdanga lessons again?
always remember क् = k , क= ka , का = kaa ख्= kh, ख= kha , खा = khaa

thanks for this. feels like a university course and i'm so grateful for your knowledge. have a great day!
If ! Is a sound, WHY ISN’T ? A SOUND?
You are an awesome teacher!!
thanks for explaining it with the descriptors "guttural", "palate" and "labial", other methods are confusing for me and i end up putting sounds of chinese into my russian/hindi, which is definitely not what i want to do, this helped me remember the i sound specifically :D
Hare Kṛṣṇa Please make the mridanga videos available soon
awesome series thank you so much
Why do you do step 4 after doing step 3 for all syllabus? I just do step 1-4 for each syllable individually, because I find it easier. I love the videos tho! Best series to learn this script on yt!
This seems much more difficult and inefficient compared to the roman alphabet. But is also very interesting and kinda fun to learn (atleast for me lol)
Hare Kṛṣṇa Please make the mridanga videos public to all as all mridanga videos are private Looking forward for positive response Hare Kṛṣṇa Jai prabhupada
घ and द्य have been confusing, thanks for explaining नमः 🙏🏿
amazing course please share the next videos, i can not wait !!!
I have never had an interest in learning to write this alphabet until very suddenly two months ago, I was told it was a linguist's dream. I'm not yet a linguist, but after copying out hundreds of iterations of each letter and really undedstanding what little Devanagārī had been shown to me, I am so happy to have spent time learning this. Thank you for providing clear and concise videos; they make things much, much easier. I wish the person who had introduced me to this script knew how much a simple demonstration of one word's logic changed these past months. I still don't know any of the languages this person spoke, and I'm not sure I intend to learn them (I wouldn't know where to start, anyway), but I'm ever so grateful to be able to understand writing in a slightly different way. Thank you.
Prabhu why the mridanga playlist is made private??
May lord Krushna bless you with moksha. This lesson is divine.
Stellar lesson.
Such a great course. You are an amazing teacher!!
Where is your mridongo lesson? Please open it?
This series is incredible. Thank you sooo much!
In Thai the vowel (used to spell krsna) is ฤ, my name in Thai uses this vowel to spell trp. The “r” sounds something between an r and an l. Pronounced with an “i” The u sound comes from the next vowel ฦ
Hari. I was learning Mridanga from TH-cam and now I see these are private. Is this on purpose? Will they be available again soon ? Thank You
"Your 'Khol Mridanga' practice videos are not visible on your channel 'kksongs'; they are marked as private. How can I watch the videos? I am learning by watching those videos, but they are not appearing. My practice has stopped. Please make these videos available again. Hare Krishna! All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda."
If you have any mridanga videos can you share
No I don't have any
You have no idea how helpful this is, thank you
Hare Krsna!

Thank you.
