*I'm very glad that the New Education Policy 2020 in India is going to Mainstream Sanskrit throughout the country.......*
NEP is not mandatory.
It depends on state government.
Education comes under concurrent list.
Like Andhra Pradesh govt has decided to give primary and secondary education in English.

People still don't understand Sanskrit is a holy divine language !
Lot if Indians themselves gave forgotten the value of it. Only those who are spiritually inclined, ie a few people, are interested to know it. But there are villages in India that speak Sanskrit, so it's still there. 200 years back, it was a completely different story.
False secularism and left - liberals destroyed our culture
Sanskrit is the tongue of God.

@mns ta abhi 22 umar hai mera, seekh ne keliye bas ek sal bas hai. Mera matrubhasha Telugu hai, aur Telugu aur Sanskrita me antar sabse kam hai, kisi aur bhasha se compare kiye toh. Ye acha hai merelye.

Big head- Think Big.
Big ears- Listen carefully.
Small mouth- speak less.
Axe- Cut off the bondage of desire.
Trunk- Efficiency and Adaptability.
Big Belly- Accept everything that life gives.
Mouse as a vehicle-The restless mind like a mouse, must be under control.
Modak (sweet in hand) Enjoy life,
have fun.
✔️
"Big head- Think Big." I Think it's not about thinking, but about transcending the mind to reach the direct non-dual knowledge of our divine Self.

What authority do you have to make this interpretation? Your interpretation is wrong, misleading and toxic.
And 1 1/2 tusks?
@@auntiecarol Unauthorised, fake interpretation to be dismissed with the contempt it deserves.
My father discovered you on TH-cam almost 3 years before. In his last few days in 2019 he listened to your chant / music almost every day and it gave him a lot of peace. We are all very impressed with your love for the lost language and your musical abilities too. Keep doing the good work. May the Lord bless you with a long blissful life.
this is absolutely humbling to hear and that your Father listened in his last days - this is the reason why record the songs - for such moments and for such souls, here's to your father, wherever he may be

@@GaieaSanskrit
for me, you are Saraswati in the flesh; educated, well spoke, musically gifted, elegant and beautiful.
That I agree very much.
correct
Gaiea, you truly are a living bridge for someone like me who is a 'westerner' from Australia 🇦🇺 who longs for a spiritual culture & a form of worship that helps me connect to the divine masculine AND the divine feminine. As a 49yr old woman, I have noticed the feminine divine connection missing from so many communities & religions. I feel our Mother's call to connect with Her again, to feel her divine presence & hopefully as a result love the planet & all living beings as much as we love ourselves & our pets ✨🙏🏼🕊💕✨
Indeed, as 3rd generation Malaysian indian, i do feel that i am going back to the origin by listening to your sanskrit songs. Very proud and happy to see you celebrating Sanskrit!
3 days ago I was chanting Maha Kal's mantra for 1 hour. I asked Her to guide me. Now. I found your channel. I belive the divine mother lead me here. Thank you Maha Kali.
And probably some algorithms too ;-)

We Indians love you.....keep it up. We always wait for your next Sanskrit musical inputs ... you have already transcended physical boundaries...Love from INDIA...it is your own civilisation NOW.
Your gift of song in Sanskrit is pure ... I am in New Zealand and am glad to have found you 🧡🌸🧡

You daily bollywood sanskrit song listen
Me too
The Hindu metrics of time (Kaala Vyavahara) can be summarized as below:
• a Lipta (लिप्ता) is approximately 0.4 seconds
• a Vighati (विघटि) is 60 Liptas, or approximately 24 seconds
• a Ghadika (घटि) is 60 Vighatis, or approximately 24 minutes
• a Muhurta is equal to 2 Ghadikas, or approximately 48 minutes
• a Nakshatra ahoratram (नक्षत्र अहोरत्रम्) or sidereal day is exactly equal to 30 Muhurtas (Note: A day is considered to begin and end at sunrise, not midnight.)
An alternate system described in the Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III is as follows:
100 Truti = 1 Tatpara
30 Tatpara = 1 Nimesha
15 Nimeshas = 1 Kásht́há
30 Kásht́hás = 1 Kalá
30 Kalás = 1 Kṣaṇa
12 Kṣaṇa = 1 Muhúrtta
30 Muhúrttas = 1 day (24 hours)
30 days = 1 month
6 months = 1 Ayana
2 Ayanas = 1 year or one day (day + night) of the gods
Small units of time used in the Vedas
• a Trasarenu is the combination of 6 celestial atoms.
• a Truti is the time needed to integrate 3 Trasarenus, or 1/1687.5th of a second.
• a Vedha is 100 Trutis.
• a Lava is 3 Vedhas.
• a Nimesha is 3 Lavas, or a blink.
• a Kshanas is 3 Nimeshas.
• a Kashthas is 5 Kshanas, or about 8 seconds.
• a Laghu is 15 Kashthas, or about 2 minutes.
15 Laghus make one Nadika, which is also called a danda. This equals the time before water overflows in a six-pala-weight [fourteen ounce] pot of copper, in which a hole is bored with a gold probe weighing four masha and measuring four fingers long. The pot is then placed on water for calculation.
2 Dandas make one Muhurta.
6 or 7 Dandas make one Yamah, or 1/4th of a day or night.
4 Praharas or 4 Yamas are in each day or each night.
LUNAR METRICS
a tithi (also spelled thithi ) or lunar day is defined as the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours.
a paksa (also paksha) or lunar fortnight consists of 15 tithis
a masa or lunar month (approximately 29.5 days) is divided into 2 pakshas: the one between new moon and full moon is called gaura (bright) or shukla paksha; the one between full moon and new moon krishna paksha
a ritu is 2 masa
an ayanam is 3 rituhs
a year is 2 Aayanas
TROPICAL METRICS
a Yaama (याम) = 1/4th of a day(light) or night [ = 7½ Ghatis (घटि) = 3¾ Muhurtas (मुहूर्त) = 3 Horas (होरा) ]
4 Yaamas 1 half of the day (either day or night)
8 Yaamas 1 day (day + night)
an Ahoratram is a tropical day (Note: A day is considered to begin and end at sunrise, not midnight.)
Reckoning of time among other entities
Reckoning of time amongst the pitrs.
1 human day = 1/30 day of the pitrs
30 days of human is 1 month of human = 1 day of the pitrs
12 months of human = 1 year of the pitrs
The lifespan of the pitrs is 100 years of the pitrs (= 3,600 human years)
Reckoning of time amongst the Devas.
1 human year = 1 day of the Devas.
30 days of the Devas = 1 month of the Devas.
12 months of the Devas = 1 year of the Devas
The lifespan of the Devas is 100 years of the Devas (= 36,000 human years)
The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows:
2 Ayanas (six month periods, see above) = 1 year or one day (day + night) of the devas
360 days of the devas = 1 year of the devas
12,000 years of the devas = 4 Yugas
Reckoning of time for Brahma.
12,000 years of the Devas = 1 day of Brahma (4320,000,000 human years). This day is divided into 10, 000 parts called charanas.
The charanas are divided as follows:
The Four Yugas
4 charanas (1,728,000 solar years) Satya Yuga
3 charanas(1,296,000 solar years) Treta Yuga
2 charanas(864,000 solar years) Dwapar Yuga
1 charanas(432,000 solar years) Kali Yuga
The cycle repeats itself so altogether there are 1000 cycles of yugas in one day of Brahma.
One cycle of the above four yugas is one mahayuga (4.32 billion solar years)
A manvantara consists of 71 mahayugas (306,720,000 solar years). Each Manvantara is ruled by a Manu.
After each manvantara follows one Sandhi Kala of the same duration as a Krita Yuga (1,728,000 = 4 Charana). (It is said that during a Sandhi Kala, the entire earth is submerged in water.)
A kalpa consists of a period of 1,728,000 solar years called Adi Sandhi, followed by 14 manvantaras and Sandhi Kalas.
A day of Brahma equals
(14 times 71 mahayugas) + (15 x 4 Charanas)
= 994 mahayugas + (60 Charanas)
= 994 mahayugas + (6 x 10) Charanas
= 994 mahayugas + 6 mahayugas
= 1000 mahayugas
as is confirmed by the Gita statement
"sahasra-yuga paryantam ahar-yad brahmano viduH",
meaning, a day of brahma is of 1000 (maha-)yugas. Thus a day of Brahma, kalpa, is of duration: 4.32 billion solar years. Two kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma
30 days of Brahma = 1 month of Brahma (259,200,000,000 human years)
12 months of Brahma = 1 year of Brahma (3,110,400,000,000 human years)
25 years of Brahma = 1 kalpa (77,760,000,000,000 human years)
2 kalpas = 1 parardha (155,520,000,000,000 human years) [6]
2 parardhas = 100 years of Brahma, the lifespan of Brahma (311,040,000,000,000 human years)
The Vishnu Purana Time measurement section of the Vishnu Purana Book I Chapter III explains the above as follows:
360 days of the gods = 1 year of the gods
12,000 years of the gods = 4 Yugas
1,000 sets of 4 Yugas = a day of Brahmá
50 years of Brahma = 1 Pararddham
100 years of Brahma = 1 Param
4,000 + 400 + 400 = 4,800 years = 1 Krita Yuga
3,000 + 300 + 300 = 3,600 years = 1 Tretá Yuga
2,000 + 200 + 200 = 2,400 years = 1 Dwápara Yuga
1,000 + 100 + 100 = 1,200 years = 1 Kali Yuga
Alternately, the reigns of 7 Rishis, Indra and Manu = 1 Manwantara = 71x12,000+A (A is not given) = 852,000 years of the gods+A (A is not given)
14 Manwantaras = a day of Brahmá
VEDIC TIME UNITS GREATER THAN A KALPA
Ancient vedic cosmology takes into account handful of time spans which are even greater than one Kalpa or a day of Brahma. One such unit is a "Maha-Kalpa" which is composed of 36000 such days of Brahma. One Maha-Kalpa is considered as the lifetime of Brahma. There are time units which are larger than one Maha-Kalpa. The largest of them has been calculated as several quadrillions of human years. This precise and massive calculations indicate one important aspect of vedic time system, that, whenever the term "Infinity" has been mentioned in Vedas, it does not indicate something very large. Instead, it appears that the term is meant to refer its literal synonym itself.
I amaze at the Sages and academics of India. If only we could regain the ancient system of education of Vedic period.
@@AbhishekKumar-vp7ey Structure of Knowledge (Summary)
*All knowledge is divided into 2 parts i.e. Para & Apara
*Para means that which is beyond; which is obtained through the grace of Guru
Apara means that which is not beyond- that which is enumerated and which is studied under a preceptor. Apara is divided into two types- Shruti & Smriti
It’s is said in scriptures “Anantai Vai Vedah" ( The Vedas are unending)
*Veda comes from Sanskrit root Vid which means to know. The knowledge which is the basis of all creation, which decrees the nature of things from stars to atoms is Veda. When Rishi’s dived deep into meditation they perceived aspects of this knowledge.
*Shruti- that which was heard- is manifestation of knowledge that has been existing since the beginning of creation and perceived by Rishi’s & brought into the realm of expression.
*Smriti- that which is remembered- comes from experience of Mantra durasth tas- seer of knowledge
4 Vedas, 4 Upvedas, 6 Vedanga & 6 Upanga constitute the Shruti whereas Itihas, Purana & Agama constitute Smriti. In each of 4 vedas there are different Pathas or style. Each version is called Shakha.
*The Rig Veda consists the hymns in the praise of various divinities.
The Yajurveda is the practical application of Rgvedic hymns in Yajna or sacrifice.
SamVeda deals with the musical chanting of verses. Atharvaveda contains mantras with which one wards off misfortunes and brings about destruction of ones enemies.
*Each Veda divided into Samhita: These are the verses or hymns. Samhita forms the base much text books.
*Brahmanas: These are practical application of verses. They are commentaries on 4 Vedas dealing with proper performance of rituals.
*Aranyaka: means belonging to wilderness. They discuss the significance of rituals & meaning behind rituals. These could be equivalent to research papers of modern times where scientists discuss significance and workings of nature.
*Upanishad- Sanskrit meaning sitting close to the Master/ Guru. There are 3 different interpretations. Shankaracharya Adwait, Madhavacharya Dwait & Ramanujacharya Vishistdwait. Shankaracharya wrote commentaries on 11 upanishads which are considered to be the main upanishads.
*Each veda has an upveda (like sub veda). Rigveda which is concerned with Philosophy & Structure has Sthapatya as it’s Upveda. Yajurveda concerned with method of Yajnas has Dhanurveda as it’s upveda. Samaveda associated with rhythms has Gandharv as it’s upveda and Atharveda with Ayurveda ( Ayurveda=medicine or how to keep ones mind and body healthy)
*Vedanga. The knowledge of veda is so vast that we need some help in learning all of this mix Vedangs support the veda and enables us to use in daily life.
*1st is Shiksha- method of learning, where we learn sounds of alphabets where they produced from & how to learn.
2nd is Nirukta-meaning of sounds.Stringing alphabets gives meaning to them.Deciding which words means what is role of nirukta.
3rd is Vyakaran- Grammar. Now we have words. We need to make sentences. This is science of grammar. Vyakaran & Nirukta give meaning to what we talk.
*Chandas- The Rhythm. Even though we know the meaning of shlokas, we need to chant it in a particular rhythm. This is Chandas.
Jyotish- is the Time. There is time for everything & jyotish tells us about that eg. Suprabhatam(early morning) is appropriate to chant in morning.
*There are 3 parts of Jyotish- Astronomy Astrology and remedies.
Astronomy is an exact science which helps us to calculate the position of planet duration of astronomical phenomena phases of moon eclipses etc.
Astrology talks about effects of these movements on our life.
3rd aspect is upaya or methods to remedy these influences. The last one Kalpa- This vedanga decides what is appropriate for what situation. Purpose is to create harmony & Happiness in our lives. As truth is multidimensional. There are 6 upangas/ Shad darshan.
*6 philosophies inherent in vaidic scriptures. Nyaya- deals with logic. How do we know what we have studied is correct or not. how to recognise the proper logic. So Nyaya is abstract logic. Vaishesika- which is specific. What is special about object vaishesika answers.
*Vaishesika talks about matter & what it is made up of.
Sankhya- where vaishesika goes into microscopic, Sankhya goes into macroscopic. Origin & Size of universe, what are the stars, how many lokas (dimensions)
*Sankhya also concerned with analysis & divides creation into purusha & prakriti(masculine and feminine or the duality). The three gunas (good attribute) , panchkosha (5 elements)etc. These discussions found in Sankhya. Yoga- where Sankhya analyses, yoga synthesises. Yoga is not just asanas but a whole Philosophy. Refer Patanjali Yoga Sutra.
*After we obtained depth in yoga & meditation 🧘♂️ The Puja or Yajna becomes more effective. Thus poorv meemansa deals with yajna, temples etc. Uttar Meemansa or Vedanta- Literally means the end of veda. It deals with supreme knowledge in Vedas.
*Itihasa & Purana- Itihasa means it happened like that. Purana- Pure nava means that which is new in town.Thus this knowledge is so relevant & beyond time. It’s not surprising that most beautiful tools in spirituality- Bhagwat Geeta & Yog Vashishth - form part of these Itihasa
*Agama: Even though ultimate knowledge sees advaita everywhere, yet for the mind. Worship is the easiest tool to reach the divine. These Agamas consider 1 form as supreme. Ganpathya- Ganesha as supreme. Shaiva- Shiva, Shakti- mother goddess, vaikansa& panchatantra - Vishnu.

Sanskrit Revival needs more effort in India. A language which is spoken among people lives on.
Immense knowledge and wisdom for our living our lives lies in Sanskrit scriptures.
Thank you for your efforts. Bharat Mata ki Jai 🙏🇮🇳
"Sanskrit will become the most widely spoken language in the world and will suppress English. It will also be the official language in many countries of the world and will be used in all types of communication. People will write, read, listen and understand Sanskrit" - Sri Madhusudan Sai, talk in 2020.
Sure bro
I myself want to learn and become a sanskrit bhasha. Thank you ma'am for making and posting videos on the mantras you chant..... Love from India for your voice.. Jai hind jai bharat. Vande matram..
Except in India I think
@@yashdhanwatey7889 In India for sure, there is the source of Sanskrit !
Yash Dhanwatey India is a powerhouse of realised beings! So don’t think that it will ever loose its spirituality. Sanskrut will always be used in India because of all its spiritual literature written in the language. Currently it’s spreading in the form of sacred chants across the world.🙏🏼
sadly tamils will not let that happen. becoz they always oppose it.
I'm your huge fan☺️☺️☺️...I always scored higher marks in Sanskrit compare to other subjects in my school exams. Love from Rajasthan (INDIA)☺️☺️☺️
I scored full marks since the time i chose the subject in sixth standard..but due to many reasons could not continue..while i was planning on doing a masters on it😭
Sanskrit zens me out, I meditate listening to your songs 💗💗💗 calls me back to my heart 💞 thank you for following your heart Starseed 💫
Gaiea for me, a replica of an angel goddess as described in Hindu ancient scripture. I am lost when I listen to her Sanskrit bhajan/kirtan so fluently with her heavenly melodies voice. Gaiea has a very special place in my heart for reasons which I can't put in words.
Thank you Gaeia for sharing your heart felt thoughts and feelings about what you do - yes hearing you sing and singing with you in my mind or aloud is my heart’s desire... it’s wonderful to get to know you and what your heart’s desire is! Yes please plan to come to Australia when you are able! Namaskar mahesh
Dear Sister Gabriella, perfect answer to the "mouthpiece of other culture"... Sanskrit is beyond the boundaries and its for the all soul across the world. Lots of love. Gr8 job.
Mam your chants feels like blessings.
the fact that you introduce yourself as an artist rather than academic says that your heart and soul has become part of the conscious mind in the world of Sanskrit - thankyou and may you spread your love unlimited
So blessed to have you among us at this moment.

Hare Krishna! Can we start a "protect the cattle" campaign in the UK, ma'am? The idea is to ask the people to give up hurting the cattle breed for personal greed with folded hands, bowed head and with utmost humbleness.
If you means to say in Uttarakhand. Then you will be happy to know that our ngo will soon going to start a gosadan near Almora where the stray cattle and the oldage cattle will be kept.
best way to not hurt cattle for personal greed is to go vegan.
Just join the go Vegan /no meat campaign.
Why only cattle ?

Beautiful conversation. Thank you so much. Absolutely inspiring Gaiea- your talent, Grace, humility, respect, intelligence, passion, gift, creativity, dedication and (as your friend kept mentioning) - deep spirituality and sacredness. I agree, Sanskrit speaks to, evokes and answers the deepest universal longings of the heart and soul. With great gratitude and appreciation for the treasures you share, from Johannesburg, SOUTH AFRICA.
You said very beautifully.. "...evokes and answers the universal longings of the heart and soul " ... 👌👍
I Love her accent completely different from what Britishers normally speak. You can actually have a glimpse of Sanskrit in her English accent haha.

Sanatam Dharma (Religion) is the most scientific Dharma and it's the oldest of all religion.....
how much u know about hinduism bro, which makes u to make such claim. Such claim destroy the credibility or importance of the idea itself....know about it before making such claim....i know you know nothing not even basics of hinduism, if u were knowing about it u would have not made such nonsensical claim.....please do read first.
@@nirbhaynandan72 I am continuously learning about it ,if you wanna know I will teach a lesson ..I have not Said anything wrong , it's the oldest and scientific Dharma ,,,I think u need to do some read ,,,U can Google it
Otherwise give me ur no I'll teach you ....If you don't have search engine I will send u screenshot to make u understand ..
Agree with you but don’t call it a religion because religions today are mostly about some
God up in the sky that people pray to and about beliefs. Sanatana Dharma is about finding out who we are, the truth about existence itself. 🙏❤️🌼

Infact before her song I had listened name of Madalsa, but didn't know what she is all about. I thank you Gaiyea for introducing Madalasa's spiritual wisdom .

Sanskrit is a universal language ....Nepal and India together we chant in sanskrit and our culture somewhat same .....but present situation is not in our hand but we indian respect Nepalis and your country ......but your pm is not a good person
@@ub8165 How is my Prime Minister, I have not asked for your opinion. It is not my intention to have the political debate here. We are Shiva Margie, and also worship Masto. and was found in the oldest Sanskrit book in Nepal which is in Ranjana script.
@@SN-qi5hv I agree with you but one thing that we all can see that your so called "chamcha" PM , controlled by Chinese ammbesy ....and our brother like counrt nepal is completely sold under Chinese government it really hert us and we always love Nepalis ......but I shouldn't say that . Sorry . Har Har Mahadev
May god bless you . Stay safe stay happy
@@ub8165 Brother, i had already wrote that don't talk political here. can we are called you the slave of the British and the Mughals? he the Prime Minister of my country? elections have been won in a democratic manner. How would you feel if I write here Modi to "Americans ka camcha"? It is our responsibility to choose the Prime Minister in our country, so handle your words and use them. शुभ रात्रि
It feels like she has added a new and fresh perspective to how we listen Sanskrit and how it is being expressed
What connects us is that you sing Sanskrit songs directly from the heart which in turn connects the every soul whoever is hearing it at that moment. It is clearly visible that when you sing a song or do anything without bothering about any goddamn thing, it always comes out the best. And a lot of people would not be able to do that including many Sanskrit Scholars in India. As rightly said, Sanskrit is the universal language because it transcends every soul. Even your nationality or identity doesn't matter. So no question about the ownership.
I am studying the Bhagavad Gita, and for me it‘s a big gift to me, that I discovered your Channel. I Love it! Thank you. Love from 🇨🇭
You are an inspiration to us in India! While we have been shamelessly proud to adopt English through our convent schools and thereby abandon Sanskrit, you have not only learnt it but mastered it and understood its deep meaning and interpretation. I do hope I can meet you sometime only to touch your feet! You are a veritable Yogini and I'm your ardent Bhakta. I have seen/heard every TH-cam video of yours. May Lord Almighty shower you with his choicest blessings 🙏
PS: I am elated that we are reawakening to Sanskrit and Yoga and Vedas and Puranas and Upanishads! Your latest series of Bhagvadgita Chapters is a wonderful gift to your Bhaktas!
It was by pure chance (courtesy of the youtube algorithm) that i happened upon your video of madalasa's lullaby. I was amazed, partly by your perfect pronunciation and melodic voice and partly by the meaning of those words. I had been having these "nihilistic" thoughts for quite a while now (maybe my infrequent dpdr episodes, a year of depression, and exposure to buddhist teachings, particularly those of impermanence and emptiness, may have served as a foundation for setting up these thoughts), and it felt like i had found something that perfectly expressed what i had always felt a hint of but was too scared to admit. I subscribed to you channel and thank you for introducing me to the works of adi shankara (particularly your video on the nirvana shatakam and shambho). Though, i was born into a "hindu family" (whatever that means) i hadn't explored much of the classical "hindu" philosophy, buddism (vajryana) was and still is the dominant religion where i live. Since discovering your channel, i have started to read the philosophy of (as well as the epistemology behind) the vedanta, which i find is agreeable to my nature, and mode of thinking and would like to thank you for these chain of events.
Love from Bhutan
we have been signing sanskrit in every marraige but people called us illiterates its time we learn other subjects in sanskrit.
Geoffrey has thoughtful questions and is a good listener. You have passionate and insightful answers. You both are very sweet and look like good friends. Great interview.
Gaiea, though I love the name you chose for your artistic soul, I just wanted to point out that your given name, Gabriela, also has beautiful connotations: Strength of God. Plus it reminds of Arcangel Gabriel, the messenger of God. They also fit you. May you be blessed
gaiea is not a name. it means singer.
Gaiea is an ancient greek word, means Earth, and basically Mother Earth
Is gaiea British or Spanish ?
@@saswatimondal5236 Greek, means Mother Earth
@@anirudh177 I want to know that __ is Gabrielle British or Spanish woman ?
You are blessed with a golden soul.
You are very much on a right track, will go miles 🙏
This was a revelation interview. I loved how you came about your name!
What an interesting interview. I'm retired, from England, white British and I can see where gaiea is coming from. Sanskrit is for all nationalities to learn and connect with the universe and mother earth as we are all spiritual beings. ❤
Namaste.🙏
i AM YOUR FAN; I PRACTISE YOGA AND MEDITATION SINCE 51 YEARS; I AM GERMAN; THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE ON THIS PLANET:
Check out Sadhguru for yoga and meditation
Dear Gaiea, I´m from Spain and I love your music. I listen it when I meditate but also with my kids when we are concentrated with school homework. Thank you!!
I really appreciate your explanation about your passion for the Sanskrit language. Even though you're a westerner, you are passionate about learning this priceless language. Thai people who are inextricably linked to Indian cultures, especially Pali-Sanskrit languages, refuse to know more about the Sanskrit language. They view it as a dead and useless language. They are in a craze with learning English. Thai people hold English in such high regard that they ignore to learning other languages. When I tell anyone I love Sanskrit, they always say I'm a little bit weird.
Funny enough, it was the same in India- where Sanskrit honoured us by taking form
27:18 "What you know is a drop, what you dont know is an ocean"
Thank you for sharing your drop of knowledge.
What an insight you get listening to this interview, there’s a world out there and beyond, then the vast universe itself, if there’s a language, art, music and philosophy and much more profound touching our soul, body and mind, it is Sanskrit, from slokas, chants and narratives theres so much to dwell upon, certainly Gaiea hit it all through her singing each and every day! 💐Thank you Geoffrey, great interview🙏
I am in class 10 boards and my language subject is Sanskrit coz sanskrit assures almost 100 marks
But later I started respecting sanskrit and feeling it's importance❤️
Wow! I heard you for the first time having a conversation with your school friend. Best wishes for everything you do.
Your angelic existence and exposition make this world a better world to live in.
Blessed are those who can speak and sing in Sanskrit. Sanskrit is the sound of Life, the sound of Soul, the sound of Gods.
Her voice is so good and devine.
Thanks for conversation
Beautiful interview, covering many aspects in a very crisp manner.
Thanks for the thoughtful subtitles for G. Murray 's part, else it could have been challenging to fully understand him, given his accent.
Thanks & Please continue sharing the mesmerising chants. :)
P.S : I never skip ads in your videos. ;)
Gaiea you put your work out on TH-cam but you cannot experience the spiritual and emotional beauty many of us feel listening to your voice and our third eye is awakened. For example your mantra against fear really has helped me lots. All you get is comments under your vids but they cannot convey the moment of spiritual calm we often feel in our soul listening to you and the Sanskrit. Thank you for all you do, your path is lush with success and future enlightenment
Love and admiration from Mauritius
It's my pleasure to listen peaceful sanskrit chants. Thank you ma'am.Love from India
Once Covid is over, please come to Seattle to perform! I’ll be in the front row ;) your art is a gift. Thank you for sharing with the world
Westerners learning this divine sanskrit language and we been ignoring it. 🕉️ Time to revive it.
Thank you mam to recite it so beautifully 🕉️❣️
Hello there
Gaiea. Enjoyable interview, very enlightening. U have blossomed like a tree planted by the water, having found your purpose in Life.
I grew up feeling way too shy to express anything. Years later I awaken to a desire to heal and find this lovely woman who speaks so eloquently. She inspires me to try singing again. I used to sing as a child but stopped before I was probably even 11 or so. Alas. I feel now is the time to take it up again as I write this in December 2021. Thanks for being someone who brings East and West more closely together Gaiea. My middle name is Gail so I share that energy. Probably why you feel so familiar. Thanks to you both for this lovely interview. AUMMMMM.
Wonderfully done both and the questions hit just the right grooves. The video seemed long at the beginning (37 mins) but certainly flew like soft wind when it ended. God bless!
.. Satyam Gnyanamanantam Bramha..
Hari Om.. . the question of why people are interested in Sanskrit now is the change happening in the world and on Earth - there are more and more people waking up to the beauty of Yoga and its language of Sanskrit.. all the chants in the Vedas WILL HELP everyone in their miseries and joys during their human birth! Don't waste it ~~~ .. Gaiea-ji... I LOVE YOU! Thank you so so much for your music. I play them regularly in my yoga practices and I too also sing mantras (Just not as professional as you)!
Om Gam Ganapataye Namah
Great persons do the great things in there life, as she is performing the best of the best in her life each time chanting the slok mantra sutra. Best regards
I can find you everywhere, especially in my heart ❤️, I can receive your feelings, your sense of love, beauty and spirituality while listening to your videos . You're as pure as the snow ,endless as the sea and shining as the Sun giving light to the Earth. when you sing, I see you as the purest soul, realy not able to describe my feelings...Sending you 💖 from Iran....women in my country should be invincible as your wonderful song, Invincible. 🙏.
You sing Sanskrit in it's pure, poetic original form, which vibrates in the space of the heart and in that sense is closer to the pure vibration which later becomes language.
Very impresed for your beautiful story of life in connection with a language and spiritual growth
She followed her bliss. I’m envious.
Wonderful interview. I think there is a global spiritual diaspora that tunes in to the innate spirituality and I think the joyful and ancient frequency of Sanskrit and your beautiful chanting calls our hearts to 'home' the place where all of us, whomsoever we are and wheresoever we may be , belong. This is a sacred gift. Thank you.
Thanks for your voices .... really great to calm my mind and heart , I can forget some worries on this pandemic concern .
She has had past lives in India. That is why she is good at this, and it is natural to her.
Your beauty and passion complement Sanskrit,a powerful language that defines life and more.
It's a treat to listen to you..you are practically at highest level in Maslow hierarchy. God bless u
I am really proud 💪 that you are good in Sanskrit language and culture and you found immense blissfulness and enlightenment in reciting and Singing Shlokas and Upanishads.Satha maanam Bhavathi sataayu purusha satendriye ayush sendriye prathidistathi
What a wonderful interview ❤
When you say chanting is like creating....it reminds me of the fact that every sound has a structure. So when you chant, you are actually creating
What a blissful conversation!!! We love your chanting. It’s Amrit...
Eu amo a voz dessa mulher, sua dicção e calma, sua alma . Perfeita dos deuses
I love this channel Gaiea Sanskrit .... you are a beautiful person and a beautiful spirit. Your artistry is deeply inspiring to those who seek the divine feminine Gaia-Sophia in their spiritual awakenings.
So many people abroad are loving Sankrit..even Modern Indian youths are also trying to dig deep into their roots and rich history. But Without the revival of Sanskrit, it is not possible I'm afraid. I have to give respect to the people down south for having the courage and strength to fight for their languages and to keep Tamil, another one of the rich and probably the oldest written language alive.
So Beautiful and Mesmerizing. For reasons unknown to me, I am drawn to this beautiful music and often find myself in a trans while listening. It's like my body and soul feed on it and I begin to move and dance and sing like never before! Thank you!
When ever I listen to her I feel connection with maa sarswati. Lord shiva bless her with zillion blessings happiness
I'm glad I found you !
Ohh! Recently I came across your chanting and singing of sanskrit slokas.
Now I can't go with out listening to you every day. Your words sound like music. It enlivens one to listen to your chant, music or speech.
As a Hindu Must say You are True God of Learning / Knowledge MA Saraswati in A Human Form
How can I say God Bless you when you are already blessed, still God Bless you
❤❤❤❤😊👏👌👍✔🙏🙏
This was the most fabulous interview between two highly intelligent and expressive people. Great questions. So different from the mundane. Thank you ever so much
Wonderful lady ... thank you for the healing sounds that have soothed my soul and allowed the tears to flow when they needed to. You got me through lockdown ... together with another angel in London Grammar. I have always wanted to learn Sanskrit ... l might just have the time now 😁😇❤️
I like, the humbleness and respect given to sanskrit and where it came from, the honesty of the answers. And totally appreciate those of India origin, that are once or twice removed, who find this inspiring, since the sankrit articulation is so clear, and also, meanings are expressed in English, and made available via TH-cam amd other media, making it accessible. It will bring a resurgence of interest and reinstatement of sankrit. Please do continue. Hari Bol ! 🕉🙏🏽😊
i just started studying sanskrit at age 55. i am of no indian backround. It was very nice to hear about your journey to and with sanskrit.
Your chants are amazing.
thanl you for the inspiration and for uttering this amazing aksharams sounds
Warm regards from germany
Same here! That's how I found this channel. How your studying going?
@@teach-learn4078 well have paused lately much to my regret as other worldly things are competing for my attention. but reading the gita every other day and looking at the sanskrit aksharams all the time. unfortunately i do not have a group to study with.
@@hz7988 Your response inspired the following post from my on a Facebook Sanskrit study group.
Hello. I recently started studying Sanskrit. Of course it is potentially one or more lifetimes of study! Now I can sound out words, for example I recognize the text above is the Gayatri mantra.
My interest is to learn individual words and phrases in mantras and the Gita in detail, to engage my mind and heart as fully as possible to support meditation on their profound truths and spiritual power. I feel motivated to come to my own interpretations which are as informed as possible. I believe this is my version of jñāna yoga. It is also a joy to delve as deeply as possible.
For example, "'varenyam' is derived from the verb root 'vr̥' =to choose, to select; it means the most choosable, the best" (wisdomlib.org). Translations one sees might be "worthy" or something like that, which seems pretty weak when really "delectable" is also possible... The subtle nuances of meaning are part of what makes Sanskrit so "varenyam" to study!
Having said that, I don't know what case (kāraka) it's in in this phrase, I think it's an adjective (?).
Pronunciation is also fascinating and important to me. I know "bhūr" has a long "u" and an aspirated "b," which is not so bad, but for the retroflex ("cerebral") sounds I would need help.
Other resources I've found for myself are

Hard copy of the Gita I'm going with is the one by Sri Chidbhavananda. |
For me getting a firm grip phrase by phrase would be the sweet spot beyond individual words but not plunging into conjunct consonants, dual-voice verb endings and variations on sandhi except in context of inspiring phrases. That's my approach.
"The Sanskrit Channel" is excellent for me, maybe others would be interested in working through these with me? Slowly but surely?
Thanks, namaste.
