Thyagabharati Showcase | தியாக பாரதி தேர்

We reserved the best for the last! Presenting to you the season finale episode titled Thyagabharati Showcase. Thyagabharati was a movement started by Prof V V Sadagopan, the great music professor and musician of the 1940-1970 time period. Prof Sadagopan believed that music was the most conducive medium to impart education to children. So combining his expertise in Music and his philosophy of "Joy Way of Learning", he founded the Thyaga Bharati movement and seeded it with a bunch of tamil songs for children set to very simple tunes. While these songs are excellent on their own, In this episode, we pick up a few of them and weave them into an extempore story. Tune in to listen to this song-story sequence. You can listen to more of the children songs authored by Prof V V Sadagopan through this youtube link - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHtDg2FLTi1WxIOKbF75-cg/featured - Rendered by his sons and daughters.

Champu's Life Lesson | சம்பூ கற்ற வாழ்க்கைப் பாடம்

This is a story that illustrates the age old moral value that "Known is a drop and Unknown is an Ocean" or as they say in Tamizh - "கற்றது கை மண் அளவு, கல்லாதது உலகளவு" We are very grateful to the editorial team of the Sanskrit Monthly Magazine "Sambhashana Sandesha" for allowing us to use this story that was featured in the children section of one of the issues of their magazine. "Sambhashana Sandesha" is a monthly magazine published by Samskrita Bharati - an almost 40 year old organisation that focusses on the propagation of Sanskrit as a commoner's language. Through their network of offices and volunteers, they endeavour to reach Sanskrit and its embedded knowledge systems to whomsover interested to learn it. They offer some very interesting courses to learn Sanskrit through Face 2 face workshops, and also correspondence courses. You can find more details about all of their work at this website - https://samskritabharati.in/about_bharti
