I think the kids were an inspiration for writing this post, Radev1000. They were precious, specially Muskaan.

Hellooo Mummy..........hope that you are going to maintain this thread.......once very week.😃 The kids were pretty impressive with their chanting of the shloks.

Long time back when I was in school.....there used to be series on DD called Chanakya. I was addicted to that show.....it was mainly about Chanakyas role in Chandragupta Mauryas life and touched on Arthashastra. The serial started with Chandraguptas childhood and how Chanakya guided him.......I was hooked to it because Chanakya is one of my favourite characters in Indian history and the show very impressively used shloks and Chankyas teachings without making it boring. I remember that it was quite a popular show at that time. If the creatives of CB can do that then it will make the show interesting and different from the other shows.
I have attached some of the clippings

Beti, where were you all this time that you ended up on page 5?

I will try to maintain the thread, but I also need time to watch the episodes and the knowledge and resources to keep up. As you well know any research and understanding is hard to keep up with. I too thought the kids were so endearing that I HAD to write.

I do have 8 volumes of Chanakya, but not the time to watch. Looked too intense - starts with Asota Ma Satgamaya! I watched your clips and felt I needed to take classes in Hindi first to watch the shows! Wow! But the clips got my attention for sure.

Devika, whoever named that child, knew her personality from the moment she was born! She comes across very bubbly and precocious!

Yeh all the kids are cute and they are very free in front of the camera.

They have used pure hindi here and it does take time to get used to the language..Do watch it when you have time. You are right that it started with Asota Ma Satyagama.......that shlok always makes my hairs stand up.......

Misti,

Chanakya is also my favorite character and I just got his original Arthshastra from Lucknow. Haven't read it yet, but skimmed it a little. It was very impressive as it was explaining about division of a country in states, districts, councils etc and talking about how taxes should be collected and the duties and responsibiities of Kings. Very advanced for its time.

Forgot the name of the guy who played Chanakya, but he was the one who also produced "Pinjar" which was based on Amrita Pritam's (Panjabi author) book. I was looking forward to his "Legend of Kunal" movie based on Ashok, his wife Tishyarakshita and son Kunal. I don't know what happened to the movie, but Ashok and Kunal's story is one of my favorite story as his considerable younger and beautiful wife fell for Kunal who rejected her advances. Out of revenge, she svhemed so that Kunal who was going to inherit Ashoka's kingdom ended up being blind. The characters in that story are very complex and the movie was supposed to have Tabu as Ashoka's wife with Amitabh playing the role of old Ashoka.

Mishti, I was kidding about the Hindi. I think I understood most of it or at least the context, but still 8 volumes is very daunting. I DO want to watch the serial.

Ah, so you sought the company of your Godson and got down to the basics. Seems like you both enjoy each other's company. 😆😉
