Lola. Jay SiyaRam. Jay RadheShyam.🤗 Hello everyone.

I haven't yet gone through first 22 pages of this thread and haven't found time to read and discuss what is being discussed here and has been discussed over here but I just step in to write down my most favourite episodes out of 50 story episodes (all watched) 3rd episode onwards (I loved the first two introductory episodes also providing the background and setting up the theme of presenting the knowledge).

My favourite episodes in the order of number sequence are:

Episodes 4 (Ashtavakra), 5 & 6 (Darashikoh), 10 (Arth - Kautilya), 12 (Moksha - Kotikarna), 13 (Brahmacharya - Satyakam), 14 (Grihasthaashram - Magh Kavi 😃), 18 (Varna - Chandragupt), 25 (24 teachers of Avdhoot), 26 (Indra & Virochan), 27 (Yaksha prashna to Yudhishthir), 28 (Savitri), 33 (Camel's rope 😃 😆), 35 (3 questions), 40 (Srishti - Varah Mihir), 44 (Vasnas - Eknath), 46 (Antarang Sadhana - Keshidhwaj & Khandigya), 49 (Gyanyog - Sadashiv Brahmendra), 51 (Moksha/Jeevan Mukt - Paravailla Swami).

My favourite actors in the series are K K Raina (excellent versatility and expressions), Abhimanyu Sinh (best command over Hindi and Sanskrit & clarity of pronunciation), Zakir Hussain, Ravi Khanvilkar, Gagan Malik.

K K Raina was already my favourite actor because of the film Ek ruka hua faisla and TV series Byomkesh Bakshi. But this serial has given him great opportunity to discover the heights of his talent and I just love every character and episode in which he is acting.

I have also just edited my post in the thread of Introduction of Members after completing all the episodes of this show.

Ok I'll check your previous post again.😊Hey are you a lecturer?I'm afraid of lecturers!!😆

Lol. Don't worry. I am a very very friendly and liberal teacher.😆

OMG 8-10 episodes per day!!I could watch only 2 episodes in 8-10 days.

My current schedule is 8 to 12 and 2 to 6 lectures (8 hours a day and classes at home only so no travelling time) and students stay until 8 pm (2 hours extra on an average). So I had 12 to 2 lunch break time and time 8 pm onwards upto 1 am or 2 am until going to bed. Due to my involvement in the episodes, my average sleep was 5-6 hours perhaps for last 5-6 days and basically I was either in the lecture or watching the videos when not in the lecture (even while taking lunch and dinner) so it was possible to watch 8-10 episodes of 25 minutes.

You look well versed in Upanishad Bhasha.I'm trying very hard to understand some concepts.They are all new for me.🤔

Well I can't say I am well versed in Upanishad bhasha to be honest but I am familiar and comfortable with both Sanskrit pronunciation and Sandhi vichchhed (Very primary level of spoken language) and Shuddh Hindi ever since my primary school days (or even before perhaps) so for me it was very natural to watch episode after episode normally (as natural as watching a cricket match) and having read Geeta and having deeply enjoyed & discussed RS Ramayan and BRC MB, concepts were also all known and familiar but only some stories were new so I was very quick and curious to go through all of them.

Anyways plz come regularly and join with us in the discussion.I'm interested in learning from my fellow members.😳

I will try and would love to. I will try first to go through first 20 pages of the thread if posts are not too long and can visit the thread daily or once-twice in a week if it is not moving too fast for my comfort since my schedule is very hectic. And I am not naturally good at initiating any topic of talk but naturally good to respond to any specific or targeted question or to argue in a debate.😆

About Avatar...

We all both living and non-living are the manifestations of lord but we donot consider ourselves as an 'Avatar' coz we never realized that we are an avatar of god unlike Shri Ram,Maa Sita ,Shri Krishna,Vyasa,sages,yogis etc.Avatar refers to a soul freed from maya (delusion) and comes by the will of God back into manifested existence to help others.It is noway different from the one and only eternal god and has all the above mentioned traits.A soul awake in omnipresent Spirit loses his delusive nightmares of births and deaths.This makes a perfect avatar.Traditionally, the word avatar is sometimes limited to few incarnations.But if we go through the scriptures,we can find some references.

Eg."Vyasaya Vishnu roopaya Vyasa roopaya Vishnave!!",. which means, Veda Vyasa is none other than, Lord Vishnu himself.
