There is a general perception that poetry in Sanskrit (Saṃskṛtam) is mainly about ślokās/ chants and religious verses. The fact is, there exists a segment of poetry in Sanskrit (Saṃskṛtam) which is simple in nature and dwells on secular topics like Nature, motherhood, patriotism and the like. The objective of this music project is to reveal this aspect, this treasure-trove of ideas/ poems to the public and thus popularise the language even further.

Penned by distinguished scholars of Sanskrit (Saṃskṛtam) and set to soulful music that covers folk, Tibetan, traditional Carnatic and Hindustani styles, the songs are sure to find a resonance with the public.

साधारणजनानां कल्पना अस्ति यत् संस्कृते कविता इत्युक्ते केवलं मन्त्राः स्तोत्राणि च भवन्ति इति । वास्तवं तु भवति यत् संस्कृते कवितायाः एकः विभागः अस्ति यत्र सरलानि पद्यानि सन्ति येषु प्रकृतिः, मातृभूमिः, राष्ट्रभक्तिः, इत्यादयः लौकिकाः विषयाः प्रतिपाद्यन्ते ।अस्माकं संगीत परियोजानायाः उद्देशस्तु संस्कृतकवितायाः अस्य मुखस्य जनसमक्षं प्रकाशनं तथा एतादृशं निधिं सार्वलौकिकं कृत्वा तद्द्वारा संस्कृतभाषायाः अधिकं प्रचारणं च भवति ।

पण्डितप्रवरैः विरचितानि अत्रत्यानि गीतानि जनकीय-त्रिविष्टपीय-कर्णाटकीय-हिन्दुस्थानीनामिकाभिः संगीतशैलीभिः सम्पुष्टानि जनानाम् अतीव रोचकानि भविष्यन्ति इत्यत्र नास्ति सन्देहः ।

परियोजनागणः संगीतनिर्वहणस्य गुणोत्कर्षे दत्तावधानः अभूत् ।शंकरमहादेवः, सुजाता, मधुबालकृष्णः, हरिणी, कल्पना राघवेन्द्रः, अरुणा सायीरामः, रमेशविनायकः, कार्त्तिका चेति सुप्रसिद्धाः गायकाः स्वकीयैः मधुरस्वरैः अत्र गीतानि पोषितवन्तः ।

The project-team has specially focused on the quality of production. Distinguished singers like Shankar Mahadevan, Sujatha, Madhu Balakrishnan, Harini, Kalpana Raghavendar, Aruna Sairam, Ramesh Vinayakam & Karthika lend their voices to the songs.

It is indeed heartening to note that renowned actor padmaśrīḥ Dr. Mohanlal ji lends his voice for an introduction in Sanskrit (Saṃskṛtam).

Being a project that focusses on handing over these songs to posterity and dissemination, we have also included the context that leads to each song, the lyrics in devanāgari, the transliteration to Roman script as per IAST, word to word meaning in English and the meaning in poetic form.

To summarise, this project is an endeavour by like-minded people who are passionate about giving back to the world the rich cultural heritage of Sanskrit (Saṃskṛtam).
