In Inception, Cobb goes dream inside dream.

The Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad counts four states: waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and turīya, "the fourth," the awareness watching all three.

We gave our indie game, Kapih, Sanskrit voice acting! 🎙️

From translating English dialogue with Sanskrit experts to guiding voice actors in the recording studio, bringing our cutscenes to life was quite an adventure 🎮

AI labs are asking religious leaders how to teach a machine right from wrong.

In Sanskrit, the machine and the moral brake already share a root: √yam, "to hold."

The question is new. The root is not.

Yesterday at the conclusion of a 10-day "Sanskrit Conversation Camp" in Udupi #India. The portrait is of "Mother India" ("Bhaaratha Maathaa"). The oil lamp and the mandalas create right vibe for the event.🪔🧑‍🎓

#photography #Sanskrit #languages #conversation #education #learning #art #mandala

A framed portrait of "Mother India" depicted as a Hindu goddess holding a saffron flag in left hand. The frame is set on a chair or other low-height furniture (not seen) and leans against a white-yellow wall. A pleated orange-ish silk saree adorns the frame and covers the furniture on which the frame sits. A string of yellow mums hangs in U shape on the frame. Red tiled floor. A silver-colored traditional oil lamp on the floor in front of the frame. Three mandalas in the foreground, left to right: a conch drawn diagonally; a circular series of six parallelograms around a 6-petal lotus; an outline of the Hindu god on the right. Yellow (turmeric) fillings placed strategically on the mandalas.
