Simply scholarly stupendous. Karnataka or Karunadu is blessed to have an astronomical genius like you sir. Sanatana Dharma is what our youth need to understand the glory of our bharatha and to ascend to the highest level. Long live Genius Ganesh.
In Telugu, this 'Avadhanam' is still practising. It is being conducted every year in Hyderabad and Rajahmundry etc. Thanks to current Telugu Avadhanis like Madugula Naga Phani Sharma, Medasani Mohan, Vaddipathri Padmakara Sharma, Gannavarapu Lalith Aditya (He's is born and raised in USA, youngest Telugu Avadhani who did Avadhanam at young age) etc for preserving this form of literature....
No takers for such art forms because of no recognition from the general public (They prefer cinemas more, alas). A lot of people don't have the intellectual inclination/patience to sit, appreciate such art forms. I can't even imagine the power of the brain of an Avadhani. Anyways this is for the most matured, refined audience. Most complex. Hopefully there will be takers
Fewer (not no) takers partly because it requires *effort* to access it. Cinemas don't demand anything from you except to suspend your disbelief (almost totally); they are *very* passive forms of entertainment. On the other hand, *avadhāna* requires you to have at least a modicum of interest in, and knowledge of, cultural traditions that you have to think and rethink (re-imagine). Only then can you appreciate an avadhāni's spontaneous feats. I attended parts of one of Dr Ganesh's śatāvadhānas some years ago. I was very impressed by the sight of many young children (adolescents) watching the proceedings with great concentration and, most important of all, laughing at the humor from Dr Ganesh *spontaneoulsy* ! This gives me hope that there might still be young minds that might want to pursue this. But how many parents would encourage their children to follow this with any interest? Everyone wants their children to be doctors or engineers or some such. It is remarkable that some of the participants on stage, with Dr Ganesh are professionals in other fields; they have retained and nurtured their interest in avadhāna and *practise it!* Ultimately, caregivers have to be interested and show children how to enjoy an avadhāna. I understand that Dr Ganesh is also teaching several youngsters in this art and they are growing in it. So, please have hope. :)
Wonderful art! So well explained by Shatavadhani Ganesh ji. I wonder, how one can develop so much of concentration, intelligence and knowledge, with presence of mind thrown in, that is required to become an Avadhani. Big salute to Ganesh ji. I particularly liked the stanza created on the fly, using Hello, Sweety, honey in Sanskrit for Śūrpaṇakhā! Also, the stanza with kala is an amazing feat by itself. Gives me goose pimples to just to imagine, one can create such poems, extempore!
I got know about Avadhana online....now this video is shocking me about what just I discovered... I wish more people knew about it and we were taught this... Such a valuable technique needs to to protected, preserved and passed on to generations ❤ I m also interested to know more about this art and how is it practiced...
i was searching on RUclips for can we pay attention to all internal processes of our body then after scrolling i got one video of sadhguru talking about dashavadhani and shatavdhani while talking about attention i got the word then i was searching for some scriptures if there is something which can be read and finally landed here,quite a beautiful journey decided for me by youtube algorithm 😅
Good that he explained the concept of avadhanam. But sonehow I feel this is not right way of appreciating art. In my opinion art must be admired not tested. Here all eight people question a single guy where he needs to prove by answering correctly and under pressure. This is mental torture. If he doesn't answer correctly, there are chancee that he feel insulted which is not good. Always question must be asked to know the answer and not to test the other persons talent. If in interview I can understand, but calling it as an art form is not good. It's just showing off that one is super intelligent. Real knowledgable person won't show off. He also said how he used four words "hi", " Hello", "sweet" And "honey" In sanskrit pose. A word means something when it's used in the form it is meant to be. If he uses the sound of the word in a different language altogether, then I don't think it's correct. Such a waste of time. Sorry to say this.
I want a telugu avadhani speaking on this topic .. it's an art form still so live in telugu states. What is a Ugadi with out avadhanam. Dharmo rakshatu telugu rastran.
You are right. Pls listen slowly word by word, Before listen you needs to study- Meanings of so many indian or vedic words- Kavya, Nisheedakshara, Ashu Kavitva, Sankya bandha like words. I think, It takes more efforts ( time) to make subtitles.!
It needs 10 genius brains to be an Avadhaani!
Simply scholarly stupendous.
Karnataka or Karunadu is blessed to have an astronomical genius like you sir. Sanatana Dharma is what our youth need to understand the glory of our bharatha and to ascend to the highest level.
Long live Genius Ganesh.
A polyglot and a polymath. Sheer brilliance. We should celebrate such scholars, honour and recognise them.

The character is शूर्पणखा(Śūrpaṇakhā) . Not ‘Supernakha’ .
@@अनन्य-ढ8र Thanks for pointing out.. Did not realise autocorrect had changed the spelling. Edited and rectified it.
Salute to all the avadhaanis of different languages .
Thank you so much sir,, we are kannadiga's so lucky to have you sir,, and I am proud to be Indian 🙏🙏🙏
one needs to have so much vidhvat like Ganesh Sir to be Shathavadhani..we need preserve this art
I got know about Avadhana online....now this video is shocking me about what just I discovered...
I wish more people knew about it and we were taught this...
Such a valuable technique needs to to protected, preserved and passed on to generations ❤
I m also interested to know more about this art and how is it practiced...
The pinnacle of human thought, so humbly and wonderfully explained by a great scholar... Beyond compare!
Great knowledgeable person shatawadani Ganesh sir. You are precious person to be proud of. I bow to you
Excellent 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🙏 we are missing this tradition to the core 😑

Such a great explanation and feel proud to be a part of Bharat samskriti!!
Very informative and enriching talk. Thank you so much R Ganeshji for this wonderful talk.
Wow! How intelligent and sharp witted the avadhani should be.
Haven't seen some one like Sri Ganesh, either in content or delivery 🙏🙏
Persons born with extraordinary talent alone may be able to perform Avadhanam
Shatawadjani Ganesh is a Legend of our times🙏🙏
respect +++ for avadhaanis!
Telugu people know most of these terms because of ppl like Garikapati garu 🙏
Wonderful speech and thoughts! Thank you for sharing! Namo namah!
Daivam manushyarupeNa, 🙏🏽 भवत: पादारविन्दौ कोटि कोटि नमस्कारा: महोदय । धन्या भारताम्बा भवादृशां सुकवीन् प्रसूतवति या ।
Tedx Talks brings talent onto its channel which one doesn't find anywhere in the world. Wonder how they search for people to bring on stage
Very well explained sir 🙏🙏🙏
A living legend of our time!!
Namasthe gurugale. Grateful thanks for this Ted takk.
Key question is "Can an Avadhani win the heart of his wife And win the argument at the same time?!!" 🙃🙃🙃
The answer is "Only an Avadhani can!!"
Title name should be Art of Concentration (Avadhana) ,it would have got many more views. Alas many missed the superb talk
Truly divine art!!!

Could you please MAKE SUBTITLES ON ENGLISH! PLease.
Its already spoken in English, but with a different accent.
You are right.
Pls listen slowly word by word,
Before listen you needs to study-
Meanings of so many indian or vedic words- Kavya, Nisheedakshara, Ashu Kavitva, Sankya bandha like words.
I think, It takes more efforts ( time) to make subtitles.!
@@frankmaninde3989 Yes, some of the words make sense to majority of the Indians if not completely.
Wish someone could translate it in all major Indian languages.
really very difficult art.
avadhana seems like a difficult art
Rakshith M, yes it is.
Very difficult
Yes it is, Something for India to be proud of!
First!
Only jain munis can do Shatavdhan and maha Shatavdhan
Pls tell me the name of any jain muni who has done shatavadhan or maha shatavdhan send video link pls !
No. Anyone can do
What nonsense!
*Anyone* who has learned the art and has practised it can perform it. Dr Ganesh has performed *several* śatāvadhānas.
@@raghuveerd6886 srimad ramchandra
A Telugu poet has done sahsravadhana..
The person in this video himself has done shatavadhana in sanskrit and Kannada
I can't understand most of what he's saying.
Simply great
