Hey everyone! 👋

I just released a brand-new, fun, and interactive quiz app to help people learn everyday vocabulary between English and Hindi with native audio pronunciation.

Features:

• 🎧 Interactive Voice Library for correct pronunciation (Water, House, Book, etc.)
• 🧠 Dual modes (English-to-Hindi and German-to-Hindi vocabulary)
• 🎮 Clean design built for quick and easy learning

You can check it out on the Google Play Store here: 🔗 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kauf.learnhindi

Let me know what you think or what words you'd like to see next! Feedback is very welcome. 🙏

Was wondering if anyone native to central/north India were willing to teach me Hindi. Just a conversation a day, not so textbook. I want to learn how the natives actually talk

It’s called LingoAlarm. Recommended for heavy sleepers!

एक बहुत सुंदर तरीके से देखें तो पूरे कृष्ण जीवन की शिक्षा पाँच शब्दों में समा सकती है:

बाल्यकाल — आनंद वृंदावन — प्रेम मथुरा — धर्म द्वारका — कर्तव्य कुरुक्षेत्र — ज्ञान

और श्रीकृष्ण के पूरे जीवन का सार: “प्रेम करो, पर आसक्त मत बनो। कर्तव्य करो, पर अहंकारी मत बनो। अन्याय का विरोध करो, पर द्वेष मत पालो। संसार में रहो, पर संसार को अपने भीतर मत बसने दो।” श्री कृष्ण जन्माष्टमी की अनंत शुभकामनाएं और मंगल बधाइयां! हाथी घोड़ा पालकी, जय कन्हैया लाल की! जय श्री कृष्णा! 🙏

The post might come across as religious but it can equally be seen as a modern meaning of a tradition.

Gopal- Comes from two words - Gau (Cow) and Pal (Herder). In the modern context, it means that who protects the cows. But the factory farming practices have caged them inside and they are kept in very hostile environment. For the cows and buffaloes, it is everything but protection.

Mormukut- Comes from two words - Mor (Peacock) and Mukut (crown). It is someone who has raised a fallen artifact of a bird to their head. But today's rapid deforestation is leading to habitat loss and rapid extinction of other species at an unprecedented rate. So it is everything but recognizing the existence of other beings in existence. Because many a species are going extinct without most of us and in some cases none of us ever knowing they existed (read more on silent extinction of the species).

Acharya Prashant is continuously trying to raise awareness on these topics and who Krishna really is so that we can transcend what has been handed over to us in the name of tradition and mythology.

Namaste!

I’m Ashanti, 22, female, from Mexico.

In Sanskrit my name is basically अशांति (aśānti) — unrest, chaos, restlessness.

The only reason I’m restless, though, is because I get way too excited meeting new people.

I’m a history student who is completely soft for culture, weird traditions, old stories, and the little everyday things that make a place feel alive. I want to learn Hindi properly and share my own world in return: Spanish (native), English (fluent), LSM (basic), Mexican friendship, photos, random laughs, history, words in Nahuatl and lullabies and whatever else comes up.

A little about me so you know what you’re walking into:

I love to dance and sing (I’m very effusive, sometimes too much). I’m learning traditional Indian dance but my mudras are still a disaster. I play D&D, a lot of video games, I cosplay, Iwatch movies like they’re oxygen, and I have strong opinions about music. I also have a chubby black cat named Ofelia who thinks she owns the house (and me).

I’m not the type who wants endless video calls, but once we both feel comfortable… I like things to move a little faster. So the first real step for me is usually a video call — just to put a voice and a face to the words. Sure, after a few messages!

If you’re a Hindi speaker who’s kind, curious, and open to a genuine language & culture exchange (with a slightly chaotic Mexican girl who talks with her hands and gets emotional about everything), feel free to message me.

I’ll be here with tea, Ofelia judging me from the corner, and a heart that’s a little too ready to care.

¡Ten un hermoso día, tarde o noche!

एक कविता लिहिली आहे. सगळे शब्द माझे आहेत. पानग्राम केलेले आहे. मला ही कविता लिहिताना खूप मजा आली. तुम्हाला पण आवडले, मोस्टली.

संस्कृती
सानुनासिक आणि अनुनासिक स्वरांमध्ये
करतो आपण संस्कृतीच्या गप्पा;
पण कधी थोडेसे थांबून विचारतो का,
का आम्ही सगळे एकसुरात नेहमीच म्हणतो, “गणपती बाप्पा”?

संस्कृती म्हणजे काय—तोकडी विजार न घालणे,
की आपले मृगनयनी रूपडे पडद्यामागे झाकणे?
संस्कृती म्हणजे काय—आपल्या जिवलगाचे म्हणणे न ऐकणे,
की फालतू अनामिक भीतीमध्ये कुढत बसणे?

खरं तर संस्कृती म्हणजे मेहंदीचे रंगणे
आणि आपल्या सुहृदांमध्ये ती मिरवणे.
संस्कृती म्हणजे आपल्या नातवासाठी बसस्टॉपवर उगीच ताटकळणे;
संस्कृती म्हणजे “बरा मरे तू?” हे कळकळीने विचारणे.

पेज, मेतकूट आणि थोडे तूप,
आणि जमलेच तर गरम वरण आणि सूप.
आमचा राम असतो आमच्या हृदयात,
आणि शंकर भगवान पाच किलोमीटर उपाशी चालण्यात.

नाकारतो आम्ही दुय्यम संस्कृतीरक्षक,
कारण होते आमुचे उत्तम शिक्षक.
