And here is this weeks installmment:
Towards the end there the video goes a little out of sync. I don't know why and couldn't figure out a way to correct it but since this was my fourth attempt to get this video done, I let it go. Life is too short, people.
This is the link to the post I'm reading from.
And this is the link to the series before Bhishma's entitled Shantanu - the Ancestor where you'll learn about how Bhishma came to take his vows and why they were so important.

You have a lovely reading voice. Have a wonderful weekend.
Laughingwolf, thanks! You're welcome to comment as many times as you want!

Oh yes, and my birthday was lovely, Laughingwolf. Thanks for your good wishes.
Jai
Paige, thank you! I try to share as much as I can.
And yes, I'm staying cool. Hope you are too. This heat is intense.
Jai
Jaleh, thanks! I'm still getting over a cold so my voice sounds a bit odd to me. But the cough has almost all gone.
Jai
Hope you had a good birthday!
PS - Love your duvet!
You should charge for your linguistic lessons!
Happy belated birthday Jai!
That is one very very feisty woman in your story. If she doesn't get him in this life she'll get him next time round. ouch!
First: Happy birthday! :)
Second, OMGoodness, Jai...you are GORGEOUS! And I love your voice and accent.
Well done.
Thanks for being you.
Hugs,
Lola
This is lovely! And a belated happy birthday from me!! And thanks for stopping by my new WordPress blog. I want to keep in touch with you. You're a very good writer!

Talli, haha! The good news is it's not the magical duvet. I put that one away since it's summer now. This duvet is new and doesn't make me all sleepy and delirious.
Jai
Lydia, do you think anyone would pay? Hahaha!
Jai
Elizabeth, Amba was no woman to mess with, that's for sure. Bhishma made a serious mistake regarding her.
Jai
Lola, thank you! You're so kind to say so and you cheered me up because I was feeling so haggard what with recovering from a horrible cold.
Jai
Ann, I'm glad to be staying in touch with you too. I'll be putting your wordpress blog link on my blog roll so I don't forget.
Jai
Have to love a birth week! Happy belated birthweek :)
Happy birthday! Or should I say "birthweek"! :-)
Great post as usual.
By the way, agree with you on Weiner's weiner. It's just that on any other day as an isolated case I wouldn't even have taken umbrage but when it comes on the back of much c**p, well, you know, put it away, mate!:-)
Greetings from London.
Jai..enjoyed your vlog.
Whats up? Your posts are not that regular now. Hope things are okay with you. Work must be keeping you away from blogger.
This is really cool! Do you know latin? I'm trying to learn a few words in that language. Have a great week!
...from the other comments, I gather you're celebrating a birthday...congrats! Enjoyed the video, and thanks so much for commenting on my review at Donna's:)
EL
Lynda, thanks! It was a great one.
Jai
Cuban, I think that's the problem. All these men just won't put it away.
And thanks for the birthday wishes!
Jai
Rachna, I've been down with a horrible cold recently and that's made me feel like I'm slogging my way through a pool of mud. It's been a hard recovery. Thanks for thinking of me.
Jai
Clarissa, I haven't studied latin the way I've studied Sanskrit but I'd like to. They are closely related languages.
Jai
Elliot, welcome to my blog! It was my pleasure to comment when I saw your review at Donna's blog. It's nice to meet someone new who's so thoughtful and good at communicating.
Jai
Jai , Happy late birthday. The question is how long before you correct your age on your profile. Just busting on you!
Shawn
Oh yeah! Totally forgot to do that. Ah well, it can wait.
*wink*
Jai
Jai, you should be a teacher. You explain with such pureness!!
Oh, thank you so much for the wise comment. :)
I hope your days are wonderful!
LOVE!
A belated Happy Birthweek to you, Jai! I hope you enjoyed it. Though I remind myself that every birthday I am getting one year older, I also remind myself I am still living in this beautiful life. What a joy that is!
And a joy to watch you, always, tell your Mahabharat stories, too!
Nevine
I'm glad you had a good birthday week!
I don't think I would have pronounced even one of those words correctly. I was surprised by how far off my pronunciations were.
tywo, if any of my comments help you then I'll be happy.
And thanks for the compliment. I admire teachers a great deal because of the patience and hard work they required for the job.
Jai
Nevine, I've starting to think about how every birthday means being another year older too, but I've decided to make every one such an experience that the thought of being older doesn't matter!
Living is such a blessing, we should appreciated every moment.
Jai
Susan, I'm glad these pronunciation vlogs are helping then. I did suspect that quite a few of my readers here might get into the wrong way of saying the names and hence these vlogs. I'm happy to know they're working for you.
Jai
Happy Belated Birthday! :)
Great vlog--thank you for the explanation of the pronunciation.
I love your vlogs. And I'm anal about knowing how names are pronounced in the books I read. If I can't figure it out, I have to stop and google the pronunciation!
Happy belated bday (week), btw!
Golden Eagle, it's my pleasure!
Jai
Tara, I'm the same. I have to know the correct pronunciation.
And thanks for the birthday wishes!
Jai
I think the pronunciation of Devvrath /Devvrat does not match with the way you spell it- "Devrath".
