Excellence in musical lyrics and composition, singing, acting, and all around good vibes. All in just this one 2¾-minute video.
It's in #Kannada but any true fan/connoisseur of #music from any background will enjoy it.
*16th century #Carnatic composition by Purandara Daasa; from a #biopic

AI translation can't get any wronger: The Kannada word "ಪ್ರಾಣಾಂತರ್ಗತ" (ISO prāṇāṁtargata) or the variation ಪ್ರಾಣಾನ್ತರ್ಗತ (prāṇāntargata) actually means "resident in [part of] breath [life]".

"kashaaya" (#Kannada ಕಷಾಯ #Sanskrit **कषाय**) means "medicinal decoction", with many #Ayurvedic and other #recipes around for literally thousands of years.
Pic: kashaaya powder at a store in #Udupi #India. Add a teaspoon to warm milk/water.
PS: Consult someone qualified for a recipe right for your #health.

A multilingual website I've been building for a while went live a few days ago. It's a pretty simple site from user perspective but somewhat challenging to build, esp. due to data org to ease site gen, and me learning some of the tech as I build the site.
Many fixes and features are pending, but I'm happy with the outcome and the initial reception. I'm also humbled by the opportunity to work with and learn from a great scholar in the subject matter, and pleased to be able to use my time and knowledge for a worthy cause. 🙇‍♂️
