The ancient sacred book had written in Sanskrit

Sanskrit is an ancient language where most of the things were written in the form of slokas and mantras[Even Ramayan and Mahabharata too]. But even in India, we never heard any Sanskrit song. Not a single Bollywood movie shows any Sanskrit song. But If I say there is one girl who is not Indian by birth but her heart definitely loves India and she sings many Sanskrit songs with such a  perfectness that, you can feel the effect of Sanskrit song. Let's listen to one of my favorite Sanskrit songs which glorify India and its rivers, mountains, and diversity. It is a love letter written to "Maa Bharti"

English Translation
Naturally lovely Very delightful Carrying to our rivers and stars Charming and beautiful On her forehead, the Himalaya mountain At her feet, the sea Beloved India, always beautiful The receptacle of wealth, ever-flowing This India, equal with paradise Whose fame, shining, a song among foreign lands Beloved India, always to be worshipped

There are many such Sanskrit songs that give immense calmness to body, mind, and soul. Every morning when I start with Sanskrit songs playlist it reminds me, how ancient India reached not only in terms of wealth but in art, music, and culture too. Ancient India has found many ways to touch your soul using yoga, Pranayam, and the effect of sound with such mantras and slokas.

I am sure after listening to this song, you definitely feel goosebumps and feel proud of the nation.
