The Pratyancha channel on YouTube was started with an aim to discuss great works of Poetry and relish their brilliance. The channel creates videos in multiple languages such as English, Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi. Each work is recited and explained line by line by the speaker; the nuances are brought out with reference to respective contexts and time periods of the poets.
There are a number of playlists running on the Pratyancha channel at the moment- Romantic Poetry, Metaphysical Poets, Women Poets etc. We have covered pieces by William Wordsworth, John Donne, Andrew Marvell, George Herbert, Subhadra Kumari Chauhan, Anna Akhmatova, Amrita Pritam, Mirza Ghalib and Adi Shankaracharya amongst others. An entire playlist is devoted to 'Kamayani'- a seminal work in the domain of Hindi Poetry and written by Jaishankar Prasad. The chapters of Kamayani have been sequentially covered in 60 videos.
