Hello all. Good evening. Thanks for the wonderful intro. I am Sri Harish. I finished my schooling and entered into BTech. A and data science. Writing has been my passion from school days. It all started when I started writing for my school magazines. And here I am with my first book Shrinivasa Prabhrabham

Because like including mythology as a main genre itself is difficult so how did you thought that linking the festivals with mythology would make your book sound more effective?
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 0:45
So basically every day is a festival in Thermala. So these festivals tell us the glory of Lord Srinivasa. I personally wanted to include them in this book to let everyone know that these festivals are being conducted in Thermala tripadi devastanam for the devotees to enjoy and you know, like take part in these festivals
Sonali Sharma

That's absolutely true. Festivals do bring the joy and liveliness to our lives, no matter what kind of life phases we are going through. So coming to mythology, since mythology itself is a vast and diverse subject, right. So how did you approach the process of selecting and organizing the stories and the information that you have included in your book? And what kind of challenges or some interesting discoveries came along your way while writing the book?
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 0:59
And the slowcast which are being included in the book, we had to translate everything from Tamil to English for the readers to get to know the meaning and understand and get the essence of those slow us so that they can get the meaning and understand those things better
Sonali Sharma
@authorsonali · 0:35
That was an interesting background. Pretty sure the readers will get a very good insight and proper information about the same and coming back to your book and the message that you are trying to give from your book. Okay, so what message or takeaway do you believe that readers will gain from immersing themselves in the myths and legends that you have presented in the book? And how do you believe that these tales can inspire the people and enrich their lives?

Actually, this is an amazing question which reveals the main motive behind writing this book. When you are visiting a temple, right, you need to know the history of the temple so that you can get a divine experience of those pastimes. When Lord himself stood in front of his devotees and spoke divine words

Good evening, sir. I just wanted to know that what is the most difficult thing about writing, according to
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 0:24
It's okay. So like the most difficult thing with respect to writing is translating. If you are going to translate something from Hindi or from Tamil or from Sanskrit, it is difficult just because like a single word might be having two or more meanings. If you don't get the right meaning, you will be conveying something which is wrong. So translating is the most difficult part

Because when we talk about writing, writing is one thing, but coming up with creative ideas and not getting into writer's blog and exploring the creative ideas to keep your writing journey profound is something very important when it comes to writing. So, ah, creativity, I feel, forms the core aspect of writing. So, like, how does mythology inspires you to continue your creativity?
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 0:34
Actually, with respect to this question, the way of approach should be like we should not only explore these ancient times, but we should also try to get the essence of these ancient times so that it would be helpful when you are facing problems in your life so that you can overcome those problems easily without getting stuck in a single point. And it it also helps us in moving in the right path. So that's the main motive behind being spiritual and being a devotee of Lord Shinywasa
A very good evening to you ishi Harisher. I am Kadambari Gupta and I would like to congratulate you for your book Shinivarasha Prabhavam. My question to you is that managing your BTech, you know, working and writing a book and that too honor on mythology how difficult was it for you and how you managed to balance both the things? So that's my question and I wish you all the best for the future. May you write more books and lots of success to you. Thank you so much
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 0:56
Just because if the book is so large, it would be difficult for them to go through each and every line and get the essence. So I used to condense all those information and spend all my free time in this book. So after writing 26 anthologies, it was a bit difficult to write a solo book altogether all by myself. But just because of blessings of Lord, I was able to complete this book successfully. Thank you so much

Ah, absolutely with you on this, the Ascens. When we keep it alive, this is what helps us connect with more readers, with more wider audience and keep the roots of our mythology and our ancient period alive. So first, I would like to thank you for being such a wonderful guest and sharing the knowledge about mythology, about the ancient times and spending your valuable time for our audience before we leave
Shriharish V

With true devotion even if you offer him a small leaf or a cup of water he would be pleased and he would personally take care of you. That is what I recommend for our audience and thank you so much. Bye

You. Good evening, sir. This is Prabha here. I am so happy that at this young age you have developed the habit of writing on the mythology part because which is very hard. People who are experienced and normally they say that shetradam starts after the age of normally. That is the time when people are retired and you know want to spend time at temple having peace, meditation and all. So at this young age it inspired you. It's a blessing
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 4:29
Good evening, ma'am. Thank you so much for this wonderful question. Actually, for the first question my answer would be like for everyone, age doesn't matter just because life is so uncertain that you can't even predict what will happen the next second. So practicing devotion at the engage is a bit difficult just because we would be busy. And what is needed is you don't need difficult rituals and of you just need to chant the name of Lord as you are doing right now

Hello. Good evening sir and congratulations on your work. I would like to ask you as a student how do DayToday things motivate you to write more. Thank you
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 1:09
Thank you so much. This is an amazing question. Whenever you have free time, you should try to write. That's the first thing. Other than that, if you want to allocate a separate time for writing books, it would be difficult because maintaining our carrier as well as our passion is a difficult task which everyone understands and if we have to maintain our carrier as well as our passion, we have to balance it equally

Did it ever happen with you that you have come across some kind of a criticism or some kind of negative feedback? Why are you writing a mythological book and how did you tackle that situation and did not take or did not accept the negative responses or the reviews or the comments and came out and the resultant is in front of all of us awaiting for your comments. Thank you so much
Shriharish V
@V.Shriharish · 3:11
So when we have the right skill of writing politely, in the sense conveying the information in a polite manner, we should be happy and we should be proud of that skill just because most of them can't text in a polite way. So that's the reply to this question. This was an amazing question. I wanted to speak about this criticism and stuff. Criticism, it is something which everyone faces. So we have to face that to become popular and our talent to be on stage
