Kumaram

Vinay Varanasi can bring before the eyes and the mind, a set of imagery and description that can make you visualise the stories he is talking about , quite literally in colour Video mode :)) and the best part for me is the underlying Sense of Bhakthi bhava. How it all comes so easily to someone soo young is really amazing. I learn something new every time I listen to him speak!

While I always grew up immersed in the stories from the Puranas, as I grew up, I started finding myself ask a lot of questions about them. Many a times, I am caught in conflict and confusion. And Vinay is one of the only story tellers whose narration helps me navigate through all of this. In a world where everything is often looked through the lens of right and wrong without questions, Vinay's narration helps me understand the essence, the inner meaning and discover my own answers to the questions I face. Vinay's offerings always come not just from one source and be with his humour, or his animated style of narration or through the absolute love for what he does, his stories know the way to listener's hearts and minds. After many years, I am falling in love with the stories from the Puranas all over again while understanding the deeper essence that each of the stories try to convey.

Vinay's talks have changed my entire perspective of what it means to practice and immerse in Sanatana Dharma and spirituality. With his gifted storytelling that engrosses both the well-versed scholar and the curious beginner, he's taken us on plenty of rewarding, enriching deep-dives into various aspects of the divine. Every minute spent listening to him is truly spent in divine grace and company.
