Namaskar:
From Vedic times, our religious teachings applied multiple ways to convey the philosophy and significance of Sanatanadharma that include using Mantras with rituals, puranic stories and through slokas (poems).  Most of our Vedic verses are poems with deep meaning and precise rules for chanting the Vedas.  
Our group had several moderators who wrote messages as poems to convey their ideas with the fellow members. One of our late moderator ProfVK has communicated his philosophical ideas through this group and also made use of all available communication techniques. He has published more than a dozen books on Vedantic philosophy and was always cheerful and active till his death.  He lived for 95 years and continued contributions through teaching, discussing and presenting his ideas. Here is an example of his video presentation of selected verses from Narayaneeyam, composed by the great Narayana Bhattathiri (1560–1646). Narayaneeyam contains 1,034-verses a devotional summary of the Srimad Bhagavatam. He composed these verses in 1586 AD at the Guruvayur Temple to detail the glory of Lord Krishna.  Late Sri S. N. Sastri (one of our past Senior Moderator and Retired Central Government Officer) wrote
the book on Narayaneeyam which was published by the Chinmaya Mission.  Interestingly, the book was forwarded by Swami Chinmayananda which is available at the Chinmaya Mission bookstores.

You can all enjoy the video presentation by ProfVK on Narayaneeyam at: https://www.profvk.com/slokas-from-narayinayam.

Chinmaya Mission which follows the advaita Sampradhaya has recently used modern video techniques and produced a series known as Upanishad Ganga to illustrate the teachings of the Upanishds.  For a wider circulation, Chinmaya Mission made them available through You Tube channels. They are available at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuiVHlYeiBg&list=PLFr_jkwUp0his35ff0LvPrI_U2oBYdL3b
