To a large extent, I think, Yes. SR's songs sound like MD songs to me. Just speaking for myself, I am conditioned to strongly associate Sanskrit with Manthra, Poojas and things related to religious matters. This is more so since I do not understand Sanskrit so all of this get put in the same 'mental bucket'..May be it is the language -Sanskrit.
I just read in wikipedia that "...Sanskrit is claimed to be spoken natively by the population in Mattur, a village in central Karnataka. Inhabitants of all castes learn Sanskrit starting in childhood and converse in the language. Even the local Muslims speak and converse in Sanskrit..."
It will sound to us the most bhakthi oriented village in the whole world.. If Mattur tourism board ( ) wants some ideas, I am brimming with those. We can put Mattur on the Hindu pilgrimage map :cheesy:
