He is only 6 years old, but with his extraordinary talent of memorizing and reciting flawless  slokas (hymns) of Bhagabat Mahatmya, he has turned a cynosure of all eyes.

His exuberant flawless reciting of full skanda of Bhagabat Mahima has made him popular in Pattamundai area and also made his parents proud.

He has got a series of awards and certificates in several cultural and religious functions as well as in school annual functions.

Meet the extraordinary talent Aryan Aryaprakash Rout, the son of lecturer Naresh Rout and Dr Jayashree Rout of Beltal under Pattamundai police limit. He is studying in standard -1 of Global Brilliant School in Pattamundai.

At his age, most of the children cannot talk properly, but he has an extraordinary talent of mesmerizing the listeners with his flawless reciting of Bhagabat Mahatmya with vedic Sanskrit language.

He is yet to learn Odia and cannot read all these odia language-based Sanskrit hymns  at such a tender age. He can't write them either. But he managed to remember the Bhagabat Mahatmya by listening to his grandfather every day, said Naresh Rout, the proud father of Arayan.“My son is a good listener.

When by father-in-law used to recite Bhagabat Mahatmya, Aryan would sit near him and slowly and steadily, he managed to memorize the verse and hymns.

The matter came to our notice following Aryan started reciting the Bhagabat Mahatmya profusely. It really astonished us," said Jayashree Rout. Intellectual masses are all praise for the wonder kid.
