Vedic Chanting is the ancient art of transmitting the Veda-s orally, from teacher to student, in a strictly prescribed way. This practice hones your listening skills tremendously, improves memory, works to extend the breath fully, and can lead to a deep meditative state.
We will learn 'Śraddhā Suktam', from the Taittiriya Brahmana. Śraddhā translates as 'conviction' or 'faith', a deep inner trust that helps us persevere against all odds.
This course is open to beginners and experienced chanters alike. Join us for this joyful experience!
