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 'Suryanamaskara Mantrah' from the Taittiriya Brahmana. As the sun is the giver of life to all of us on this planet, it is considered the preserver of health and nourisher of our mental faculties as well. In this chant we are praising the sun and asking it to remove our physical and mental ailments. The mantra contains the Bija mantras, which in and of themselves are a powerful chant. Once we have learned the entire mantra, it can be chanted with prostrations, which we will try out in the end of the workshop!
This course is open to beginners and experienced chanters alike. Join us for this joyful experience!
