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 Medha Mantra from the Taittiriya Samhita. In this chant, we invoke Agni, Indra and Surya to help remove darkness and dullness from our minds and find mental clarity and radiance. We will learn the increasingly more intricate Samhita, Krama, Jata and Ghana versions. We will also review some of the shorter mantra-s, such as Gayatri Mantra, as well as the peace Mantra-s Asato Ma, Purnamadah and Sam No Mitra.
This course is open to beginners and experienced chanters alike.
Join us for this joyful experience!
