Sanskrit Chanting for the Love of It
Research shows amazing benefits of Sanskrit chanting — physical, mental and spiritual. An emphasis on Sanskrit pronunciation and phonetics enhances our experience. Even as Westerners, we can realize the many benefits of chanting in this rich traditional Vedic lineage of Bangalore, India. A brief overview of the Vedas will be followed by learning Sanskrit phonetics using the International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration (IAST). Familiar English/Roman characters are used to help us produce sounds unfamiliar to Westerners. Each week we will review phonetics and then delve further as we learn and chant simple mantras together. Handouts are provided. This is an experiential course. Sanskrit chanting is for everyone! Bring your willingness to learn and be open to this beautiful practice.
