Join Nina Rao for this transformational offering where you will learn traditional ancient chants:
Feb 14: Veda Chanting for Clarity
Nina will share her practice of chanting of the profound Gāyatrī mantra as she has learned in the ancient continuing lineage of her teacher from South India. We will learn the pronunciation, intonation, and practice japa (repetition) of this powerful mantra. Bring your mala. This practice will be in traditional recitation form without musical accompaniment. No experience is necessary.
Feb 15: Prayer to the Goddess:
Through music and mantra, we will invoke the divine in her feminine form as the Great Mother by singing traditional prayers and kirtan. Nina will share stories from her guru Sri Siddhi Ma. No experience is necessary.
Feb 18: Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa:
The Hanuman Chalisa is a sacred 40-verse devotional hymn recited for hundreds of years in India to the Hindu monkey god Hanuman. Together we will chant the Chalisa along with musical accompaniment and discover how this ancient practice is still relevant to us today.
Offered as three afternoon workshops and two satsangs (subject to change).
