Sanskrit is the ancient language of the seers and sages of ancient India. The major authoritative scriptures of yoga philosophy, the mantras we meditate with and the chants we chant are all in this wondrous language. The Sanskrit language has a primordial and powerful vibration. Its 50 basic sounds are vibrating in our six chakras. Due to its powerful and purifying effects, mantras and prayers are chanted in their original form and not in a translated form.
For those interested in deepening their understanding of the philosophy, mantras and chants, having a basic understanding of the Sanskrit language is very helpful.
In this 8-session course we will focus on reading Devanagari (the Sanskrit script) and pronouncing the basic Sanskrit sounds.
Course meets 8 Thursdays: Sept 27–Nov 15
