Traditional Sanskrit Mantra (Beginners) with Sonia

Every Thursday 6:00 to 7:00 pm in Joy Community Hall (Opposite Center GH)

Mantras are Vedic in origin and the teachings of the Vedas consist of various Mantric chants or hymns cognized by different seers or Rishis from the Cosmic Mind. The sound of Mantra can lift the believer towards the higher self as these sound elements of Sanskrit language are permanent entities and are of everlasting significance. In the recitation of Sanskrit Mantras the sound is very important, for it can bring transformation in you while leading you to power and strength. The specific pitches and strict rules of intonation and syllabic length should be learned according with the tradition of the great masters of the past, who figured out how to use the voice to calm the mind and attune the practitioner to the more subtle levels of the “sadhana” or spiritual path. Through the harmonic rhythm, repetition and participation in the singing, the mind reaches more clarity, concentration and tranquillity. A crystal and elevate mind, which is essential for the Yoga & Vedanta students, is reached through the daily chant.

These classes do not require advance registration (drop-in) and they are suitable for beginner to intermediate level students. The cost is Rs. 300 for guests, we offer a 50 % discount for Auroville volounteers, and on donation for Aurovilians & Auroville New Comers.
