Vedic Chanting
Uncover the Timeless Art of this Transformative Practice

These immersive courses introduce you to Guru Shishya Parampara—the oral tradition of passing sacred texts verbally for centuries to preserve their purity and essence; from teacher to student.
Through the study of Shruti, learning to listen and the foundational rules of chanting, you will develop a precise and authentic practice. Tara will guide you in reading transliterations of the Devanagari script, while also helping you connect with the deeper meanings behind the mantras.

It empowers you to transcend mental distractions, enhance memory, and harmonize the mind and body. Whether energizing, calming, or centering, the chants are selected to bring clarity and stability to your life.

For those seeking to uncover their inner sound and strength, this practice offers a powerful and transformative pathway.
