Vedas are among the most ancient sacred texts of India and the world and their recitation represents the highest expression of devotion. Originally revealed to ṛṣi's in meditation, they have been preserved and passed down orally for millennia.

Vedic hymns are in Sanskrit and their sounds transmit transformative energy and vibrations. ​

To preserve the benefits of these vibrations, Veda recitation observes specific rules that can be easily learned and mastered through consistent practice. 

Confirming its cultural and spiritual value, Veda chanting has been declared World Heritage by UNESCO.
 

What benefits does Veda chanting offer?

The recitation of Vedic hymns offers several benefits:

• On a physical level it has a regenerating effect and  excercizes and harmonizes the breath

• On a mental level it allows to acquire awareness, concentration, memory, clarity of mind and improves one's listening skills.

• On a spiritual level it allows personal growth and the disclosure of knowledge of the Self, also working on one's own Karma. ​It also grants deep connection with our deepest essence which prepares for meditation​

​

How does a Veda chanting course work?

Thanks to my studies with Shantala Sriramaiah of Veda Studies (a direct student of the renowned Challakere Brothers of Bangalore), I am able to transmit this practice with the Veda Studies method which makes Veda chanting  accessible even to total beginners.

Courses can be held for groups or privately, in a studio or online.

The recitation transmitted by the Challakere Brothers follows the Mysore tradition according to the Kṛṣṇa Yajur Veda and the Taittirīya Prātiśākhyā.

The transmission is carried out through the technique of adhyayānam, that is, listening to and repeating what the teacher recites, first in small bits and then progressively moving to longer parts of the mantra.

For each course I provide a workbook which includes a Veda Studies phonetic guide.  I also supply recordings of the chants  for self practice. It's also possible for students to submit their recordings for corrections.

​

Who can attend Veda chanting classes?

Courses are open to everyone. Given the variety of chants, there is something suitable both for beginners and more experienced practitioners. Musical or Sanskrit  knowledge is not required.

This practice is particularly recommended for Yoga teachers who wish to chant mantras correctly and with the right pronunciation during their classes.

​

What courses can I take?

I suggest always starting from the foundation course where I explain in detail what the Vedas are and which texts they include, how to pronounce the Sanskrit alphabet, the rules of Veda chanting, the difference between the various types of hymns, in addition to teaching some chants suitable for beginners.
