What is Vedic Chanting?
Vedic Chanting is a process of meditation, it is a subtle tool that engages our internal faculties, and influences change from within us. The inherent benefit of chanting is its ability to heal through the power of vibration, and to bring positive feelings to the student. It is a way of being present in the moment. Chanting brings out the light in our heart creating a total transformation in us which is the true essence of Yoga.
Chanting the mantras of the Vedas offers great benefits, experienced by yogi-s since ancient times. The Vedas are the foundation of all philosophy in the Indian tradition. The vibration of the sound while chanting the mantras of the Vedas brings health and healing. The language of the Vedic mantras is Sanskrit. The specific vibrations of Sanskrit sounds create different healing effects.
The Sanskrit word for chanting, ‘adhyayanam’, means recitation or study and also means the process of going within to our inner self, to our heart. Chanting is open to anyone who has the desire to experience the power of sound.
Vedic Chanting is considered to be one of the most important tools of yoga for healing, maintaining health and uplifting the spirit.
Professor T Krishnamacharya, the legendary yogacharya, known as the father of modern yoga, was the one who pioneered the effort to teach Vedic Chanting to everyone who was interested in it. He believed that as more people experienced its powerful healing benefits, Vedic chanting would be preserved for future generations. His son and student for more than thirty years,Sri TKV Desikachar, has continued the tradition and brought chanting to millions of students throughout the world for health and healing.

“Dear Debby,
I have been intending to write to you to thank you for giving me the wonderful gift of chanting. I am quite surprised by how much I love my chanting as a personal practice. It always nourishes me, grounds me, uplifts me. It brings me into the present moment. It requires my full concentration, if my mind wanders, I know instantly.
It takes no forward planning; it needs no special equipment or special place. It can take just a few minutes or as long as I have. I often chant before my students arrive for class, I chant while sitting in my car in a carpark, I chant on the beach or in a park. I chant when I am not quite up to asana or pranayama. I chant when I am feeling unsettled or when my thoughts seem to be unhelpful. I chant when I am joyful and when I am sad. It connects me with an ancient tradition, and it connects me with generations of chanters before me.
Debby I am honestly so grateful that I know what you have taught me. I feel I now have all the knowledge of how to chant well. I know the pronunciation, where to pause, when to breathe. Of course, I don’t always do it correctly, but I do know what I am aiming for.”
