Our Vedic Chant Teacher Training program has become as popular all over the world as it offers people a chance to learn and become teachers of Vedic chanting. We are one of the few organisations to offer this certification and have conducted this program in many countries in the world.
Following the holistic teachings of T Krishnamacharya, we have designed the practice of this ancient Viniyoga tradition into a well structured course of study. The method of teaching is traditional, where chants are taught orally to students.
This inspirational training will:
Provide an insight into the origin and evolution of the Veda-s and their content and scope.
Present Vedic chanting as a powerful tradition that is as relevant in the 21st Century as it was a thousand years ago.
Help students practice Vedic chanting keeping in line with the rules and pedagogy of chanting.
Help students experience Vedic chanting as an important tool in the process of meditation.
Offer an understanding of the application of Vedic chanting for health and healing.
Help improve memory and enhance capacity of listening.
