About the practice
I teach Vedic chanting through careful listening, repetition, and individual correction. Students learn Sanskrit pronunciation, breath, pitch accents, pacing, and the meaning and setting of each passage before attempting longer recitations. Classes are available in Bengaluru and online, with small groups so that every voice can be heard. My teaching comes from long-term study of Vedic recitation and continued guidance from senior teachers. I name the source and teaching context of the material I share, and I do not use chanting to promise medical results. Beginners may start with a short introductory course before joining the continuing group.
