The Gāyatrī mantra is one of the most revered Sanskrit mantras, traditionally associated with the Sun, to awaken inner clarity and illuminate the mind. Its precise recitation can become a meaningful part of a regular spiritual practice. The Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra, also known as the Tryambakam Mantra, is traditionally associated with Śiva, the first yogi and source of yogic knowledge. Known as a mantra of healing, protection and inner steadiness, it is often practised during times of illness, uncertainty or significant life transitions. Rather than focusing on death, this mantra is traditionally understood as a practice for dissolving fear / anxiety and cultivating steadiness. It can support: • Healing and protection during illness or recovery • Calming fear and supporting the nervous system • Navigating uncertainty and life transitions • Remaining grounded during challenging periods Join our full day Saturday workshop to learn how to chant these powerful mantra, as handed down through the living Mysore lineage. You will learn how to chant the original Ṛṣi-born (seer / sage) mantra which in turn connects you to its full vibrational power — exactly as it was intended. You may have heard different versions of the Gāyatrī mantra or other Vedic mantras and wondered: • Which one is correct? • Is it disrespectful to mispronounce or sing these mantras? • Is chanting the Vedas different from singing them? Whether you have explored mantras before or are completely new to Vedic chanting, you may wonder if you are learning them in their traditional form. With so many versions of the Gāyatrī mantra and other chants circulating today, it can be difficult to know which approach preserves their original sound and effectiveness. Several authentic lineages continue these traditions today. While they share many principles of pronunciation and recitation, each carries subtle nuances in how the mantras are transmitted and taught. This workshop teaches you how to chant correctly through the living Karnataka/Mysore lineage, honouring the mantras’ roots and precise sound. Suitable for complete beginners and those wishing to refine their recitation. The oldest known Indian scriptures are the vast body of Sanskrit poetry called the Vedas.
