Chanting of Pātañjalayogasūtras

A unique course by Kaivalyadhama. Chanting of the Pātañjalayogasūtras is one of the most important aspects in understanding them. Chanting them takes us to the heart and soul of the Sūtras. This Course will cover all the Sūtras of Yogadarśana (Pātañjali’s Yogasūtras, Pātañjalayogasūtras, Yogasūtras, Yogadarśana, Pātañjali’s Yogadarśana all are synonyms) focusing only on pronouncing them properly and not on their meanings. We will begin with simple rules of Saṃskṛta pronunciation, which are required for the Sūtra chanting. Pronunciation of Alphabets – Vowels and Consonants of Devanāgarī lipi (script) in which Saṃskṛta is written. The sound production process of Saṃskṛta is very smooth flowing process. It flows like a waterfall or like a river following natural inclination for movement. It is the travel of the prāṇa from in to out. This course will give the knowledge of the Saṃskṛta letters and how to pronounce them.
