Join us every Sunday afternoon in May at the Niantic Yoga Studio to learn the stories of the gods and goddesses, how to play their mantras on the harmonium (or an instrument of your choice!) and how to lead kirtan to invoke the full power of the deities. We have 3 harmoniums available to share, or you’re welcome to bring your own. If you know basic chords on other instruments, you’re invited to bring whatever instrument you’d like to learn on.
May 5th | 2:30-5:00pm The first Sunday will be focused on understanding the harmonium as an instrument and how to take care of it. You’ll learn about the god Shiva and how to play two of his mantras.
May 12th | 2:30-5:00pm Learn the Ramayana story, the power of Rama, Hanuman (the monkey god), and Sita, and how to play and chant their mantras.
May 19th | 2:30-5:00pm Learn about the goddesses, Saraswati, Lakshmi, and Kali, and how to play and chant their mantras.
May 26th | 2:30-5:00pm Learn longer format Vedic mantras and how to chant and play them as a personal spiritual practice.
