The Gayatri Mantra A 3-Week Journey into Sound and Healing Light
- Presenter: Rajeshwari Gretchen Carmel
ENHANCE YOUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS
Join Rajeshwari Gretchen Carmel, senior teacher in the lineage of Thomas Ashley-Farrand, as she guides you step-by-step through one of the most powerful healing mantras in the Hindu tradition.
The purpose of the Gayatri Mantra is to enlighten the mind and the intellect, accumulate the highest spiritual light, and attain enlightenment. Practiced both by Hindus and Buddhists, the Gayatri Mantra is recognized universally for its spiritual potency. It can be chanted aloud, whispered, or repeated in silence—and can be used by people of any religion or spiritual background. While chanting this mantra, your prana becomes energized, your aura becomes brighter, and a quiet permeates the mind.
Through discussion, group chant, and Q&A, you will learn:
- The short and long form Gayatri Mantra with meaning and applications
- Simple instruction on correct pronunciation
- How to use mala beads
- Steps to create a successful home practice
All levels are welcome and no prior experience with mantra is necessary.
NOTE Rajeshwari is a designated YACEP (Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider) and CE credits may be earned. More information will be provided during the program. You will have access to the video recording(s) for 30 days after the program ends. All recordings will be available within 72 hours of the end of each session.
