Why Gayatri?
The Gayatri Mantra holds timeless importance, especially in today’s complex, fast-paced world, as it serves as a profound tool for personal and collective growth.
Chanting or meditating on the Gayatri Mantra can help us navigate life’s challenges by promoting clarity, inner peace, and resilience.
For those who practice yoga and meditation, it acts as a powerful anchor, calming the mind and opening a deeper connection to oneself. Ayurveda views such practices as integral to maintaining balance and vitality, and the Gayatri Mantra supports this by harmonising body, mind, and spirit, aligning us with our natural rhythms.
Who can join?
This course provides a pathway to connecting with the mystical essence of Gayatri through subtle yoga and kriya practices, a transformative mudra sequence and the writing of the Gayatri mantra in Sanskrit.
It also includes traditional chanting of the mantra, specific pranayama practices and the experience of elevated silence through meditation.
It is open to graduates of the following courses:
- Meditation Mastery
- Yogic Deities
- Yoga Therapy
- Ayurveda Diploma
- Chakra Dharanam
