Vivek Nath: Vedic Chanting for Yoga teachers and Practicioners

Sanskrit is the language of consciousness, the language of the Indian Yogis and Gods. Mantra their old revelation, practice and form.

This weekend is an introductory seminar to Vedic Chanting as taught by the Indian traditions and promoted by the yoga tradition of Krishnamacharya from Chennai. We will start on a beginner lever and move to its highest, the experience of an unfold state of consciousness as further taught by the Shaivism of Kashmir, the great philosophy on mantra. Reciting mantras uplifts our consciousness and serves to practice yogic awareness. Bringing down these teachings into a modern language with actual practice, this is a unique opportunity to learn more about yoga, one’s own voice and self.

Vivek Nath – From Skateboarding to Yoga. Vivek is a German-born German Indian, who lived most of the last years in a little Ashram at Varanasi on the bank of the river Ganges. There his uncle, a saint of that holy city, initiated him into the spiritual science. Yoga instructions he received very early from Sriram (Desikacar/Krshnamacharya). Having studied Sanskrit at the universities in the East and the West, his for most Sanskrit Guru is the world renown Sanskritist Vāgiśa Śāstrī with whom he studies regularly since 1997 at Varanasi. By him Vivek got initiated into the Vāgyoga, the yoga of speech, as well as into Veda. Apart from other specialized teachers in Veda, Philosophy and in particularly Tantra, he is concentrating since 2004 on the Shaivism of Kashmir, studying from one of its world foremost authority, Dr. Mark Dyczkowski. Vivek is teaching Seminars on Sanskrit, Mantra and Tantra, performing rituals as a priest.
