Subject: Mantra Course for the very first time

For the very first time, Art of Living teachers under the guidance of Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar, organized an introductory course in Mantra Sadhana
(chanting). The Mantra Sadhana Seminar teaches the correct intonation and
meaning of popular ancient Sanskrit Mantras. It is open to anyone who is
interested and no background in Sanskrit script (Devanaagari) is necessary.

The course was taught for the first time during Dec.18-23, 2010 by Prof. V.
Sastry, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was organized by Vikas and
Aparna Chawla at the Art of Living center in Metuchen, New Jersey. Prof. V.
Sastry is a professor of engineering at Saint Mary's University in Halifax.
He is an Art of Living teacher, a well respected Priest and has been
chanting mantras since his childhood. The seminar was presented in a very
accessible way and everyone enjoyed it.

It is important to chant the mantras correctly. The sound of the mantra
itself has an impact and a distortion in pronunciation distorts the impact
of the mantra and the impact can be very different from what is intended.
Prof. V. Sastry gives an example of the mantra "Sangachadwam" which means
"Let us move together" to encourage community spirit. Often in our courses
we say this incorrectly as "Sangha Chatwam" which means the opposite.
"Sangha" means community and "Chatwam" means "destruction" and this means
"destroy the community". So while we intend to encourage community spirit,
due to the distortion we are promoting the opposite. The mantra is from the
Rig Veda. It reads as "Sangachadwam, samvadadwam samvomanaamsi jaanataam"
which means "Let us move together, Let us speak together, let us think
together". The course teaches the right way to chant the mantras.

experiences: Mantra Seminar blog post
