| Sanskrit: Sacred Weavings of Ritual Sound |
Cynthia Snodgrass |
Ancient poet-sages of the Rig Veda speak of the universe as a closely inter-connected net of relations, created from the divine energies of Sanskrit sound. To know these energies is to know Divine. These sounds, intoned in outward ritual, weave together the worlds of earth and heaven. Later tantric practitioners employ the same Sanskrit sounds to perform inner rituals of purification, enlightenment, and release. The practices of Vedic and Indic mantra are ancient, varied and profound. All mantra is grounded in the Sanskrit alphabet and its sounds. This workshop will teach the energetics of the Sanskrit, its basic positionings and proper pronunciation. It will also offer the opportunity of chanting with the seed syllables (mantras) of the alphabet in an experiential practice of sound meditation. Goal: to have a fundamental understanding of the energetics of the Sanskrit alphabet. Learning Objectives: learn how the sounds of the Sanskrit alphabet provide underlying support for all mantra, experience how the vibrations of the seed mantras effect the energetics of the physical, emotional, and spiritual bodies, and experience the Sanskrit language as a vehicle for transcendence and enlightenment. |
