Call in the strength of elemental energies to support health and vitality.
In this 4-week course we'll learn a beautiful and nourishing mantra for health and overall well-being.
Laghunāsya is a mantra that line by line, installs the strength of various elements of nature into specific parts of our being, then draws a line of connection to our heart. As we rest in the heart, we connect to the eternal in ourselves, thereby connecting to the eternal in all things.
"Let Agni (fire) reside in my speech, the Wind in my breath, the Sun in my vision, the Moon in my mind, Directions in my hearing, Waters in my creative flow, the Earth in my physical body, Medicinal plants in my body hair, and Indra in my strength. With the universe supporting my body and life, I find my vitality held in my heart, leading to knowledge of my true self."
- Translation by Shantala Sriramaiah.

"These practices are like the secret/hidden codes to override corrupt programs [in the mind]. Once you realize that you can access the code and re-write your own programs, you become the creator of your own reality."

"I was not expecting to learn so much and thought at first that it was going to be too hard, but Sri Devi made learning easy and enjoyable. I loved learning to chant Vedic mantras and now know more about Sanskrit as well. Excellent course and excellent teacher. I’m very grateful to have taken this class."

"I am, EVERY DAY, feeling how these practices are the bedrock of my sanity. I chant them every morning on the way to work and it stops the stress chatter and I start to appreciate the beauty all around and I am able to start my day from a place of peace."
