Acharya Mangalananda of Ma Sharanam Ashrams will present a class on the science of sound in the Yogic Tradition, manifested through mantras and chanting. Real healing comes from the inside out. Mantras heal, balance and awaken our inner nature, granting us a vibrant well-being. We will experience using sound vibrations inwardly in a meditative state by doing outward be chanting. We will also learn a Kriya for tuning the chakras to the Elements of Nature, allowing us to feel more of the unity of life. Be in a state of balance and poise.
Mangalananda is an American direct disciple of the great woman Saint Anandamayi Ma (1896-1982), mentioned in Yogananda’s “Autobiography of a Yogi”.
