In this workshop, you will learn a shanti mantra in Sanskrit Language. Shanti Mantras or “Peace Mantras” are Hindu prayers or sacred utterances usually chanted at the beginning or at the end of a Vedic ceremony invoking peace. 

We will follow the sacred ancient Vedic methodology of teaching a chant, including mnemonic techniques. Hence there is no need of any stationery or  electronic gadgets for the sessions. 

Learning from listening and chanting will be encouraged.

At the end of the workshop, each one of the participants will be able to chant a mantra!

Exploration Day: Walk at the Campus

FACILITATOR: Mr Shikhar Agnihotri

ONSITE EVENT: dates in description

POSTER: click to enlarge

A contemplative walk through nature and around the sacred surroundings of the Theosophical Society headquarters is a unique experience. It certainly qualifies as a "Life-changing moment." Since Blavatsky and Olcott first arrived at this location in 1882, it has had a profound impact and significance in the TS. Along with having a strong spiritual influence, the ashram also functions as a sort of "green lung" for Chennai owing to its unusual geology and topography, which is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Welcome to the Master's Home.
 
During the walk, participants are kindly advised to wear sun protector, comfortable clothes, shoes and headwear, as well as to bring a bottle of water.
