For countless generations in India, this mantra of Ṛṣi Viśvāmitra has been repeated with an unquestioned faith in the sacred character of the origin and certainty of its efficacy. It forms one part of an elaborate daily practice done by Hindus called, Sandhyāvandanam. My teachers advise that the complete practice of Sandhyāvandanam requires a formal initiation ceremony. However, the core practice of forming a Saṅkalpa (an intention/vow), prāṇāyāma with mental recitation of an extended form of Gāyatrī mantra followed by japa (repetition of mantra for specific counts) is open to all seekers with śraddhā (devoted commitment) as the main qualification.
This mini workshop was created under the guidance of Sri M.S. Sreenivasan of The Challakere Brothers, and taught to my teacher, Shantala Sriramaiah, who has offered her blessing for me to share it with my students. I hope you enjoy this study and will benefit from a daily sacred practice to help guide your days with clarity, devotion, commitment and joy.
ATTENDEES BRING: Journal & pen, and perhaps a digital device to download the workshop workbook
