Chanting with Kate: Unveiling the Magic of Pancamaya and Candranamaskrtya
Sanskrit is vibrational in many ways. It's not just sort of holding out for the sake of it. It gets into your system on a very subtle level. So it's a very, very cleansing practice and, broadly speaking, yoga is about cleansing and not necessarily in the way that we loosely might initially think of that in the west.
Imagine tapping into the ancient wisdom of yoga through the power of your own voice. In this episode of 'Serenity in Sound', Kate Bendall, affectionately known as the Dunedin Yoga Lady, takes listeners on a journey through the transformative practice of chanting. Kate introduces two traditional chants, Pancamaya and Candranamaskrtya, each with its own unique purpose and significance. Pancamaya, composed by TKV Desikachar, delves into the layers of the human system, offering a pathway to deeper self-understanding.
Meanwhile, Candranamaskrtya glorifies the moon, bringing a sense of peace and harmony to those who chant it. Through these mantras, Kate explains how chanting can serve as a tool for protection, guidance, and removing obstacles from our lives. She also highlights the vibrational power of Sanskrit, emphasizing how these ancient sounds can cleanse both body and mind. But chanting isn't just about the words; it's about the connection between yoga and sound.
Kate touches on this relationship, offering insights into how sound and vibration play a crucial role in the healing process. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or just starting out, this episode provides a fascinating glimpse into the deeper dimensions of yoga. So, if you're curious about how chanting can enhance your practice and bring about a sense of inner peace, tune in to 'Serenity in Sound' with Kate Bendall.
