Vedic Chanting; Uncover the Timeless Art of this Transformative Practice

Learn the art of Vedic chanting with Tara Mitra, deeply rooted in the Krishnamacharya lineage and guided by over a decade of study with Vedic priests. These immersive courses introduce you to Guru Shishya Parampara—the oral tradition of passing sacred texts verbally for centuries to preserve their purity and essence; from teacher to student. 

Through the study of Shruti, learning to listen and the foundational rules of chanting, you will develop a precise and authentic practice. Tara will guide you in reading transliterations of the Devanagari script, while also helping you connect with the deeper meanings behind the mantras.

More than just a practice, Vedic chanting, when learned correctly,  becomes a contemplative tool for drawing your senses inward and achieving greater focus. It empowers you to transcend mental distractions, enhance memory, and harmonize the mind and body. Whether energizing, calming, or centering, the chants are selected to bring clarity and stability to your life.

In addition, Vedic chanting with Tara provides a safe supportive environment for you to find your voice. For those seeking to uncover their inner sound and strength, this practice offers a powerful and transformative pathway. Under Tara’s compassionate guidance, you will cultivate confidence and connect with the profound power within your voice. 

Tara’s structured courses integrate the six traditional rules of chanting (Varna, Svara, Matra, Balam, Sama, Santana), and more, ensuring an authentic and meaningful experience. 

Confidently chant traditional Vedic mantras while uncovering their profound meanings with precision, authenticity, and clarity.

What is Vedic Chanting?

Vedic Chanting is a timeless and sacred practice rooted in the ancient Vedas—India’s oldest spiritual texts. Through the power of sound, rhythm, and breath, Vedic chanting connects practitioners to deeper layers of consciousness, fostering mental clarity, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. Chanting has the ability to lift the mind out of distraction, repetitive or negative thought patterns, offering a profound sense of peace, presence, and inner stillness.

Why is Vedic Chanting Important in Today's World?

Vedic chanting serves as a transformative practice, helping to shift the mind away from negativity and distraction. In today’s fast-paced world, where mental busyness and negativity often dominate, Vedic chanting creates space for deeper awareness and calm. Whether calming a restless mind or energizing for focus, chanting provides a powerful tool to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit.

  • In a world that is always telling you to push harder, hustle, and get ahead at all costs, Tara offers a much needed alternative: soften, slow down, be present and conscious, and ultimately, heal. Then, you can go on to take on the world should you choose to do so.

  • I have found Pranayama to be astonishingly effective at calming my nervous system and overactive brain, while at the same time giving me the ability to focus, in a highly concentrated way on my work. I always thought until then that cooling, relaxing breath would have the opposite effect, making me not want to work! But in fact, by activating the vagus nerve, it gives me a level of chill that is super powerful, particularly when I write and have client meetings. As a marketer for decades and now my own firm, I have found it to be a surprisingly powerful tool and highly recommend it to others.

  • Tara’s encouragement and knowledge helped me grow and become more aware of myself and my impact on my life and others in this world. Through her philosophy courses and studies, chanting retreats and workshops to the compassionate individual yoga therapy I received, Tara’s gentle nature and strength are to be admired. She has an extensive network and studies with the most amazing teachers in her lineage. Led by her teachings and guidance, she is dedicated to maintaining the integrity and spiritual heritage of mantra, chanting and yoga philosophy. Her teaching is strict (true to her lineage) but supportive and encouraging with her students and their studies.
