• What You’ll Experience:
  Sanskrit Alphabet Intro: Discover how tuning your Sanskrit pronunciation adds power and beauty to your chanting.
  Apply to the Mantra: Practice a Rāga-based Kīrtan chant, learning the Sanskrit words, melody, and rhythm in a fun, accessible way.
• [Optional] Harmonium Basics: Try out the harmonium and see how it supports group chanting (no experience necessary! Bring your harmonium if you have one!)
• Afternoon Rāga: Explore melody and Rāga in a playful, supportive environment—Anandra’s unique approach makes it easy and fun.
• Rhythm & Variations: Get into the groove with rhythmic patterns, melodic variations, and creative vocal layering. (Beginners to advanced, all voices welcome; there’s a musical role for everyone!)
• Group Harmony: Experience the magic of chanting together—blending voices, harmonizing, and creating a joyful, resonant soundscape as a group.
• From Workshop to Concert: Be Part of the Main Event!
  The chant you learn in the workshop will become the heart of the evening concert, where everyone (plus guest musicians!) joins together in a powerful, collective Kīrtan experience.

This is an empowering chance to feel the thrill of singing in community—not just listening, but truly participating and co-creating the music! Devotion is skill, and skill is devotion… we will refine your mantra chanting, nāda yoga, and chant leader skills at this workshop. No experience needed—just bring your curiosity, your voice, and your love for chanting!

Come for the learning, stay for the joy, and leave with your heart and voice fully inspired. All are welcome. Bring your harmonium, Kartals, and mrdangam if you have them! Let’s tune our bhakti as we set our chanting on fire—together!

What Her Students Say:

“After decades of chanting Sanskrit mantras millions of times, I finally experienced a breakthrough—simply by learning to pronounce the sounds correctly! Just three hours of studying Sanskrit pronunciation with Anandra felt like removing a dam that had been blocking the flow. Suddenly, everything opened up and started to flow naturally.”
– Stephen Lynch

“I’ve been chanting mantra for 33 years but nothing like the way Anandra teaches… It has profoundly altered my inner experience…” – Gangaji

“Having studied Sanskrit at the tertiary level, I was craving the connection and vitality I knew was possible from mantra but which is missing in the more intellectual, academic approach that a university framework requires. Anandra’s careful practice instruction allowed me to access and become intimate with the vibration of the sounds within myself and to embody the sonic foundation of this magical language. It is nourishment for my soul! I was also really impressed with her knowledge, her commitment to authenticity in sharing that knowledge, and her transparency about its limitations.” – Yolanda French, Graduate, Sydney University, E-RYT 200, YACEP

“I was never good at languages, but my brain seems to resonate with Sanskrit. I can almost feel the new neural pathways growing! I certainly feel the effects of correctly pronouncing the mantras in my body, soul and mind.” – James, Canada

“Wow…just listened to a (former) favorite kīrtan artist…first time since starting this course and…MIND BLOWN. In the past I did have a pretty good ear from being Indian-American, but now being able to pick out the exact letters being mispronounced is a GIFT!” – Marla Mangla Pelletier, Owner at InwardOffice.com

“Anandra’s teachings on how to make the Sanskrit sounds have revolutionized my chanting practice! I am one of those many chant lovers who didn’t know what I didn’t know… but after learning the alphabet sounds with her Tantrik approach, the mantras I loved dearly before have come alive in profoundly awesome new ways!”
– Siddhi Śakti, a mantra teacher from Australia
