Kundalini and the Science of OM Immersion Series

This cutting edge presentation was recorded live on October 28th, 2018.

In this introductory session, we will uncover the central place of ‘OṂ’ and sacred sound in the ancient roots of the Yoga tradition. Students will be introduced to the Gāyatrī Mantra in its original context, as we discover how the truth-seekers of the Vedas engaged the liberating power of sacred sound in their daily ritual practice. This will include a reading from the most important Goddess Hymn of the Rig Veda: the Hymn to ‘Vāch,’ the Goddess of Sacred Speech.
