Sanskrit chanting – Online (Free)

Join us for a gentle and enriching introduction to Sanskrit through the beautiful and powerful verses of Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita over 3 weeks. This course offers a unique opportunity to experience Sanskrit not just as an academic subject, but as a living, vibrant language that continues to inspire spiritual seekers across the world. Over the course of three weeks, we’ll come together online to learn how to chant selected ślokas (verses) from Chapter 3—Karma Yoga, the path of selfless action. This chapter offers timeless insights from Lord Krishna on how to live with purpose, detachment, and clarity.

Fully Online Course

Each Zoom session will guide you step-by-step through the correct pronunciation and rhythm of the verses, using the IAST (International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration) system. This makes the course particularly accessible to European learners and anyone new to Sanskrit, as it uses familiar Roman letters to represent the sounds of the language. No prior knowledge of Devanagari or Sanskrit grammar is required.

Audio reference files

You will be supplied with audio files after each class like the file below for reference and to perfect pronunciation while you practice between classes.

Ongoing support

You’ll be supported in developing confidence with chanting, and each participant will have the chance to engage directly by reading and reciting verses aloud. We’ll also take time to pause and reflect on the deeper meaning of selected passages, allowing the philosophical wisdom of the Gita to gently unfold as we chant.

What to Expect:

• Guided chanting of Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita
