MANTRA RAHASYA : SECRETS OF SOUNDS. This is the second consecutive CEU Seminar being held specially for KHYF Yoga Teacher Trainers so as to enhance the standards among their own students and become even better teachers. Mantra-s, are one among the many tools in Yoga, that are the means to reach the core within us. The beauty of a Mantra lies in its inherent nature of being subtle, yet powerful, capable of creating a trasformation. Mantras can be interpreted in various ways and its use is widespread. However, little is known about the principles and practice of mantra-s, especially among the yogi-s of the modern era. This could be attributed to a few reasons, including the belief of many traditional yogi-s that not everyone was ready for mantra practice, and hence guarded them very carefully. Another reason is that many of these mantra-s were taught through an oral tradition, and little documentation was done concerning this topic. We are fortunate to have had an extraordinary yogi in T Krishnamacharya, who not only was an expert in the field of mantra-s, but also provided a means to understand and apply these principles for serious yoga practitioners. A synthesis of this knowledge is what will be offered through this special seminar. Some of the topics that will be dealt with are * Definitions of Mantra-s * Kinds, Classification & Components of Mantra-s * Fundamental Philosophical Principles of Mantra-s * Parameters to consider when initiating Mantra practice * Conventional procedure for practicing Mantra-s * Stages of Mantra Practice * Applicability of Mantra practice for different purposes * Role of Mantras in Meditation, and its applications * Examples of commonly used Mantra-s and how they can be practiced. * Meaning and symbolism of commonly used Mantra-s Who can participate? The seminar is open only to KHYF Yoga Teacher Trainers, and some of the KHYF members who are students of TKV Desikachar for more than 15 years. Other
KHYF Yoga Teachers, who have teaching experience of more than 15 years,
