Chants and Mantras
At the Wisdom School we chant to purify body, heart, and mind. We celebrate the ananda (bliss) of Divine Mother’s Loveforce through song and dance along with our Kali-Ki Kula Kirtan (band of sacred musicians.) Enjoy and learn our favorite yogic chants. Brief meanings and Sanskrit words to some of the chants are provided for your practice.
