Mantra: The navagraha mantraFor Halloween and All Saints, we explore a mantra fostering harmony between the nine planets in Jyotish, vedic astrology. As well as reciting this beautiful, calming chant we will discuss the qualities and symbolism of each planet.
Mantra is a core practice in the Indian tradition. It is often through of as sacred sounds with powerful effects in the mind, body and breath. It is related to flow of life force and has a balancing effect. Through its deep listening and meditative effects, it will take you deeper into the state of yoga.
