Nāda Yoga: Sanskrit & Sacred Sound

An Introduction to Sanskrit for Yoga and Sacred Sound Meditation.
The sounds of the Sanskrit language (created as mantra, after all) are harmoniously blended; so that while the language displays the unambiguous precision of mathematics, it also expresses the eloquence of music. The arrangement of the Sanskrit alphabet, designed to sequentially follow the resonance of spanda (pulsation) and the power of prana (life force as breath), clarifies your mind and brings your focus to your own embodied experience of sound vibration. That clear, embodied experience becomes a euphonic pathway of ​Nada Yoga–the direct realization of infinite creative power.
