6 mins

This special Sanskrit class is typically what we use to open a yoga class, workshop or lecture. Rama walks us through pronunciation and highlights a few important aspects of Sanskrit transliteration. om Saha nāvavatu Saha nau Bhunaktu Saha Vīryaṁ Karavāvahai tejasvinā Vadhītamastu Mā Vidviṣāvahai oṁ Shānti Shānti Shānti om. May that protect us both, teacher and disciple. May that cause both to enjoy (the Bliss of liberation). May we both exert (to find out the true meaning of the Scriptures). May our learning be brilliant. May we never hate each other. om, Peace, Peace, Peace.
