Sanskrit Chants by Devika

Devika has learned Sanskrit formally in school and college. In her words, "I really love the sound of the language and it fills me up with life energy. The words are full of wisdom, so I learn from them all the time. My mother Mrs. Gauri Kshirsagar is my first Sanskrit teacher. My paternal grandfather Dr. Shrinivas Kshirsagar instructed me in various Sanskrit scriptures and Vedanta philosophy. At his insistence, I have sung the opening prayer for large Chinmaya Mission gatherings. Later when I went to Pandit Jasraj Institute, I learned to sing many stotras composed by Bade Guruji Pandit Jasraj ji and Guruji Pta. Tripti Mukherjee. So blessed! I like to teach Sanskrit Chants to children and adults. I focus on the meaning, correct pronunciation, recitation, and singing of Sanskrit Chants."
