Sanskrit Chants by Devika "I love to sing hymns in Sanskrit. This amazing cultural activity brings abundant light into my life. When I teach Sanskrit Chants to children and adults, I focus on the meaning, correct pronunciation, recitation, and singing of various Sanskrit Chants from ancient Indian scriptures. I share my knowledge and blessings with anyone who wishes to learn and participate. (https://soundcloud.com/devikathakkar/shiv-panchakshara-stotra) My mother, Mrs. Gauri Kshirsagar, is my first Sanskrit teacher. My paternal grandfather, Dr. Shrinivas Kshirsagar, instructed me in various scriptures and the Vedanta philosophy. At his insistence, I have sung the opening prayer for large Chinmaya Mission and other gatherings. While studying music at the Pandit Jasraj Institute, I learned to sing many Sanskrit stotras composed by Bade Guruji Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj ji and Guruji Pta. Tripti Mukherjee ji. So grateful and blessed! I have also taught Indian Classical music to children and adults for 7 years in New York and New Jersey. This was part of my learning program at the Pandit Jasraj Institute. Singing Sanskrit compositions in melodious raagas is a blissful experience - one that cannot be described in words. One has to experience it first-hand. It is a source of incredible life energy!" - Devika Thakkar Devika is an engineer and a musician.
