Śivamānasa pūja – creating an inner altar
Saturday Feb 04
10am NY | 4pm Brussels | 8.30pm India
2 hours workshop

Introduction:

Śivamānasa pūja is the mental performance of all the steps of a Pūja traditionally performed physically at an altar, thereby, creating an inner altar through this process. Composed by Śrī Śaṅkarācārya, this chant teaches us how to do a pūja quite vividly in our mind.

Join me to learn these 5 verses, understand their significance in prayer is and offer your mānasika pūja to Lord Śiva during the festival of Śivarātri that follows later in the month. You will have resources to continue practising after the workshop.

At the end of this weekend workshop, you will:

• Learn the hymn Śivamānasa pūja – following chandas (meter) and honouring Sanskrit pronunciation.
