Vedic Chanting Vancouver
Welcome
VCV's purpose is singular: to share in the practice of recitation of the Veda, in the method of the Taittirīya Prātiśākhya.
We preserve the teaching methodology of the Challakere tradition, as taught by our teacher Shantala Sriramaiah and her guru Sri M.S.Sreenivasan. Please refer to Shantala's website, Veda Studies, to explore her online offerings.
This practice will benefit all those who wish to learn the authentic method of chanting in Vedic Sanskrit. By doing so, you will refine your Sanskrit pronunciation and become confident in navigating the differences between chanting traditions. However, the real benefits are left to grace, knowable only to yourself.
