The course content is based on 10+ years of intensive personal research as well as long term study with the late Prof. R.L. Kashyap, founder of SAKSHI, an institute dedicated to the revival of Vedic knowledge. He received the Padmaśrī award from the President of India for his contribution to Literature & Education. Prof. Kashyap also taught me how to approach commentaries and how to be discerning with translations.

The uniqueness of this course is that I am a chanting practitioner. This is central to my life and teachings. All theory I study or teach, emerges from my practice of chanting the Veda, of which I have studied a very wide range of texts from my Guru, Sri. M.S. Sreenivasan. I am grateful for continuing study in the Guru-Śiṣya parampara (1-2-1 mentoring) with full understanding of the source and arrangement Vedic texts. The living tradition is informed by texts outside the Veda, but within the Indian Knowledge Systems framework, which will be covered in this course.
