I have been immersed in sacred sound since birth and have learned and practiced mantra, bhajan/kirtan, and raga from a very young age. In this course I will bring in knowledge from my Gurus, lectures, parents, friends, aunties and uncles, as well as from doing my own personal research. In the last 4 years, I have been focusing on Dhrupad, an ancient form of singing from the Sama Veda and have completed a Raga Therapy certification. I present only what I have learned and personally practice.
