Mantra & Harmonium 2 (2026)

Service Description

A mantra and harmonium course led by harmonium teacher, Sangat Dhyan Mantra and Harmonium 2 is a course that is designed to guide you in your continued exploration of playing and singing sacred chants for your own home practice. It is open to anyone who has completed the Beginner Harmonium course, through Kirtan and Kundalini. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn some of your favorite mantras sung by Snatam Kaur! This course will consist of 26 weekly online sessions held over 13 weeks. We begin on Sept 22nd and end on December 15th. Our core class will be taught on Tuesdays at 9am ET for 1.5 hours, and our additional 1 hour mid-week instruction and practice class will meet on a day and time selected together, in our first class. Similar to the structure of Beginner Harmonium, we will focus on vocal practice, rhythmic structure, meaning, history, and pronunciation for each mantra. For this course, you need to have a basic and functional understanding of notation reading and using rhythm with your playing, though we will review these skills throughout the course to help increase proficiency. Please allow for 30-60 minutes of practice time each day while taking the course, for maximum benefit. We will be focusing on the following three Mantras: Ek Ongkar Satgur Prasaad- This chant can assist in clearing the way before you by removing all challenges and obstacles in your life. It helps to shift negative thinking, bringing you into greater alignment with your inner wisdom. Aakhan Jor -33rd Pauri of Japji Sahib- This chant is about deep acceptance, and surrender to Divine Source. Chanting this pauri reminds us of our true nature as Divine beings. Guru Guru Waheguru Guru Ram Das Guru- This chant opens your heart and invokes the protective grace, humility, and miracles of Guru Ram Das ji, the 4th Sikh Guru. Sangat Dhyan has worked with Snatam in different capacities, and has been singing and studying Gurbani kirtan for the last 9 years. Sangat Dhyan has a lovely way of creating a safe container for you to explore and practice what you are learning so that you feel comfortable and at ease within yourself. She enjoys seeing students grow and blossom! I look forward to sharing this experience with you soon! *Monthly payments are available if needed.
