Mātangī, Mantra, and The Mysticism of Sound - Course Two in The FUNdamentals of Tantra Series  Mātangī, one of the Ten Mahāvidya, is associated with the expressed word. Mantra is consciousness manifest as sound, an extension of Vishuddhi. Sanskrit is embodied sound, an expression of manifestation. The Sufi Master, Pir O Murshid Inayat Khan lectured extensively on the Mysticism of Sound.   We meet monthly for 3 months, and we will explore these interrelationships.  There will be weekly homework assignments.  Class begins on September 3, 2024. 

There will be two sections, a live class in Beacon NY and a zoom based class for those who do not live locally.  

Registration fees are $108.

Dates: Sep 2, Oct 3, Nov 3
