Sanskrit mantras, and the yogic principles represented in these teachings, offer tools to empower and uplift all aspects of our lives.
Guided by the teachings of Namadeva Acharya (Thomas Ashley-Farrand), this Knowledge & Mantra Immersion Workshop offers instruction and group practice in dozens of mantras that enable participants to gain many benefits from the practical application of these lessor known teachings of Vishnu.

Note 1: Namadeva taught that activation of the Kaustubha Gem, which exists in all of us, and Satya Sankalpa comes through Divine grace. Although he wrote that there is “not a mantra that will directly activate” this center, Namadeva taught three mantras that explicitly involve the Kaustubha Gem, plus many indiretly related mantras.
