Nārāyaṇīyaṃ – Learn to Chant

हरि ओम् || Hari Om

This podcast has been created to assist anyone in learning the Nārāyaṇīyaṃ. It has been recorded by Kumar, from the summer of 2020 to the winter of 2023.

He follows the same paddhati (pedagogical approach) as his Gurus. The premise of the paddhati is to break down each sentence into small components, repeat the components until familiar, and then rebuild the sentence.

The script for the Nārāyaṇīyaṃ is widely available online. If you are familiar with Sanskrit or Hindi, please refer to this link (https://narayaneeyam-firststep.org). If you are familiar with English or any other Indian language, please refer to this link (https://vignanam.org/english/narayaniyam-dashaka-1.html).

In order to learn the Nārāyaṇīyaṃ using these recordings, we recommend chanting along with the audio in order to build familiarity and confidence. If a phrase is particularly difficult, we recommend replaying that section of audio before continuing with the rest of the sloka.

If you have any questions, please email us at learntochant[at]outlook.com.

श्री गुरुभ्यो नमः || śrī gurubhyo namaḥ
