Mantra is science of sound from an ancient Indian metaphysical system, based on the premise that the entire Cosmos and all that exists in the Cosmos consists of Sound vibrations or Nãd. The sound of Mantra is therefore derived from the sound current: it exists in Nature and these sounds were perceived and identified initially by Rishis (wise ones) in high states of meditation. This happened thousands of years ago, so the science of Sound (Mantra) from India is very ancient and expands to not only application in daily lives, but also in healing practices, ayurveda, astrology, meditations. If Sound is so powerful that it could create this Universe, then why not try to understand the use of Sound for a better life?

At the same time, music has been used by many Indian masters as an effective and powerful tool for the achievement of certain results in the path towards energy rising and ultimately liberation. The right music applied in meditation techniques can do wonders and the benefits of Sound used in a certain way are powerful and effective. In this retreat these concepts are presented and explained, such as: Mantra practice, Mantra theory, Mantra chanting, Mantra singing, use of Mantra in Meditation, what is not Mantra and how to differentiate, Pranayam, dynamic and passive meditations, relaxation techniques with music, awareness training meditations, etc.

Added to these tools and techniques, Manish shares the wisdom, received and transmitted by different teachers and masters from India, conveying it to the participants through inspiring stories from India, a land which has been focused in the search of truth since thousands of years. Manish presents the “World of Mantra” not only as “mantra singing” but also introducing the actual powerful use of Mantra in its true raw essence. The program is compact, unserious, easy-going, interesting and revealing — designed for any genuine participant of any age, creed and background.

  • Mantra or meditation sessions
  • Pranayam practice with music
  • Nature awareness meditation (outdoors if weather allows)
  • Mantras and sacred music from India – theory and practice
  • Q & A session and sharing wisdom from India
  • Mudra Meditation with music
