Published: Dec. 20, 2023, midnight

Sri Swami Satchidananda, Integral Yoga founder, teaches the pronunciation of the Sanskrit slokas used in daily p\u016bj\u0101, a service of devotion at Chidambaram (the Mahasamadhi Shrine of Sri Swamiji). The p\u016bj\u0101 is offered to the Sivalingam (according to Tamil Saiva tradition, Sri Swamiji's root tradition). In Sanskrit, Siva means \u201causpiciousness,\u201d and lingam means \u201csign\u201d or \u201csymbol.\u201d The Sivalingam symbolizes the Absolute God, the nameless and formless One. \n\nThe slokas are broken into syllables to help one learn to pronounce each portion and then Sri Swamiji chants the entire line.
