Description
With steady attention, persistence, and an open heart, we begin our journey of cultivating a recitation practice. James opens with an invocation to Ganesha, inviting all parts of ourselves to work together, and then leads us in a call-and-response of verses 2.1-2.10 of the Bhagavad Gita. He recites 8 syllables at a time and then repeats it twice, inviting us to follow along.
Join us by downloading the transliteration of Chapter 2. James begins to chant verse 2.1 at 2:45.

Just downloaded the text, which will be a great study tool! I read the Devanagari really slowly (painfully slowly), so the transliteration is great to have to try and follow along. Still, I find that the recitation is too fast. Perhaps if the first recitation was really slow, and the next 2 faster... To compensate, I just keep going back to the beginning and listening again. (It's a little frustrating and tantalizing simultaneously. TAPAS!)

Aha! Now (months later) I can "hear" so much better! Having studied a bit of Sanskrit, I guess my ear is a little more attuned. So interesting. : )
