How Ancient Language Of Sanskrit Can Change Your Life

 

 

 

Ashland, Oregon - Come to the Rogue Valley Metaphysical Center on

Tuesday, July 18 at 7 pm to hear how the ancient language of

Sanskrit can change your life. Andrea and Sara Forman are two

sisters with an early love of the Sanskrit language. Both sisters

had been exposed to the ancient Pujas and Yajnas done by priests

from India which ignited their love of the Sanskrit sound.

Slipping in and "borrowing" her mother's Vedic books from the study

became an obsession for nine-year-old Andrea, as she had an

indescribable drive to read the ancient texts. By the end of her

ninth summer, Andrea was "hooked" on Sanskrit! Her parents

recognized she had a special gift, and helper her contact Sanskrit

scholars in her unwavering pursuit of the ancient language. As

Andrea describes it herself, "It wasn't so much that I was trying to

learn a new language, as it was that I was remembering one I already

knew."

 

As Andrea became exposed to all the different aspects of this

revered "language of the gods", she realized she needed someone to

chant the ancient texts with her. Her eyes naturally fell on her

younger sister, and with that, Sara became a part of an ancient

tradition.

 

A natural, Sara could read the ancient Devanagari script almost

immediately, and Andrea was content. She now had the ability to

chant the ancient texts as they were intended, with the resonance of

two voiced powerfully intertwined. Sometimes they even pulled their

little brother, Micah, up on stage with them, and the audiences

loved it!

 

Within a few years, the sisters were performing to sold-out crowds

and producing a CD became a necessity. Andrea and Sara needed

someone who would understand their love of Sanskrit and would help

them pull together all the creative elements
