P1645 Kirtan/Karina (60min)

我很喜歡梵唱，之前Pure曾在Satsang教過梵唱，平時有的老師也會在課程前後加幾首梵唱，但正式開了Kirtan梵唱課程還是第一次，我非常期待。而且讓我非常驚喜的是，Karina老師還帶了手風琴來，Rachel老師的阿娜答帶了吉他，還有位印度朋友帶了鼓來，Chops協助翻譯也打鼓，真是氣氛滿分~~同學們也好捧場，九樓大教室幾乎都客滿了，Rachel老師也帶Baby來耶，大家圍成一圈。

Wikipedia 定義 Kirtan is call-and-response chanting performed in India's devotional traditions，今天也是用call-and-response的方式練習梵唱。由於只有一小時的時間，所以主要教唱，詞意的部分請同學自行參閱發下的講義，當然也能課後請教老師。Karina說跟練習體位法一樣，剛接觸梵唱時對於發音或是旋律都會覺得難以適應或學習，但只要常常接觸就會習慣了，所以如果可能的話，可以放下講義，用聽的方式去學習熟悉，就跟體位法練習一樣，照著模仿慢慢再注意重點精細化，自然就能熟能生巧了。

TT的晨間練習時加過幾次梵唱內容，因此今天大部份的梵唱我都還算熟悉。Karina選了Guru Prayer、Jaya Shiva Shankara、Yamuna Teera Vihari、Shambho Mahadeva、Bhajo Raadhe Krishna、Kali Ma(還加了「觀音」Ma喔)、還有大家都很熟悉的Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu。

最後一聲OM下課，Karina說如果大家喜歡梵唱課程，原則上每個月會舉辦一次，每次會複習一些教過的梵唱、然後加一些新的。哇，好期待耶:)

下課後我們忙著拍照，Heidi也教完Gentle Flow上來了，她說她本來對上課同學推銷有梵唱課程，但同學們對於「唱歌」似乎有些迷惑，哈哈哈，跟我老公一樣，不解為什麼我一定堅持要上到今天這節梵唱課，這是真正喜歡的人才懂得心情吧~~不過我很乖滴，下午體位法的課程全部取消，老公一通電話來，就趕快下課後陪家人度週末囉。
