Start Where You Are
No flights, no time off work - just eleven mornings. A quiet corner. And forty minutes with a master trained in an unbroken Vedic lineage.
This isn't a stand-in for a Rishikesh residency - that kind of immersion, away from daily-life distractions, is its own experience. What you get here is a solid foundation in Shanti Mantra recitation, and live, direct sense of how Manohar Ji teaches.
Most students who try this course aren’t looking for a shortcut. They are testing waters before committing to something bigger or simply want to steady morning practice they can keep for years. Either way, you are learning from the same teacher, the same tradition just from your own home!
What Are Shanti Mantras?
Shanti means peace. Shanti Mantras are a class of Vedic mantras chanted specifically to invoke peace - for oneself, for all beings, and for the wider world. They are some of the oldest verses in Vedic chanting and among first mantras taught to beginners for a good reason.

Why Chant Them Today
Where personal wellness culture usually asks for calm inside your own head, Shanti Mantras widen the request - to your relationships, your community, the natural world. That's part of why they've endured: in a time of information overload and collective anxiety, asking for peace only for yourself can feel incomplete. You don't need to take this on faith. You'll learn the mantras with correct pronunciation and meaning, and judge for yourself over eleven days of practice.
It’s a small shift in framing but people notice it. Chanting for something beyond yourself tends to change how practice feels, even in just first few sessions.
What the 11 Days Look Like
Each 40-minute live session builds gradually:
Correct pronunciation and phonetics
Sanskrit chanting is precise; you'll learn each syllable properly from the start, not approximate it.
Rhythm and breath placement
How breath and sound work together. The same foundational skill that underlies every deeper mantra practice.
The meaning behind the words
Shanti Mantras aren't recited by rote. You'll understand what you're chanting and why it's structured the way it is.
Daily guided recitation with Manohar Ji live
Real-time correction and guidance, not a pre-recorded video course.
By day 11, you'll be able to recite core Shanti Mantras confidently and understand their meaning — a genuine, usable skill, not just an experience. Because it’s live, Manohar Ji can hear exactly where your pronunciation slips and correct it in the moment. Something no recorded course can offer!
Who This Is For
𑁍 The complete beginner who wants to try real mantra practice before considering travel for it.
𑁍 Anyone in suitable timezone looking for a live mantra chanting class that actually fits their morning, not odd time sessions
𑁍 Someone who loves the idea of a Rishikesh retreat but isn't ready yet for travel, budget, timing or time-off reasons.
𑁍 A returning student who wants a light daily practice between retreats to refresh their Shanti Mantra recitation, or stepping stone toward a longer commitment like a 21-day Vedic mantra sadhna retreat.
If you’re unsure whether online chanting can feel meaningful without being in Rishikesh, that hesitation is common. And usually the first thing students say changes their mind once the live sessions begin.
Enjoyed this and want the full immersive experience? This course is designed as a natural first step toward the 7-Day Mantra Yoga Retreat in Rishikesh - many students use this course to prepare before booking their residency.
Your Teacher: Sh. Manohar Prasad
Manohar Ji trained in the Gurukul of the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in the yoga capital. He has guided students from over 40 countries since 2015. This course brings the same live, direct teaching style he uses in Rishikesh to students who aren't yet able to travel there.
Students often mention the same thing after their first session 0 that his corrections feel personal. Not scripted. That’s the difference a live teacher makes over a recorded one. Manohar Ji is the whole reason our 11-day Shanti Mantra course exists.
