Chandas - The Vedic Metres by Dr. Shreehari Gokarnakar (OLA 28)

Being one of the Vedangas, chandas play a significant role. The Rukpratishakhya mentions that the knowledge of chandas results in fame, long life, joy, growth and auspiciousness. Bharatamuni's Natyashastra quotes that there is no word without chandas and no chandas without a word. Through the study of chandas, a learner is able to understand various structural patterns of Vedic hymns. Nevertheless, chandas are the base of classical metres like shardulavikridita. Dr. Shreehari V. Gokarnakar, Assistant Professor at Amrita Darshanam, International Centre for Spiritual Studies, Chennai, speaks on Vedic prosody in this introductory session titled ‘Chandas—The Vedic Metres’. Dr. Gokarnakar is describing the structural analysis of the Vedic metre (chanda) and its distinction from the classical metre (vrittam). Register to join the webinar session NOW!
