Facilitator’s Spiritual Grounding

  • Invoke your lineage (Guru-parampara) or personal Ishta Devata before the session.
  • Anchor the session with a brief sankalpa: ‘May this knowledge serve the welfare of all beings and the environment.’
  • Maintain a compassionate, non-judgmental tone; honor śraddhā (faith) and viveka (discernment).

Learner Engagement Tips

  • Begin with a short invocation or 3 rounds of Om; end with a Shanti Mantra.
  • Use Sanskrit terms with clear English gloss; invite questions with humility.
  • Incorporate dyads (pair-sharing) and brief journaling to deepen reflection.
  • Leverage breakout rooms (for live) or forum prompts (for LMS) for peer learning.
