What does chanting of Vedic hymns do to us? How have the students benefitted from chanting these mantras over the years? How has Vedam chanting been an integral part of Dasara celebrations in Prasanthi Nilayam for more than five decades?

Dr N Shivkumar, the current Director of the Brindavan Campus of SSSIHL, has been fortunate to be part of the Prasanthi Vedam Group right from his student days in the 1980s. In this video, we have extracts of a conversation with him wherein he recalls his association with this festival in Puttaparthi for over four decades and also shares beautiful instances of miracle and grace that he has experienced as a student as well as a teacher, thanks to his love for Vedam chanting which drew Bhagawan’s blessings on him in abundance.
