Shantala Sriramaiah teaches Veda recitation to a growing global community of students through her online platform and classes. Inspired by her mother Saroja, who taught chanting classes in their home for over 30 years, she is very grateful for the early exposure to Sanskrit chanting and Indian scriptures through her family tradition and school education. Born and raised in Bangalore, India, Shantala is an Engineer by qualification and enjoyed a 20-year career specializing in Learning & Development before making the change to Veda chanting classes to continue her family tradition. 

Her teaching draws from her previous experience, bringing structure, detail, and clear objectives and methodology to all the classes & courses. She has developed a unique system to accurately and completely transmit all the nuances of Vedic phonetics to help support students learn without error. She is a student of Sri M. S. Sreenivasan of The Challakere Brothers who has been guiding her Veda recitation practice and mentoring her teaching.

 

She lives in Brussels, Belgium with her husband and two small children.
