Chant & Learn the Hanuman Chalisa
A 13-WEEK ONLINE WORKSHOP
Tuesdays March 10th-June 2nd, 2026
5pm-6pm Pacific online
The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse song to Hanuman, the most devoted servant of Ram, praising his exploits from the spiritual epic 'The Ramayana.' The practice of chanting the Chalisa is a life-changing journey into one’s own heart space, opening us to the love within and without of which we are all a part.
In this online Satsang, we will meet each week to cover another section of the Hanuman Chalisa adding on to what we have learned in previous weeks. The rhythmic cadence of the song is a way to unlock the practice and with this in mind, we will practice both singing & saying the words. Attention will also be given to pronunciation and meaning.
No experience necessary, ALL are welcome. Chant sheets will be sent out prior to the first class.
ALL are welcome to join in on any Tuesday session as a drop-in.
REGISTRATION LINK : HERE
Suggested donation $108 for the 13 week course or $10.08/weekly drop-in.
Please get in touch if you would like to offer a donation for someone else to attend, arrange a payment plan, or request a scholarship.
