Hanuman Chalisa

Hanuman Chalisa was composed by legendary poet Tulsidas who was also an ardent devotee of Lord Rama. It has 40 poetic verses, hence the name ‘Chalisa.’ It is widely believed that Hanuman Chalisa has some sort of clandestine divinity associated with it. Anybody can recite the godly 40 verses, irrespective of the age and after a few recitals it automatically registers itself in the memory.

Kirtans with Rob & Melissa Lundsgaard

Kirtan, call and response chanting, is considered to be the heart beat of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of devotion. Rob and Melissa's kirtan is a fresh take on an ancient practice, a blend of powerful Sanskrit mantras with modern, accessible melodies and lush harmonies. Their music has been described as "heart-opening bliss," "joyful medicine," and "love and devotion materialized!"
