  ~ Sat, Oct 4, 2025 Shri Ganeshaya Namah (Salutations to Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles) What divine emotion should one invoke?:  Before beginning the Hanuman Chalisa, invoke Lord Ganesha with Śhrī Gaṇeśāya Namaḥ — salutations to the remover of obstacles. By seeking Ganesha’s blessings first, the path of devotion becomes clear and free from hindrances. Next, invoke Devi and Guru — their deeper purpose will soon be revealed. Then, prepare your mind to invoke Hanuman’s blessings through the chanting of the Chalisa, and to receive the siddhis that flow from devoted repetition Doha 1 श्रीगुरु चरन सरोज रज, निज मनु मुकुरु सुधारि। बरनउँ रघुबर बिमल जसु, जो दायकु फल चारि॥ Shrī guru charan saroja raj, nija manu mukuru sudhāri, Baranau Raghubar bimal jasu, jo dāyaku phala chāri.

5. The Journey Begins: Awakening to the Hanuman Chalisa

Image
~ Tue, Sep 30, 2025 Setting the Context Now that we have laid the foundation, let us take the next step—understanding how to read, feel, and interpret the dohas and chaupais of the Hanuman Chalisa. Before we enter into the explanations, it is important to share the background of how this journey began and how we arrived here. The Beginning of the Journey It was in January 2025 when I was blessed with repeated visions of Neem Karoli Baba in my dreams. In those dreams, a task was entrusted to me: to take a deep dive into the Hanuman Chalisa and spread its message. At that time, I did not even know who Baba was. I might have remembered if his name had been mentioned in the dream, especially with the connection to Steve Jobs meeting him. But the towering figure who keeps appearing in my dreams—I just can’t identify who he is based solely on his appearance. By divine arrangement, I stumbled upon his life story on YouTube, and soon after, a dear friend gifted me a beautiful book "Be ...

4. Chalisa Nitya Siddhi Parayana

Image
~ Saturday, Sep 27, 2025 Chalisa Nitya Siddhi Parayana Having explored the many benefits of chanting the Hanuman Chalisa with devotion—and the cautions to keep in mind—we now step into a more systematic and divine practice:  Chalisa Nitya Siddhi Parayana . This is a “sandwiched” daily prayer method designed to amplify the power of the Chalisa by placing it between the core mantras of Shri Rama and Hanuman. With Hanuman’s blessings and divine intuition—shaped by my own practice and enriched by the shared experiences of fellow devotees—this method has gradually been refined into a simple yet powerful daily routine. I call it the sandwiched prayer because the Hanuman Chalisa is carefully enclosed between the Moola Mantra of Rama and Bija Mantra of Hanuman, creating a sacred flow that enhances focus, devotion, and spiritual strength. The practice deepens even further when one chants with awareness of the Chalisa’s meaning, rather than reciting mechanically, and it is am...
