Singing the Hanuman Chalisa

7 minutes • Recorded in 2011

The Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional song sung throughout India in honor of Hanuman. It's forty verses recount Hanuman's acts of devotion, courage, and charity in service to his beloved Rām, who is an embodied incarnation of the Divine One. This arrangement is one that I created during a challenging period in my life and sang every day. It was like a life raft that kept me afloat in a stormy sea.
