✨ 40-Day Hanuman Chalisa Sadhana ✨
with Govind Das & Rama Chandra Das .das.108 .chandra.das

There is something deeply transformative that happens when we show up… day after day… and offer our hearts in devotion. ❤️

We warmly invite you to join us for a 40-day Hanuman Chalisa Sadhana — a sacred journey into the heart of Bhakti, right from your own home.

Each day on Zoom, we will:
• Chant the Hanuman Chalisa together
• Learn a new line and refine pronunciation
• Dive into the meaning and stories of Hanuman’s divine Lilas
• Share in a powerful, uplifting community of devotion

This is more than a practice… it’s a daily return to love, courage, and grace. A rhythm of devotion that gently reshapes the heart and anchors you in something timeless.

Whether you are brand new or have been chanting for years, this container is here to support, inspire, and deepen your connection.

🔥 Come as you are
🏡 Practice from your home
🤍 Be held in community

Let Hanuman guide you through these 40 days — removing obstacles, opening the heart, and awakening devotion within.

We would love to have you with us.

New 40 day round starts May 5!Hanuman Chalisa 40 Day Online Sadhana
with Govind Das & Rama Chandra Das
MAY 5 - June 13, 2026
Join Govind Das and Rama Chandra Das
as your tour guides through the rich devotional tapestry of the Chalisa. Every day during the Zoom satsang, Govind Das and Rob will sequentially introduce a new line for study and memorization, proper pronunciation, share stories about Hanuman-ji, and, of course, sing the Chalisa!

The Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional hymn/prayer written by the Bhakti saint Tulsidas 500 years ago. For the past 5 centuries, the Chalisa has been a central prayer in the Bhakti Yoga tradition praising and glorifying Lord Hanuman, the divine monkey and pure embodiment of love, service, devotion, humility, strength and protection.

This is a great opportunity to learn the Hanuman Chalisa in community and friendship, with structure and guidance. Jai Sita Ram! Jai Hanuman! PS. Even if you already know the Chalisa, this will be a wonderful chance to deepen your relationship and connection with Hanuman and this inspiring practice!

GoFundMe: LINK IN BIO:
Please consider supporting Shiva and his family.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the sudden passing of our dear brother, Shiva Baum—a radiant soul, a devoted son, and a pillar in the global Bhakti community. Shiva was more than a friend to so many of us—he was family. His presence brought warmth, laughter, devotion, and a deep sense of connection wherever he went. Through kirtan, service, and simply the way he lived, he uplifted countless hearts around the world.

But above all, Shiva was a loving and dedicated son. He was the primary caretaker for his mother, Radha Baum, supporting her day-to-day life with unwavering love and commitment. His passing has left not only an immense emotional void, but also a very real and immediate financial challenge for Radha and his father Mohan. We are coming together as a community to support his family during this incredibly difficult time.

Funds raised will go toward cremation and memorial expenses, immediate living and housing costs, and ongoing support as Radha and Mohan navigate life after his passing. Shiva gave so much to all of us—now it is our turn to give back. If you were ever touched by his kindness, his devotion, or his presence, we invite you to contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this page is a powerful way to help. Let’s come together in the spirit of seva (selfless service) and love—the very qualities Shiva embodied so fully. May we honor his life by supporting the ones he loved most. With love and gratitude, the community.

Ram Ram
