Hanuman Chalisa

We chant the Hanuman Chalisa - the sacred mantra in honor of Lord Hanuman - nine times together every Tuesday. Following the Hanuman Chalisa, we celebrate an aarti, a light ceremony as practiced in India in which we honor the divine.

40 verses praising Hanuman, the breath of God (Lord Ram)

In India, Hanuman ji is considered a symbol of such pure and absolute devotion to God (Ram) that he is referred to as the ‘Breath of Ram’ and therefore is a path of coming closer to God.

On Tuesdays, the Mangalam (= blessing) day, millions of devotees sing the Hanuman Chalisa – a form of meditation on the deeds and qualities of Lord Hanuman. This chant is also sung in the presence of the sick and dying and is repeated 108 times during a special ceremony to obtain Hanuman ji's blessings.

Om Hanumate Namah

  • These contributions — and especially the regular contributions made by Ma’s devotees — help sustain the Ashram. They also made Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir possible in the first place. This has been the custom in this Ashram for almost 40 years.
  • By proceeding to Registration you will find the exact contribution for each event.
  • A short visit to offer Pranam in the temples is possible at any time during opening hours. In this case, the Ashram asks for a donation.
