Hanuman Chalisa with Satyananda and Band

The Hanuman Chalisa is a wonderful song for Hanuman, the divine servant and monkey god. Chalisa means 40 verses. Written by Tulsidas, one of the great Indian saints, Rama worshippers, Hanuman devotees, poets and musicians of the 18th century.

Listen to a recording from the Yoga Vidya Satsang in Bad Meinberg, Germany. Satyananda and his band perform this kirtan in wonderful way.
