The Hanuman Chalisa (Chalis: 40 in Hindi) is a poem by Tulsidas (an Indian
poet and philosopher of the 16th century). It is written in the Awadhi language and consists of 40 verses and is one of the most chanted prayers in India.

It tells a tale of the great physical, mental and spiritual powers of the Lord Hanuman. In Indian mythology, Lord Hanuman represents the devoted servant, who with boundless loyalty and supernatural power always acts as a helper and rescuer. According to the Ramayana, no-one can surpass Hanuman in strength, gentleness and wisdom.

The Hanuman Chalisa has gained enormous popularity in modern-day India.
Many Indians chant it like a prayer every day (or every week, as a rule on Tuesdays and Saturdays).
Each of the 40 verses of the Hanuman Chalisa conveys a special form of blessing and has the power to transform various difficulties in our lives.

Freedom from fear, greater enthusiasm, clarity of thought and self-confidence can result from this.
On these days, the Hanuman Chalisa is recited for up to 10 hours to bind us together with the powerful energy of Hanuman.

In the ancient Indian scriptures it is written that Hanuman himself appears and listens when someone recites the Hanuman Chalisa.

It is also written that negativity, black magic and illnesses disappear from the lives of those who recite the Hanuman Chalisa at least 7 times. We will recite the Hanuman Chalisa 108 times, which - on different levels - will have an enormous effect on all of us. It is important that this process is not interrupted by eating or phone calls. Drinks in the form of water and tea will be provided.

The sound of the mantras helps to calm the mind. It is not necessary to understand its meaning because it is not thought that changes a person, but that which is perceived beyond thought.

Order of events:

Arrival is on Friday evening, 24 June and we meet at 19:00
at the Woodroundhouse in Eigeltingen, near Konstanz.

Spend the night in a tent (brought by yourself) and/or in apartments, a selection of which can be found here: http://www.bodensee-info.com/html/hotels___fewos.html

Please book your own accommodation and if you are coming with a tent or camper please tell us upon booking. For campers and tents there is a fee of EUR 15 per day.

The intensive Kirtan will begin on Saturday 25 June at 10:30 in the wonderful Holzrundhaus.
Bharati will do an introduction to Hanuman and then we will begin together the chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa.

The chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa will last about 10 hours, during which we will take turns depending on vocal ability. Those who would like to fast during the chant and only drink water are encouraged to do so - it contributes greatly to the energy process.

But those who would like to take breaks throughout the chant, are free to do this too, to eat and drink and then rejoin the group for reinvigorated chanting.
When we have finished chanting, the evening will end on a note of high communal energy. Those who would like to bring vegetarian food, may arrange to bring raw foods, salads, wholewheat and organic foods. We will also provide tea and good drinking water during the day. For a small fee, green and vitamin-rich smoothies - an extremely tasty surprise for our cells - may be enjoyed.

On Sunday 26 June, we will begin the Mantra Seminar with Bharati with powerful healing mantras from India.
Mantras are letters, a row of letters, consonants, words, sentences or also a few sentences that are repeated over and over again. You can do this in your thoughts; softly humming them, speaking or singing them or also by energetic movements, called Japa or Sadhana.

Every thought, every word creates an energy field. When hundreds, thousands or even millions of people create the same positive energy field daily, this has a synergistic effect.

If people chant the same mantras and these energy fields were formed hundreds to thousands of years ago all across the world, it is easy to engage with these mantras and this energy.
Higher energy fields give energy to weaker fields. In this way, your own energy field can be raised and your frequencies increased as well as your awareness be expanded. Six billion energy fields daily - what an opportunity to stabilise the energy field of the word, to harmonise it and strengthen it positively, to purify it and raise it to a very high level of
consciousness.

This is achieved through the ancient Sanskrit Mantras, Indian Mantras, because they have been thought and chanted for centuries. It is wise, therefore, to tune into these energy fields.
