Hanuman is an incarnation of Shiva and Vishnu and was born to the Wind God (Vayu- वायु). Because of this, Hanuman is said to rule the Prana, vital life-force.  Even though Hanuman had divine origins, he spent his entire life in devotion and service to Rama (the divine God-King of that time).

Lord Hanuman exemplifies the importance of key virtues like devotion and service in one’s life. ​

When one whole-heartedly offers themselves in service to the Divine, then one is blessed with abilities to surpass any obstacles or challenges in life, including having perfect control of their very life force itself. Thus, is the greatness of Hanuman.

​It is believed that if someone is experiencing any problems, or are faced with a seemingly unsurmountable challenge, or if progress is stuck and/or blocked then praying to Hanuman (the Monkey God) helps them to win over any and all kinds of trials and tribulations.

This Hanuman Chalisa prayer has such immense powers that anyone who chants it with full honesty and true devotion can obtain Hanuman’s grace and achieve all their heart-felt desires.

Here is the wisdom of Ma Dhumavati which is one of the Dasha Mahavidyas: which are the ten Shakti-s that exist in this manifested world, in simple and yet profound words.

That is why they are called Dasha (ten) Mahavidyas (Wisdom Goddesses- or Wisdom Shaktis). Basically each of these Shakti-s represent a profound and unique aspect of creation.

​All of manifestation is only possible because of some Shakti (energy) and these ten- Shaktis are at the very core of everything in this manifested world. 

Embrace time from both sides and get released from its clutches: go from being a time-bound person to a time-less conscious presence!

Sadhana/Practice: Are you able to see the "old in the young" and the "young in the old"? What is young today will be old in time and what is now old, was once young! As you start to  see the profound lesson in this statement, a new dimension of time will open up for you...

Here we present the 108 names of Ma (Mother Goddess) Kali...

Devotees typically chant the name in the sequence to appease and appeal to Maa Kali and obtain love and blessings. 

You could do this as part of your daily sadhana (prayer-routine) or during the four Navratri-s (nine nights of the mother goddess) or during Kali Chaudas, which is a celebratory day during the Diwali or on any Saturday. 

It is particularly potent to pray to  Ma Kali during the black moon (i.e. amavasya, no moon) and during the full moon (Purnima) lunar phases.

​Here we present the 108 names of Ma (Mother Goddess) Kali in the Devnagri script (Sanskrit, Hindi) and also in English transliteration, so people not familiar with the Devnagri script can still easily read the document and conduct this very potent prayer to Goddess Kali.

​Ganesha Chalisa is a devotional song - sung to express adoration and reverence to Lord Ganesha. Many of them recite it daily as a prayer.

There are several Chalisa(s) which are dedicated to Lord Ganapati. We have given one of the popular Chalisa of Lord Ganesha- जय जय जय गणपति गणराजू

The word Chalisa (चालीसा) means a devotional hymn of 40 verses. 

​Ganesh is one of the widely known Hindu deities. This joyously happy and extremely benevolent elephant-faced God is revered and cherished not just by Hindus but also by many people of other spiritual faiths.

All Hindu deities represent cosmic energies that are part of the Divine Universal Energy or the Supreme God-head.  In this regard, Ganesh represents the energy that is capable of removing obstacles and obstructions. 

Due to this, he is revered and paid obeisance before starting any auspicious or important work. His blessings are sought before starting travel to ensure safe, smooth journey and successful completion of work.

As the ruling energy- i.e. the Leader of the Masses- Lord Ganesh is always willing to help and benefit anyone who seeks his guidance.

It is believed that this prayer has such immense powers that anyone who chants it with full honesty and true devotion can obtain Lord Ganesh’s grace and achieve all their heart-felt desires. 

The full Shri Ganesh Chalisa prayer which includes introductory and ending stanzas is provided here in Devanagari script...
