CTU at Hanuman Mandir — Nama Ramayanam & Hanuman Chalisa

In continuation of the 40th year festivities of the Chicago Tyagaraja Utsavam, CTU trained children and adults chanted the Nama Ramayanam and Hanuman Chalisa at the Hanuman Mandir of Greater Chicago in Glenview, IL on Saturday, 3 Sep 2016.

This CTU group was trained by Smt. Maragatham Mani according to the Smt. M.S.Subbulakshmi style.  The participants assembled at 4:45 PM for the chanting to begin at 5 PM.  After chanting both Nama Ramayanam and Hanuman Chalisa once, the group chanted the Nama Ramayanam again at the special request of the temple authorities.

Chicago Tyagaraja Utsavam welcomed the Hanuman Mandir to the Chicago community with a token contribution of 50 copies of a colored poster that graphically represented the actions symbolized by each Hanuman Chalisa slokam in Sanskrit.

Chicago Tyagaraja Utsavam thanks the Hanuman Mandir of Greater Chicago for this unique opportunity.

All participants received the blessings of Lord Hanuman in the form of the prasadam (Chundal, Kesari and Curd Rice) prepared by CTU volunteers.
