Earlier my son would rush through the verses like a rhyme he'd memorised in school. Now, he actually pauses and tells me little things he learned from the stories. I can see he understands it now. And somehow he's calmer too!

Meet your instructor
I am Priya, the founder of Little Desi and the creator of The Little Shloka Book series which has sold many thousands of copies worldwide.
I'll be your companion for learning the Hanuman Chalisa. I learnt this wonderful chant when I was ten years old, and over time I have enjoyed exploring the stories of Hanuman and the meaning of each word in this powerful chant written in Avadhi. I had the best time creating this course, and I think you are going to absolutely love it too.
We bought this course thinking it would help with chanting. It's become something my children actually look forward to. I myself enjoy watching it with them. The way Priya brings the verses to life with examples and dance mudras is super unique.
Not just chanting.
Memorizing is common. Understanding is magical.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a way to preview the course content before purchasing?
Yes. You can preview some of the lessons for free! This should give you a pretty good feel for what the course will be like.
Go the course dashboard and check out any of the previewable lessons.
Won't this course add to my child's screen time?
Let's face it, some screen time is inevitable. Instead of hyper-stimulating video games and cartoons, we're giving you a calmer, more meaningful alternative. The videos in the course are super fun, often with interesting tasks, and make for excellent family bonding time!
The printable task sheets will further ensure kids are kept busy creatively off-screen.
Why can't I just learn and teach the Hanuman Chalisa from Google or YouTube?
You can try, but it will be a very fragmented experience. You will have to search for the verses and stories separately, and invent your own activities. You will also have to sift through a lot of content that is not suitable for kids.
We have designed the Hanuman Chalisa course to be a complete learning experience. Also, it is not just about learning the verses. It is a safe space for learning about our culture and heritage in a way that is relevant to today's kids, with a focus on Hanuman as a friend and guide.
