It means…
1I remember my Guru, who helps me think clearly.
2I clean my mind like wiping a small mirror.
3I speak of Rama’s pure and gentle glory.
4His stories give the four life-values—dharma, artha, kama, moksha.
5Knowing I am still learning, I pray humbly.
6I remember Hanuman, the kind son of the wind.
7Please bless me with strength, focus, and learning.
8And remove all worries and troubles from my heart.

Meet Priya, their teacher
Your child learns every verse from her voice and her hands.

What parents tell us
“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.”
Alok, Ambar’s dad, Bangalore “What surprised me most was how much my daughter is inspired by Hanuman’s stories, the Chalisa’s meaning, and how much she loves reciting it with hand movements. It’s not just chanting, it feels like a real connection!”
Hemali, Mira’s mum, Singapore “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.”
Mira, Vihaan and Dhriti’s mom, Delhi

What parents ask us
The chant is in Awadhi. Will my child keep up?
Yes. Every line comes with its meaning in English, and your child reads along in English or Hindi letters, whichever they know.
Does my child learn it all at once?
No. It comes a few verses at a time: finish one chapter, then start the next.
Can we try it before we buy?
Yes. Five episodes are free for everyone: open them in the Library and try one together this evening.
How long is each episode?
The videos run from 7 to 20 minutes, so one fits before bedtime. Pause anywhere and carry on another day.
How do we open it after paying?
It opens in your Library the moment you pay. Sign in with the email on your order and the six-digit code we send to it. There is no password to remember.
Do I need a printer?
Not to learn the chant: the videos and quizzes need only a screen. The chant and the activity sheets are PDFs to print at home, as many as your family uses.
Can brothers and sisters share it?
Yes, the whole family can watch, chant and print together at home. It is for your own family, though: not a class or a school. Write to us if you teach one.
