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

Priya

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.

How do I login to access the course?

You can login to your course dashboard using your Gmail email address or an OTP that will be sent to your email.

What age group is this course for?

The course is designed for kids of age 5 to 12. However, we have had kids as young as 3 and as old as 15 go through the course and enjoy it thoroughly.

For younger kids, we recommend that parents go through the course with them. We have had many parents tell us that they enjoyed the course as much as their kids did!

How long does it take to complete the course?

The course is designed to be completed in about 3 months. However, you can go through it at your own pace.

You have lifetime access to the course, so you can revisit it anytime you want.

Does the course require any prior knowledge?

No prior knowledge is required!

The course is designed for learners of all levels, including those with no prior familiarity with the Hanuman Chalisa. The content is presented in a beginner-friendly manner, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of their background or experience.

What is the language of instruction?

The course is taught in simple English. Even if your child isn't very fluent, with a little assistance, they will easily understand and enjoy the content.

How do I access the printable task sheets and art sheets?

You will be able to download high quality PDFs of all the art sheets and task sheets. We recommend taking colour printouts on A4 size paper.
