Show Notes
Composed by Jagadguru Adi Shankararachya, Hanumat Pancharatnam is a stotram of five gems in praise of Hanuman, the greatest bhakta/devotee of Bhagavan Rama.
Hanuman has become the beloved of all due to his unparalleled courage, power and devotion. When one prays to him, he is very quick to respond, especially as he still roams the earth as one of the 7 chiranjeevis.
The phalashruti, (verse mentioning the results of chanting the stotram) says that whoever reads this Hanumat Pancharatnam will enjoy a long life, all pleasures in this world, and become the possessor of devotion to Shri Rāma.
Love for Rama is love for all that one loves and revels in, which is the limitless self, Atma.

Guru Paduka Stotram is a powerful set of well-known devotional verses that glorify the sacred “Padukas (Sandals) of the Guru. Why are the padukas or sandals sacred? Because of association with the feet of the guru. In the Vedic culture, the guru as well as his/her feet are worshipped. The feet represent the path taken by the teacher, the path prescribed by the Vedas of a life of Dharma and Moksha. The verses in this stotram describe the glory of the Guru-padukas, the qualities of the guru and how a seeker’s life transforms with a Guru’s grace. We look into the meaning and revel in the Guru's grace.
Devi Saraswati also known as Devi Sharada is revered as the goddess of knowledge, education, learning, arts, speech, poetry, music, purification, language and culture.
When our desires are fulfilled we find ourselves to be happy and when they are not fulfilled, we are unhappy and restless.
The Hindu way of life is neither new nor old. It is Sanatana, eternal and so it is both, new and old.
Devi Annapurna is the goddess of food and nourishment. She is called the mother of the three worlds and gives to everyone what only a mother gives, naturally and freely – food. She bears no weapons in her hands, but rather carries a cooking pot and a spoon. As giver of food she is the giver of life.
