A SANGEETMAYA AMRITKALASH

Chh. Sambhaji Nagar
Hari Aum!
My humble prostrations at the Holy feet of Shree Guru Parampara.
I was blessed with the opportunity to be in Kolkata along with few more devotees from CSN, Faridabad and Assam to attend Maa ji's three days discourse on Sree Hanuman Chalisa.
Kolkata, once my home, will always hold a special place in my heart. Despite its few imperfections, the city evokes countless precious memories and a deep sense of belonging. I was filled with joy and anticipation, eagerly looking forward to being in Maa ji's presence once again. On 15th July, we offered Sree Guru paad puja our obeisance at the Holy Feet of our Guru, at Chamaria House where Maa was staying.
The discourse was held at Rotary Sadan and was aptly titled "Sangeetmaya Amritkalash” - The Essence of Sree Hanuman Chalisa. True to its name, it was a beautiful confluence of devotion, music, and spiritual wisdom. The serene ambience, the melodious chanting, and the divine vibrations transformed the hall into a sacred space.
With remarkable clarity and compassion, Maa unfolded the meaning of every single line of the Hanuman Chalisa, explaining not only its literal significance but also how it should be recited—with awareness, devotion, and complete surrender. We often rush through our prayers, eager to finish them. Maa reminded us that when we pause to contemplate the meaning of each verse while chanting, the Hanuman Chalisa ceases to be a mere prayer and becomes a powerful guide for inner transformation.
Every explanation was beautifully interwoven with soulful bhajans, exquisitely rendered and accompanied on the harmonium by Suridhji, one of Maa' s devoted disciples. His heartfelt music perfectly complemented Maa's discourse, creating an atmosphere where every word seemed to touch the heart.
Most of the attendees were well known to Maa, having attended Her classes during the years she regularly visited Kolkata for Her public discourses. Many among them were also our friends and relatives. It was heart-warming to meet so many familiar faces, and the entire gathering felt like one large spiritual family united by love and devotion.
Those three days were nothing short of magical. Time seemed to flow effortlessly, and before I knew it, the program had come to an end. I returned with a heart overflowing with gratitude, countless cherished memories, and a renewed inspiration to deepen my sadhana. Some experiences cannot be described in words—they can only be felt. These three blessed days were one such experience that will remain etched in my heart forever.
My humble prostrations and gratitude at the Holy Feet.
