The complete Hanumān Chālīsā — Tulsīdāsa’s 16th-century Awadhi devotional poem, forty verses and two dohās, with full transliteration. The most widely recited devotional text in the Hindu tradition.
Every Friday 6–8pm, the Ecology Yoga community gathers at Mata’s for two hours of devotional singing — call and response, Sanskrit bhajans, mantras from the Śaiva and Śākta traditions. Recording from a recent gathering.
Every Saturday, the Ecology Yoga community gathers for a havan centred on the Mahāmṛtyuñjaya mantra — the ancient Vedic fire ritual with offering, stotra, kirtan, and saṅkalpa. For healing, transformation, and the cultivation of what the fire does that fire alone can do.
In a hall full of the powerful, every mouth stayed locked while Draupadī was dragged by her hair. Satish Srijan’s poem, performed by Vaishnavi Sharma, gives the enraged queen her interrogation — and her cry. Grace comes not for the powerful, but for the one who calls with meaning.

Sanskrit and Avestan are not cousins — they are siblings. Two voices from one root, still recognisable in each other’s faces across four thousand years of separation.
Bābā Śrī Chand Bhagavān Jī’s Mātrā Sāhib — the foundational composition of the Udāsī order, recited daily by the lineage. Jñāna yoga, tyāga, tapasyā, and sevā distilled into chant.
