Hanuman Jayanti Festival– Saturday, April 12

11 AM, Hanuman Chalisa recitation 11 times (Free Event – All Are Welcome!)

Hanuman Jayanti is the celebration of Hanuman’s birth, the embodiment of selfless service, strength, and devotion to Sri Ram. Together, we will chant the Hanuman Chalisa 11 times, invoking his grace and protection. The morning of devotion will conclude with prasad lunch.

1  to 2 PM, Prasad Lunch 

2 to 4 PM, Kirtan with Sharanam Anandma

We are incredibly blessed to welcome Sharanam Anandama, a lifelong seeker, musician, and spiritual adventurer whose journey spans over five decades of devotion, music, and service. From the heart of San Francisco’s Flower Power movement to the sacred gatherings of Neem Karoli Baba’s devotees, Sharanam has been deeply immersed in the world of bhakti, kirtan, and dharma.

A Journey Through Bhakti and Music

In 1973, at a major concert in San Francisco’s legendary Winterland, Sharanam had a life-changing encounter with Neem Karoli Baba’s presence through Ram Dass and the early kirtan pioneers—Krishna Das, Bhagavan Das, and Jai Uttal. This experience set him on an irreversible path toward yoga, kirtan chanting, and Eastern spirituality, transforming his life into one of devotion and musical expression

Bhakti Dham is a space for all to share in this divine offering. While attendance is open for Kirtan, donations to Sharanam are welcomed (suggested $15-$20, voluntary, all are welcome)

Saturday, April 5  Shri Ram Navmi | 11 AM (Free Event – All Are Welcome!)

Ram Navmi celebrates the birth of Bhagwan Ram, the embodiment of dharma, love, and righteousness.

We will gather in devotion to sing: Nama Ramayana | Ram Raksha Stotra | Hanuman Chalisa | Chanting Ram’s Name for One Hour | Followed by prasad lunch together.

Due to popular request, NKB Bhakti Dham will remain open until 5 PM for those who wish to offer prayers, meditate, sing bhajans, or chant—allowing more time to be with Maharajji, Hanuman, and Ram. This additional time is to support those for whom the morning hours don’t work.

We are excited to come together to sing Hanuman Chalisa

In the heart of devotion, nestled within the verses of the Hanuman Chalisa, lies a profound spiritual journey awaiting each one of us. This sacred text, composed by Tulsidas, has been a source of strength, courage, and wisdom for millions, offering solace and inspiration through the ages.

Hanuman Chalisa is more than an exploration of a beloved spiritual hymn; it is a call to awaken the Hanuman within each of us. Let this journey enrich your soul, expand your heart, and elevate your spirit. May the devotion and love that flow through the verses of the Hanuman Chalisa fill your life with divine grace and joy. Feel your Bhakti—it's within you, waiting to be felt, explored, and celebrated.

As you delve into Hanuman Chalisa you embark on a transformative journey. Through the lens of personal reflection, scholarly insight, and practical wisdom, Hanuman Chalisa illuminates the path to self-discovery and spiritual awakening. Each verse of the Hanuman Chalisa is a step closer to understanding the vastness of our own spirit, encouraging us to embody the qualities of courage, devotion, and selflessness that Hanuman exemplifies.

Please visit the resources section of our website that includes NKB Bhakti Dham’s Hanuman Chalisa booklet - brief history about Hanuman Chalisa, significance, impact, the confluence of Hanuman Chalisa & Neem Karoli Baba, translation & more.

Sundarkand

The Sundarkand is a powerful chapter from the Ramayana, describing Hanumanji’s courageous journey to find Sita Mata. It is a story of devotion, faith, and selfless service that inspires us to overcome challenges with love and grace.
(More about Sundarkand Paath: Video, Article)

Neem Karoli Baba, always encouraged devotees to chant the Sundarkand, saying it brings blessings, strength, and peace. Through this sacred recitation, we connect with Hanumanji’s divine energy and open our hearts to the grace of the guru.

Afterwards, we will provide a lunch as prasad. That being said—if you feel inspired/called to bring food or prasad offerings to Maharaj-ji —you are warmly welcome to do so however not mandatory. Such offerings are deeply personal and always between you and Maharaj-ji.
