"Hanuman 2"

Album: Shiva Machine

"The story of Hanuman - lord of the monkeys, son of the wind - is told in many cultures, including China, Thailand, Indonesia, and India. It's the story of how our animal nature can be sublimated through service and devotion. Some would say that Hanuman represents the mind which, when scattered and unaware of its Divine nature, jumps all around like a monkey. But once it fixes itself on its Beloved, it becomes the vehicle to merge with God.

"The song 'Hanuman 2' features 8 verses from the beautiful Hanuman Chalisa - an ancient hymn which invokes the energy of Hanuman. There are lots of versions of the Chalisa, but I wanted to create something fun and funky, with that jumping monkey energy! This song also came into being from the huge response I had to the song 'Hanuman' (from Reveal)." [Girish]
