The Power of Devotion Book Club

January 13, 2026 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Step into the strength of devotion and the clarity of inner wisdom with our 4-week book club exploring Hanuman Chalisa with Swami Tejomayananda’s commentary. This timeless text – rich with symbolism, devotion, and insight – shows us how Hanuman ji’s qualities of courage, humility, and unwavering faith can transform the way we move through the world.

Together, we’ll journey verse by verse into the heart of the Chalisa, uncovering the deeper meaning behind Hanuman ji’s divine characteristics and the spiritual significance of his actions. Each week, we’ll explore a meaningful theme from the commentary, reflect on how Hanuman ji’s virtues apply to our modern lives, and support each other in cultivating strength, devotion, and inner resilience – just as Hanuman ji embodies.

You can purchase the book at Amazon (https://a.co/d/2d0x4Rg).

There is a recommended donation of $10 per session – all proceeds go to the temple.
