I had an incredible experience singing the Hanuman Chalisa 108x (on three consecutive days) with a group of people during a retreat in Mallorca. After the previous retreat and this one, it feels like the music flows through me effortlessly, as if it has a life of its own. It's as if someone else is singing, not me.
The funny thing is that the Harmonium, which I initially acquired to assist me in learning more classical Indian singing, has now become an integral part of my life. I now sing daily and have discovered a new passion in offering this in group sessions and classes.
Despite the windy conditions, I have uploaded a full version of the Hanuman Chalisa on my YouTube channel for those interested.
I am amazed that something designed as small assistance has become a deeper connection with myself and the divine.
Thanks to my friend and colleague Richard Fuhrmann for assisting me with the filming and setting and for all the unnamed support.
