The Himalayas meet the Rocky Mountains…
Jai Hanuman Kirtan’s music is a hybrid of east & west influences. Lyrics are traditional bhakti yoga mantras sung in a Call & Response format. Music is influenced by bluegrass, folk rock & the blues & intended to act as a kind of syrup by which the mantra-medicine may "go down" (become internalized). :)
These songs were performed & recorded by Hanuman Das in live takes. He played acoustic guitar or harmonium while singing & playing foot percussion, then added bass & lead guitars in subsequent takes.
His late beloved wife, Hillary Willhite (1948-2014, Rest In Peace Blessed Immortal Soul) sang harmony & response vocals. A responsive chorus is a traditional aspect of Call & Response Kirtan.
His lovely wife, Julia Ivanovna Willhite, created the CD covers, art & graphics. She lovingly & generously gave of her time, energy & support.
Jai Hanuman Kirtan’s music is all natural, using only real instrumentation & undoctored vocal performances. No computerized instruments, e.g., drum machines, synthesizers, sequencers or sampling were used.
Recorded, mixed & mastered by Hanuman Das in a small-budget home studio.
lyrics
Shree Guru charana saroja raja nija manu mukuru sudhari
Baranaun Raghubara bimala jasu jo daayaku phala chaari
Buddhi heena tanu jaanike sumiraun pawana kumaara
Bala budhi vidyaa dehu mohin harahu kalesa bikaara
Jaya Hanumaan gyaana guna saagara,
Jaya Kapeesha tihun loka ujaagara
Raama doota atulita bala dhaamaa,
Anjani putra Pawanasuta naamaa
Mahaabeera bikrama bajarangee,
Kumati niwaara sumati ke sangee
Kanchana barana biraaja subesaa,
Kaanana kundala kunchita kesaa
Haata bajra aura dwajaa biraajai,
Kaandhe moonja janeu saajai
Shankara suwana Kesaree nandana,
Teja prataapa mahaa jaga bandana
Bidyaawaana gunee ati chaatura,
Raama kaaja karibe ko aatura
Prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiyaa,
Raama Lakhana Seetaa mana basiyaa
Sookshma roopa dhari Siyahin dikhaawaa,
Bikata roopa dhari Lankaa jaraawaa
Bheema roopa dhari asura sanghaare,
Raamachandra ke kaaja sanvaare
Laaya sajeevana Lakhana jiyaaye,
Shree Raghubeera harashi ura laaye
Raghupati keenhee bahuta baraaee,
tuma mama priya Bharatahi sama bhaaee
Sahasa badana tumharo jasa gaawain,
asa kahi Shreepati kanta lagaawain
Sanakaadika Brahmaadi muneesaa,
Naarada Saarada sahita Aheesaa
Yama Kubera digapaala jahaante,
kabi kobida kahi sake kahaante
Tuma upakaara Sugreevahin keenhaa,
Raama milaaya raaja pada deenhaa
Tumharo mantra Bibheeshana maanaa,
Lankeshwara bhaye saba jaga jaanaa
Yuga sahasra yojana para bhaanu,
leelyo taahi madhura phala jaanu
Prabhu mudrikaa meli mukha maaheen,
jaladhi laanghi gaye acharaja naaheen
Durgama kaaja jagata ke jete,
sugama anugraha tumhare tete
Raama duaare tuma rakhawaare,
hota na aagyaa binu paisaare
Saba sukha lahai tumhaaree sharanaa,
tuma rakshaka kaahu ko dara naa
Aapana teja samhaaro aapai,
teenon loka haanka ten kaanpai
Bhoota pisaacha nikata nahin aawai,
Mahaabeera jaba naama sunaawai
Naasai roga hare saba peeraa,
japata nirantara Hanumata beeraa
Sankata ten Hanumaana churaawai,
mana krama bachana dhyaana jo laawai
Saba para Raama tapaswee raajaa,
tina ke kaaja sakala tuma saajaa
Aura manorata jo koee laawai,
soee amita jeewana phala paawai
Chaaron juga parataapa tumhaaraa,
hai parasidha jagata ujiyaaraa
Saadhu santa ke tuma rakhawaare,
asura nikandana Raama dulaare
Ashta siddhi nau nidhi ke daataa,
asa bara deena Jaanakee Maataa
Raama rasaayana tumhare paasaa,
sadaa raho Raghupati ke daasaa
Tumhare bhajana Raama ko paawai,
janama janama ke dukha bisaraawai
Anta kaala Raghubara pura jaaee,
jahaan janama Hari bhakta kahaaee
Aura devataa chitta na dharaee,
Hanumata se-ee sarva sukha karaee
Sankata katai mite saba peeraa,
jo sumire Hanumata bala beeraa
Jai jai jai Hanumaana Gosaaee,
kripaa karahu gurudeva kee naaee
Jo sata baara paata kara koee,
chootahi bandi mahaa sukha hoee
Jo yaha parai Hanumaana chaaleesaa,
hoya siddhi saakhee Gaureesaa
Tulasee Daasa sadaa Hari cheraa,
keejai naata hridaya mahaan deraa
Pawanatanaya sankata harana mangala moorati roopa
Raama Lakhana Seetaa sahita hridaya basahu sura bhoopa
