Chinmaya Mission Creates a Landmark Spiritual Moment as Over 5,000 plus Unite for Delhi’s Largest Hanuman Chalisa Chanting at Yashobhoomi
New Delhi, Jan 12: Chinmaya Mission marked a historic spiritual milestone for the Capital with Dilli Gao Jai Hanuman, a large-scale Hanuman Chalisa power chanting that brought together over 5,000 plus participants at Yashobhoomi, India’s largest convention centre.
Conceived as Delhi’s collective offering to the Chinmaya Amrit Mahotsav 2026, commemorating 75 years of the Chinmaya Movement, it was not merely a large gathering but a living expression of bhakti, seva and collective sadhana where thousands of hearts and voices aligned in one rhythmic invocation of Lord Hanuman’s grace and strength.
Held at the Brahmakamal Hall, the event transformed the vast architectural space into an immersive field of chanting and vibration. As thousands gathered in unison, the hall resonated with the rhythmic cadence of the Hanuman Chalisa, allowing the sound to rise, expand and settle into a palpable stillness. Participants from all across described the experience as deeply energising, grounding and uplifting.
The collective chanting was a means of reinforcing Chinmaya Mission’s timeless message that inner transformation begins when seekers come together in shared spiritual practice.
At the heart of the gathering was the Hanuman Chalisa, chanted 14 times through 11 distinct musical tunes, carefully designed to move from invocation to intensity and finally into deep absorption. The chanting was led by Br. Soham Chaitanya, with music by Shriyansh Mani and ensemble, supported by chanting groups from Chinmaya Mission. Complementing the chanting was Kala Aradhana, an artistic offering by students of Chinmaya Vidyalaya New Delhi, where devotion found expression through visual art and creative form, adding another layer to the spiritual experience.
The collective chanting reinforced the Mission’s belief that collective chanting is most powerful when experienced fully and physically, through presence and participation.
The gathering was graced by Pujya Swami Swaroopananda, Global Head of Chinmaya Mission, along with other revered spiritual luminaries.
“The Hanuman Chalisa is a sacred sadhana that awakens within us the spirit of devotion, courage and selfless service. As Chinmaya Mission completes 75 years of service to humanity, this collective chanting stands as a spiritual yajna, a divine offering of gratitude for Pujya Gurudev – Swami Chinmayananda’s life and vision. In this gathering, we did not merely recite verses, we offered our hearts at the feet of Lord Hanuman allowing the sound to lift and transform us from within.” said Pujya Swami Swaroopananda, Global Head, Chinmaya Mission.
For centuries, the Hanuman Chalisa has been a spiritual instrument for strengthening the mind, invoking courage and unwavering devotion.The collective chanting at Dilli Gao Jai Hanuman amplified this effect through sound vibrations and shared intent.
For the first time in Delhi, Chinmaya Mission also hosted a Hanuman Mela, creating a welcoming space for families to linger and engage. The mela featured curated spiritual literature, cultural installations, children’s engagement zones, festive offerings, and the Iccha Puran Hanuman Sankalpa Vedi, where devotees placed their sankalpas and intentions for 2026.
