By focusing on contemporary popular religious traditions, the book represents a substantial contribution to the study of modern religious practices in Banaras, holy city of India. This book offers in-depth, ethnographic views of many contemporary popular religious practices that have, for the most part, received little attention by scholars. Topics covered include the Ramlila celebrations, devotion to Hanuman, and goddess worship, and the way that Banarsi Boli, the local dialect of Banaras, supports its users in their identification with the sacred city.

Reflecting on one of Hinduism's most popular prayer for positive energy Acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies the Hanuman Chalisa for the contemporary reader. His unique approach makes the ancient hymn accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations. Every time we experience negativity in the world and within ourselves, every time we encounter jealousy, rage and frustration, manifesting as violation and violence, we hear, or read, the Hanuman Chalisa. Composed over four hundred years ago by Tulsidas, its simple words in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi and its simple metre, musically and very potently evoke the mythology, history and mystery of Hanuman, the much-loved Hindu deity, through whom Vedic wisdom reached the masses. As verse follows verse, our frightened, crumpled mind begins to expand with knowledge and insight and our faith in humanity, both within and without, is restored.

Hanuman has and always will have a unique position in the heart of story lovers and everyone else. When we speak of Hanuman, it unveils or more precisely floods the heart with happiness, excitement, and a feeling of taking part in a great adventure.Hanuman is not only meant for entertaining the story lovers, but he is a personification of every quality one is looking for being successful in life. He is a role model for being a great communicator, as he did when he went as messenger on behalf of Sugriva, and later giving message to mother Sita and warning Ravana. Hanuman is not only a great communicator, he is also an executor of orders from the superiors, not only the textual, but situational, that is the style of one who is 1st class, for example when he was sent by Rama to give a message to Sita, certainly Hanuman did that, but he also wanted to estimate the power of the army of Ravana, and wanted to give Ravana some glimpse of Rama’s power by burning the great golden city. In this compilation we can learn so many qualities of Hanuman in a very entertaining way. This book addresses the need of all classes of people; it is an absorbing entertainment for a child, a book to educate children for parents, a life-style management for the youth, a motivational guide for those in the competitive world, a meditation for those who worship Hanuman and a treasure for those who love him. In conclusion, this is a book which will guarantee wholesome satisfaction to every member of the family. Delve into the stories of Hanuman and learn from your favorite hero!

T he material in this volume is culled from over two thousand stories about Maharajji gathered during five years from more than one hundred devotees. To these devotees who shared their treasured memo ries, I wish to express my deep love and appreciation. Some of them felt that no book could or should be written about a being with qualities as vast, formless, and subtle as Maharajji’s, and yet they contributed their stories nevertheless. I honor them for this kindness and I hope that in my zeal to share experiences of Maharajji with others who were not fortu nate enough to have met him, I have not misused their trust. Some devotees tell me that stories told by other devotees are not fac tually accurate. I have no way of ascertaining the authenticity of any single story. All I can report is that those o f us who gathered the stories were impressed by the credibility of those of us who told the stories.
