From the pre-dawn hush
to the evening lamp
Twelve weeks of sacred practice: Sri Suktam for abundance, Hanuman Chalisa for courage, Sri Vishnu Sahasranama for healing.
October 20, 2026 → January 14, 2027 · live daily, open to all
Three phases, one arc of the day
Each practice keeps the hour it has always kept: abundance before sunrise, courage and healing after sunset. Times below in Central, Eastern, and Indian Standard Time.
I
Sri Sukta Sadhana
Wealth Manifestation · Sri Suktam
Oct 20 – Nov 8 · daily, 6:30–7:00 AM CT
7:30–8:00 AM ET
5:00–5:30 PM IST (through Oct 31) · 6:00–6:30 PM IST (from Nov 1)
Why this hour
Brahma Muhurta, the last stretch of dark before sunrise, is held as the mind’s clearest window, and mantra spoken here is said to travel unobstructed. Sri Suktam, the Vedic hymn to Goddess Lakshmi, invokes her eight forms of abundance; chanted at this hour, it clears the ground before the day’s first distraction arrives.
Blessings invoked
- Abundance in wealth and opportunity
- Removal of obstacles to prosperity
- Clarity of purpose for the day ahead
- Lakshmi's grace over home and work
II
Hanuman Vratam
Hanuman Chalisa & Hanuman Aarti
Nov 9 – Dec 22 · daily, 8:00–9:00 PM CT
9:00–10:00 PM ET
7:30–8:30 AM IST (following morning)
Why this hour
Dusk is Hanuman’s traditional watch, the hour he is said to stand guard as day changes hands. Forty-four unbroken evenings of the Chalisa, written by Tulsidas as a mirror of Hanuman’s own virtues, are held to build those same qualities in whoever repeats them.
Blessings invoked
- Courage and inner strength
- Protection from obstacles and fear
- Steadiness and discipline
- Leadership rooted in humility and service
III
Sri Vishnu Sahasranama
The Thousand Names of Vishnu
Dec 23 – Jan 14 · daily, 8:00–9:00 PM CT
9:00–10:00 PM ET
7:30–8:30 AM IST (following morning)
Why this hour
The thousand names, drawn from the Mahabharata, are traditionally chanted at day’s end to settle what the day has stirred up. Bhishma is said to have offered them from his deathbed as the one teaching that heals every kind of discord, a fitting close to a season that began with abundance and courage.
Blessings invoked
- Harmony restored in relationships
- Release of resentment and old wounds
- Peace of mind at the close of day
- Protection over the household
Every lamp needs someone to keep the oil
No priests run this series; volunteers do. The same small group shows up before dawn and again at dusk, day after day, to lead the chant and hold the stream together for everyone joining from home. Their time is freely given; what it costs is the room, the stream, and the printed material that reaches you. If you’re able, your contribution covers that and keeps the lamp lit for the next batch of volunteers. Any amount is received as seva, not a fee.

Three Saturdays to go deeper
A two-hour live session for each phase, covering the philosophy behind the chant and how to carry it into daily life.
Wealth Manifestation through Sri Suktam
Saturday, October 31
12:00–2:00 PM CT · 1:00–3:00 PM ET · 10:30 PM–12:30 AM IST (into Nov 1)
A verse-by-verse walk through the Suktam’s imagery of abundance, and how to turn its symbolism into a daily practice for attracting wealth without losing sight of its source.
Self-Leadership through Hanuman Chalisa
Saturday, November 21
12:00–2:00 PM CT · 1:00–3:00 PM ET · 11:30 PM–1:30 AM IST (into Nov 22)
Hanuman as a working model of leadership: his courage, discretion, and total absence of ego, and a session on building those traits, verse by verse, into how you lead your own life.
Heal & Transform Relationships through Vishnu Sahasranama
Saturday, December 19
12:00–2:00 PM CT · 1:00–3:00 PM ET · 11:30 PM–1:30 AM IST (into Dec 20)
Working with specific names from the thousand to address rupture, distance, and resentment in the relationships that matter most, with practical guidance for chanting on someone else’s behalf.
108 carries its own weight in this tradition: the beads on a mala, the names counted sacred to the Devi, the Upanishads gathered into that number. It felt right to let the price carry it too.
