Reciting the Entire Ramayana

IMG_0114Every year at Maharaji's ashram in Kanchi the entire Ramayana is recited before many religious holidays. Reciting the entire Ramayana before you begin something new or in times of difficulties is a humble offering to Hanuman and request for blessings.The leader of the recitation will choose the theme of the offering which is called the Samput. The Samput is a refrain repeated after every doha.  The Samput can be a line from the Ramayana or a line from Tulsidas and will depend on the purpose of giving thanks.Reciting the entire Ramayana may be done at home or at a local Hanuman temple. Here is a link to download the Ramayana (it's 1100 pages). Simply download the PDF called Code 1318 RamCharitaManas (the Ramayana of Goswami Tulasidas).
