Swami Stithprajnananda receives Spiritual Scientist Award by Andhra University

“When we approach the Hanuman Chalisa merely as a sacred chant, we miss its most beautiful aspect – the experience of divine joy. Hidden within Hanuman’s devotion is what I call ‘Holy Laughter’ – the essence of true spiritual practice. This is not ordinary laughter, but one that dissolves fear, awakens confidence, and reminds us that in our spiritual journey, joy is as crucial as solemnity. Just as Hanuman carried the mountain with a smile, our devotion too can be both powerful and light-hearted.”
