Hanuman's Leap of Faith (Audio Download)
Hanuman's Leap of Faith is a 7-hour audio series that will take us on a deep dive, exploring Hanuman's great exploits from the epic Ramayana.
At the core of the production are 40 excerpts or passages distilled from Michael Sternfeld's original audio production of the unabridged Valmiki Ramayana, covering virtually everything Hanuman says, does and thinks in the great epic. Interwoven with these passages are introductory sections, commentary, story context, music and prayers from Krishna Das and Michael Sternfeld, creating a rich tapestry of experience and inspiration for all things Hanuman.[split]
This collaboration evolved out of conversations between Michael Sternfeld and Krishna Das, following Krishna Das' participation in the online Ramayana course that Michael taught for the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram in Winter 2021. The production grew organically from a kirtan-style “call and response” process, in which Michael would send a section to Krishna Das and he would respond with his own. The result is an elaborately-woven production featuring many facets of the gem known as Hanuman–a veritable Hanumayana.
