This album is the latest to join the devotional genre. If after having listened to Pandi Jasraj chant `OM` in fifty different sharps and flats, the Gayatri mantra lyrically expounded and the Mrityunjaya mantra soulfully rendered, you thought you were on the brink of nirvana, hold it!

Times Music isn`t done with you yet. You still haven`t heard their newest release - Hanuman. The album begins with the signature prayer and a rather long drawn speech by Harish Bhimani drooling on the virtues of Hanuman and his devotion.

Then follows the Hanuman Gayatri - where the Sanskrit is at slight variance - and a marathon chant of the Hanuman Mantra (108 times). Thankfully, Side B is livelier, with some musical rendition of the shlokas. The Raksha stotram and the Hanumanotstram by Sridharswami rendered in raag Darbari deserve special mention. The album concludes with a brisk aarti in raag Malkauns. While the entire concept is good, the speech and the sonorous chanting lower the overall appreciative value.
