Jai Hanuman
In this short and joyful clip, Brooke Brodack greets the morning sunshine with infectious enthusiasm, sharing a story from her friend Rohit in India. She recalls how he would ask, "What are you going to have for breakfast this morning? Sunshine?" -- a reference to the Hindu deity Hanuman, who as a child tried to eat the sun because he mistook it for a giant golden fruit.
Brooke embraces that same playful, sun-worshipping energy, declaring herself a kindred spirit to Hanuman on this radiant morning. The brief video captures a beautiful intersection of her love for Indian spirituality, her connection to nature, and her ability to find deep meaning in the simplest moments of daily life.
