Nick Dearman shared the video on Instagram, announcing that he would attempt the recitation at 2X speed. He then moved through the verses at a remarkably fast and steady pace.

Despite the speed, Nick appeared focused throughout the video and maintained his rhythm from beginning to end without visibly losing his flow.
His performance quickly caught the attention of viewers, many of whom expressed surprise at how confidently he recited the verses.
Social Media Reacts
The video attracted a mix of appreciation, humour and respectful comments. Some users praised Nick’s pronunciation and effort, while others simply expressed their admiration for his interest in the devotional hymn.
One commenter even said that Nick recited the Hanuman Chalisa better than they did, while another responded with “Jai Hanuman.”
A Viral Moment With a Cultural Twist
The video has gained attention not only because of its speed but also because of Nick’s interest in an important Hindu devotional tradition.
The unusual performance has turned an ordinary social-media post into a widely discussed viral moment, showing how cultural content can quickly cross borders and attract audiences worldwide.
