The chanting translation on VRI website doesn't seem to be the literal translation of the morning chants by SN Goenka.

They seem to start off with some other sutta chanting before getting to the sutta itself. I am not sure.
Does anyone have the entire translation of his morning chants?
Thanks!

Dear Wizi,
It might be worth investigating this book:

Re: Goenka Chanting translation
Hi - there's also an mp4 (video) file available from this site, currently free of charge or on a donation basis. The description:
"In this download you hear S. N. Goenka chant the Pali suttas (discourses) and Hindi dohas (poems)from the ten-day course of Vipassana meditation while the original text and the English translation simultaneously display on the screen"
Here's the link, but I think you need the old student password to access that part of the site:

best wishes,

Re: Goenka Chanting translation
Thank you both for the links! Now I understand why his chanting doesn't sound anything like the written suttas at first. Does he start off with Hindi dohas and then go on to the Pali suttas?
