Before moving forward some of the questions might crop in your mind regarding The Hanuman Chalisa.

Let’s figure it out.

Who is Hanuman ?

Hanuman endows us with the Atma-Shakti or self-power to realize our highest potential and accomplish what is magical. Worshiped by many who wish to gain courage and strength in their lives, Almighty Hanuman is probably one of the most celebrated and revered figures in Hindu Mythology.

(Pavan Putra) Hanuman was an incarnation of Lord Shiva and is considered to be an exemplification of strength, devotion, and perseverance.

Hanuman was greatly devoted to Shri Rama.

Our highest Prana is to reach out and merge into the immortal Prana, which is to dedicate ourselves as Hanuman to Rama.

Hanuman grants all yoga siddhis extending to the highest self-realization.

Hanuman is the conduit of the power of Rama as the universal self.

Rama represents the self who guides all nature - through which the wind blows, out of which the Sun and Moon move, which holds the Earth in place through gravity.

The yogi works through that cosmic Vayu and universal Prana, in attunement and harmony with the whole of life.

The true Bhakta or devotee surrenders to the Divine will which is the motivating force of Vayu. Vayu’s vibration is Om or Pranava, the primal sound behind all creation.

The Upanishads teach us that Vayu is the directly perceivable form of Brahman, the Cosmic Reality.

To become Hanuman we must awaken to our inner nature as a portion of cosmic consciousness. Each one of us has the power of the entire universe within us.

What is Hanuman Chalisa?

• Hanuman Chalisa is the mantra to invoke Hanuman the god of incredible positive power and wisdom.

• It has 40 poetic verses and 3 couplets.

• It is a poem written by Goswami Tulsidas in the Awadhi language.

• The word Chalisa is derived from Challis in Hindi, which means 40, as the Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses.

• Hanuman Chalisa Starts with-

Sri Guru Charan Saroj Raj Nij Man Mukur Sudhari |

Baranau Raghuvar Bimal Jasu Jo Dayaku Phal Chari ||

• And End with

Pavan Tanay Sankat Harana, Mangal Moorati Roop |

Ram Lakhan Sita Sahit, Hridaya Basahu Sur Bhoop ||

Hanuman Chalisa is the most popular mantra recited by millions of Hindus across The Globe.

By reciting Hanuman Chalisa you worship God Hanuman and anyone who worships Hanuman is granted fortitude (immense courage when in trouble or pain) and strength. It is a kind of spiritual healing prayer as it nullifies the negative energies around you.

It is best suited for people suffering from a psychic disorder like anxiety, depression, and mental health issues.

Reading Hanuman Chalisa help you to create the spiritual healing energy in you.

There is no specific time set to recite Hanuman Chalisa though, it is best recommended to recite it early in the morning just after having a bath so that you start your day on a positive note.

If time doesn't permit you can also recite Chalisa just before going to bed or simply go-ahead with the schedule that suits you the best.

While, during any time of day if you feel low, depressed, or scared; simply close your eyes, try to concentrate, and recite Hanuman Chalisa and that should help you for sure.

Anyone can recite Hanuman Chalisa regardless of his eating habits.

Your thoughts, deeds, and intend are the ones that matter the most.

Reciting Hanuman Chalisa under the influence of alcohol or drugs is something that is not recommended by any means.

So I have tried to teach word by word and phrase by phrase meaning of each Doha and Chaupai.

Also, the lessons have a lot of downloadable resources with extra notes which you can download and read.

So Friends what are you waiting for...

I really hope you will enjoy chanting this amazing devotional prayer with me because it has been a clear proven fact that devotees who chant the Hanuman Chalisa ensure that God Hanuman keeps them safe and secure through life’s ups and downs.
