Hanuman Chalisa

Written by Tulsidas "Hanuman Chalisa" is the most popular of prayers of Bajrangbali. The forty verses of Hanuman Chalisa are known as Chaupai and are a biographical narration of Hanuman ji's life. The Hanuman Chalisa is in fact essence of the Sundara Kanda of Ramayana. Many people recite the Hanuman Chalisa in times of trouble or when feeling scared to ward off any evil spirit. The doha at the beginning of Hanuman Chalisa is a direct prayer to the Lord admitting to him that being fully aware of my deficient intelligence, I concentrate fully on you my lord humbly asking you to grant me strength, intelligence, true knowledge to relieve me of all faults causing pain. In the Hanuman Chalisa Lord Hanuman is praised for his strength and being a repository of knowledge. He is hailed as the protector of saints and sages and destructor of demons; the true devotee of Lord Rama and an epitome of Sacrifice and loyalty. Tulsidas has said that who so ever would recite the Hanuman Chalisa one hundred times will be instantly gratified and be rid of all pains and suffering.
