Hanuman Chalisa Path

हनुमान चालीसा पाठ

The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse Awadhi devotional poem composed by Goswami Tulsidas (c. 1532-1623 CE), arguably the most-recited Hindu devotional text in the world today. The composition consists of 2 introductory dohas, 40 chaupais (the chalisa proper), and 1 concluding doha, totalling 43 verses. Each chaupai praises an aspect of Hanuman ji — his strength (verses 7, 25), wisdom (3, 22), devotion to Rama (8, 9), service to Sita (16), valour at Lanka (17-19), and his unique role as kaliyug ke sankat-mochan — the remover of distress in the present age. The Chalisa is famously cited in verse 36: "Sankat te Hanuman chhudave, mana, krama, vachan dhyana jo lave" — "Hanuman delivers from all distress one who remembers him in thought, deed, and word". A standard 11-paath anushthan takes 45 minutes and is recommended on Tuesdays, Saturdays, Hanuman Jayanti, during Sade Sati or Shani Dhaiya, before exams, court hearings, or any significant undertaking. The booking includes 11 paaths with proper laya, Bajrang Baan, Hanuman aarti, prasad of bundi laddoo, and certified HD video.
