PhD in Sanskrit Literature, 40+ years studying Tulsidas works
• Tulsidas composed the Chalisa in Awadhi, not pure Sanskrit, making it accessible to common people
• The 40-verse structure mirrors the 40-day spiritual practices mentioned in various Hindu texts
• Each verse contains specific sound vibrations (mantric syllables) that create psychological effects
• The Chalisa follows a precise meter (Chaupai) that aids memorization and creates rhythmic breathing
Historical Context
Written during Mughal rule (1574 CE), the Chalisa served as both spiritual practice and cultural preservation tool for Hindu communities
About Hanuman Chalisa
Chanting Hanuman Chalisa removes fear, grants physical and mental strength, protects from negative energies, and helps overcome obstacles. It is particularly powerful for those facing difficulties, seeking courage, or wanting protection during travels.
The Hanuman Chalisa was composed by the great saint Tulsidas in the 16th century. Written in Awadhi language, it consists of 40 verses (chalisa means forty) that praise Lord Hanuman's virtues, strength, and devotion to Lord Rama. Tulsidas wrote this masterpiece while imprisoned by Emperor Akbar, and it is said that Hanuman himself appeared to free the saint.
