Introduction

The Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional hymn composed by Goswami Tulsidas in the Awadhi language, dedicated to Lord Hanuman. It is one of the most widely recited prayers in Hinduism. It consists of two opening dohas, forty chaupais, and one closing doha.

Significance

Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa is believed to remove fear, suffering, and obstacles. It is especially recited on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Devotees believe that regular recitation invokes the blessings and grace of Lord Hanuman.

How to Recite

The Hanuman Chalisa should be recited after bathing, seated on a clean mat. Begin by meditating on Lord Hanuman, then start the recitation from the opening dohas followed by all forty chaupais and the closing doha.
