After cleansing the mirror of my
mind with the pollen dust of holy
Guru's Lotus feet. I profess the
pure, untainted glory of Shri
Raghuvar which bestows the four-
fold fruits of life. (Dharma, Artha,
Kama and Moksha).
Fully aware of the inadequacy of
my intelligence, I meditate on
Pavan Kumar and humbly ask Him
for strength, intelligence and true
knowledge and to relieve me of all
the blemishes that cause pain.

You are the repository of learning,
virtuous and fully accomplished,
always keen to carry out the
behests of Shri Ram. You are an
ardent listener, always so keen to
Ram's Life Stories. Your heart is
filled with what Shri Ram stood
for. You therefore always dwell in
the hearts of Shri Ram, Lakshman
and Sita.
You appeared before Sita in a
diminutive form and spoke to Her
in humility. You assumed an
awesome form and struck terror by
setting Lanka on fire. With over-
whelming might You destroyed the
Asuras (demons) and performed all
tasks assigned to You by Shri Ram
with great skill.
You brought Sanjivan (A herb that
revives life) and restored
Lakshman back to life, Shri
Raghuvir (Shri Ram) gleefully
embraced You with his heart full
of joy. Shri Raghupati (Shri Ram)
lustily extolled Your excellence
my own brother Bharat."
Thousands of living beings will
chant hymns of Your glories;
including prophets like Sanka, and
Sage like Lord Brahma, the great
hermit Narad himself, Goddess
Saraswati and Ahisha (one of
immeasurable dimensions). Saying
thus, Shri Ram warmly hugged
him (Shri Hanuman).
Even Yamraj (God of Death)
Kuber (God of Wealth) and the
Digpals (deputies guarding the
four corners of the Universe) have
been vying with one another in
offering homage to Your glories.
How then, can a mere poet give
adequate expression of Your super
excellence! You rendered a great
service to Sugriv. You united him
with Shri Ram and He installed
him on the Royal Throne.
By heeding Your advice,
Vibhishan became Lord of Lanka.
This is known all over the
Universe. On Your own You
dashed upon the Sun, which is at a
fabulous distance of thousands of
miles, thinking it to be a sweet
luscious fruit.

All diseases, pain and suffering

Hanuman's holy name. Those who
remember Shri Hanuman in

alone secure the imperishable

acclaimed all over the Cosmos.
You are the savior and the
guardian angel of Saints and Sages
and destroy all Demons. You are
the angelic darling of Shri Ram.

You can grant to any one, any
yogic power of Eight Siddhis
(power to become light and heavy
at will) and Nine Nidhis (riches,
comfort, power, prestige, fame,
sweet relationship etc.) This boon
has been conferred upon You by
Mother Janaki. You possess the
power of devotion to Shri Ram. In
all rebirths You will always remain
Shri Raghupati's most dedicated
disciple.
Through hymns sung in devotion
to You, one can find Shri Ram and
become free from sufferings of
several births. If at the time of
death one enters the Divine Abode
of Shri Ram, thereafter in all future
births he is born as the Lord's
devotee.
One need not entertain any other
deity for Propitiation, as devotion
of Shri Hanuman alone can give all
happiness. One is freed from all
the sufferings and ill fated
contingencies of rebirths in the
world. One who adores and
remembers Shri Hanuman.
Hail, Hail, Hail, Shri Hanuman,
Lord of senses. Let Your victory
over the evil be firm and final.
supreme guru (teacher). One who
recites Chalisa one hundred times,
becomes free from the bondage of
life and death and enjoys the
highest bliss at last.
All those who recite Hanuman
Chalisa (The forty Chaupais)
regularly are sure to be benedicted.
Such is the evidence of no less a
witness as Bhagwan Sankar.
Tulsidas as a bonded slave of the
Divine Master, stays perpetually at
his feet, he prays "Oh Lord! You
enshrine within my heart & soul."
Oh! Son of the Wind God,
Destroyer of all miseries, You are
a symbol of Auspiciousness. Along
with Shri Ram, Lakshman and
Sita, reside in my heart. Oh! King
of Gods!
