About the Hanuman Chalisa

The Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional hymn consisting of 40 verses (chalisa means "forty") written by the poet-saint Tulsidas in the 16th century. It praises Lord Hanuman, the devoted servant of Lord Rama and embodiment of strength, courage, and devotion.

Unlike mantras that are repeated word-for-word, the Chalisa is a complete poem that tells Hanuman's story and asks for his blessings. Many Hindus recite it daily as part of their morning or evening prayers.

Why People Recite This

Hanuman Chalisa is known for bringing:

• Courage and strength during difficult times
• Protection from negative energies and obstacles
• Mental peace and removal of fear
• Success in endeavors and projects
• Physical health and vitality
• Devotional feelings and spiritual growth

People often turn to this when they're facing challenges, need courage, or want to feel protected.

How Many Times to Recite

Common practices include:

• Once daily - The standard practice for regular devotion
• Twice daily - Morning and evening for deeper practice
• 108 times - One complete mala (takes several hours, usually done on special occasions)
• 11 times - On Tuesdays or Saturdays (days associated with Hanuman)
• 7 times - For specific wishes or during festivals

Each recitation takes about 5-10 minutes depending on your pace. Going slow with understanding is more valuable than rushing through it.
