The Hanuman Chalisa is a revered devotional hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman, composed by the saint-poet Tulsidas in the 16th century. Written in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi, the Chalisa consists of 40 verses (hence the name "Chalisa," meaning forty), each praising Hanuman’s strength, devotion, and unwavering service to Lord Rama. Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa with meaning helps devotees not only connect spiritually but also understand the deeper messages of courage, humility, and faith embedded in the verses. It is believed to offer protection, remove obstacles, and bring inner peace to those who chant it with sincerity.
