Hanuman Chalisa
Every Third Saturday of the Month
Hanuman Chalisa is a very powerful and divine poetry of forty verses on Hanuman, composed by Sant Sri Tulasidas in the sixteenth century in Awadhi language. His love, faith and total surrender to Sri Hanuman reflects in every verse. Sant Sri Tulasidas has envisioned and glorified Hanuman with over flowing reverence and devotion in this Hanuman Chalisa. It has been the most acclaimed chanting hymns among the devoteees. Each verse is called a chaupai (means 4 legs) and each chaupai of the Chalisa has two lines each which always rhyme.
Shri Hanuman is understood as great jnani, yogi and a brahmachari (bachelor). He has been blessed as chiranjivi, one who lives eternally. The blessings of Siva, Vishnu, Brahma, Surya, Indra, and Vayu made Shri Hanuman invincible. He is the great lover of music and also mastered the Sanskrit language. Being the Yogacharya, Shri Hanuman is considered as an embodiment of the four yogas. His strength, valour, prowess, will power, memory, balanced emotions, sharp intellect, fearlessness, and noble actions were perfectly refined and grounded in.
Hanuman Chalisa has been found to be highly effective in controlling the evil effects of Saturn transit or Saturn's major / minor periods.
