Reflecting on one of Hinduism's most popular prayer for positive energy Acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies the Hanuman Chalisa for the contemporary reader. His unique approach makes the ancient hymn accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations. Every time we experience negativity in the world and within ourselves, every time we encounter jealousy, rage and frustration, manifesting as violation and violence, we hear, or read, the Hanuman Chalisa. Composed over four hundred years ago by Tulsidas, its simple words in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi and its simple metre, musically and very potently evoke the mythology, history and mystery of Hanuman, the much-loved Hindu deity, through whom Vedic wisdom reached the masses. As verse follows verse, our frightened, crumpled mind begins to expand with knowledge and insight and our faith in humanity, both within and without, is restored.
Can a 40-verse hymn provide the solution to all your problems in this lifetime… and beyond? Why do millions of devotees recite this hymn whenever they are fearful of the unknown? Hanuman Chalisa, a devotional hymn in praise of the Vanar or Monkey God Hanuman, may appear to be a mere chant which someone can recite in about two minutes. Each verse, however, conveys a much deeper message, which is described in this book: verse by verse. Consider this anecdote. Lord Rama sent Hanuman to the netherworld (Pataal-Lok) to fetch his ring that he claimed had fallen down. As Hanuman reached there and was searching for the ring, he requested the king of the netherworld, the serpent Vasuki, to help him. Vasuki led him to a massive mountain of identical rings. A surprised Hanuman requested Vasuki to help him find the actual ring. Vasuki told him about the circle of life wherein all the four yugas or eras (satya-yuga, treta-yuga, dwapar-yuga and kal-yuga) repeat in a periodic manner. Every treta-yuga in the past had a Lord Rama and Hanuman, and in future would also have the same. The mountain of rings is actually infinite for there is no beginning or end to this circle of life. Hanuman finally understood the purpose of his visit and returned to Ayodhya, expecting not to find Lord Rama there but assured that Lord Rama would be born again in future, in the next treta-yuga. Similar to the above mentioned story and the message, many other hidden pearls of wisdom and knowledge conveyed in Hanuman Chalisa are lucidly explained in this book.
The Hanuman Chalisa authored by Goswami Tulsidas is one of the most popular Hindu devotional hymns. The 'Mahaviri' Hindi commentary (1984) by Swami Rambhadracharya has been acclaimed as the best treatise on the Hanuman Chalisa. This book presents an annotated and expanded English translation of the 'Mahaviri' commentary by Nityanand Misra. Each of the 43 verses of the 'Hanuman Chalisa' is explained in three stages. The first phase being a word-for-word translation to help the reader understand the literal meaning of each word in a verse. The second is a simple English translation of each verse. This third and final phase is an informed commentary on the true meaning of the verse, explaining the deep essence of the text with citations from authoritative Hindu scriptures (the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Gita, etc.) and other works of Goswami Tulsidas. All such citations are also translated into English. Following the commentary, Misra also provides five useful appendices for advanced readers. These include more than 120 endnotes (annotations), a detailed note on the prosody and rhythm of all the verses for chanters, the musical notation of the traditional melody of the Hanuman Chalisa for devotional singers and instrumentalists, and two alphabetical indexes for all words and verses used in the hymn. The book is a must-have for reciters and singers of the Hanuman Chalisa who want to understand the deep essence of Tulsidas's timeless hymn to Hanuman. It targets laypersons as well as scholarly readers. The design of the book, including font sizes and line spacing, is suitable for the elderly as well. The book has reached thousands of readers across the globe and has been praised as “the most comprehensive guide to the Hanuman Chalisa available in English”. It has been loved by readers for not only its scholarship and research, but also for its beautiful production, aesthetic typeface, attractive layout, and excellent footnotes and appendices.

Ancient Kriya Yoga Tantric Scripture : Commentaries on Hanuman Chalisa as seen by The Divine Third Eye. This book is an outcome of inner revelations of mystical meanings of Hanuman Chalisa. Penning down itself was full of eternal vibrations which resembled as if being dictated by a Siddha. This journey was full of inexplicable ecstasy and joy, laced with complete surrendering to witnessing the state of Hanuman. It depicts transcendental qualities and attributes of this state in its totality. This body is just an instrument of meditation and the individual is nothing, the individual have nothing. Hanuman is a special state of Siddhas, the qualities of which are described by Hanuman Chalisa. A Sadhak passes through infinite number of states during his Sadhana. Period of stay in any state varies depending on the peculiarities of that state as well the predicament of the Sadhak. During this course, the outer symptoms may not be described and grasped as aptly as inner symptoms. Outer symptoms like trembling and/or levitation of body often lead to bewilderment and amusement of the beholder. Whereas being in the same state, it leads to calm acceptance and grasp of what is happening to someone else being in that state. Hence irrespective of the peculiarities and idiosyncrasies associated with various paths, the Sadhak finds himself in a special state all of a sudden, often termed as being at one place in Siddha Loka. Gradually, he realizes that there are infinite such states, hence places in Siddha Loka, one of which is Hanuman. It becomes clear to him that practice (Sadhana) is gradual, but being in any such state is all of a sudden, involuntary ones during early stages of Sadhana. There is no single prescribed path for Sadhana, simply because it varies from Sadhak to Sadhak, the root of which is often buried deep in one's Providence(Prarabdha). Hence no matter which path a Sadhak adopts for his journey to start with, he will get aligned to the best path, most suitable one for him, in due course of time, gradually. The single most important key is : Continue seeking in with utmost Sincerity and Devotion. Historians often attribute the composition of Hanuman Chalisa to Goswami Tulsi Das, whereas a Sadhak realizes, when time is ripe for him, that the particular Shabda is eternal, ever present, everywhere, perceptible to one only when one is ready during his course of Sadhana, including listening to these being chanted/sung by Siddhas, all the time, beyond the time. This book is dedicated to all Sadhakas.
Poetry. "There are few poets in America who can combine Joan Larkin's formal mastery with her emotional intensity." David Bergman Joan Larkin's are poems of "relentless self-examination, taking on love and death, family and sexuality in a voice that is unsentimental, ruthless and clear-eyed." David Ulin, The Los Angeles Times"
Lord Hanuman is one of the most widely worshiped Gods of Sanatana Dharma. Many people are seen worshipping him on Tuesday and Saturday. India is filled with perhaps the grandest temples of Hanuman in every corner. Lord Hanuman was an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and he was also a main character in the Ramayana. We know Hanuman as a ape or monkey, but he belongs to a particular species 'Kapi'. The 'Kapi' species had their faces somewhat like monkeys and had a tail like apes, but the rest of their body was the same as that of us humans. Those people were very intelligent, brave and powerful. There was also an empire of those who also had a king. They ruled in many parts of India and they were ruled in some of the more remote parts of India at that time which we know today by the name of Indonesia, Jakarta, Thailand etc. where they ran their kingdom. Over time, their species went extinct for no particular reason. Recently, a person confirmed the sighting of a group of some people of 'Kapi' species in a dense forest which numbered around 40 - 50. Lord Hanuman, who was given the boon of immortality by Lord Rama, is still alive and gives sight (Darshan) to his devotees. In part 1, we will discuss about the divine life and achievement of Lord Hanuman. Goswami Tulsidas, who is believed to be the reincarnation of Maharishi Valmiki, got sight (Darshan) of not only Hanuman but also Lord Shree Rama with the help of a phantom, and with his inspiration he composed 'Ramcharitmanas' poetry as well as 'Hanuman Chalisa' and many other poetries. In part 2 we will discuss about Tulsidas's life and achievements.The "Hanuman Chalisa" is a Hindu devotional hymn (Strotra), which addresses to Lord Hanuman. It has forty hymn lines (Chaupais) on Lord Hanuman, which has been authored by a great poet "Tulsidas" in the "Awadhi" language. But he became popular by his best known text "Ramcharitmanas". The "Hanuman Chalisa" word is derived from the word "Hanuman" as this hymn is about Lord Hanuman; and the the "Chalisa" is derived from the word "Chalis". The word "Chalis" is a hindi word which means Forty, as this hymn has forty lines ar verses (couplets are excluded). This hymn or prayer is authored in 16th Century.
