Hanuman chalisa
Doha
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 deficiency of my intelligence, I
Concentrate
my attention on Pavan Kumar and humbly
Ask for
strength, intelligence and true knowledge to
Relieve me
of all blemishes, causing pain.
Chaupaai
Victory to
thee, O'Hanuman! Ocean of Wisdom-All
Hail to
you O'Kapisa! (fountain-head of power,wisdom
And Shiva-Shakti)
You illuminate all the three worlds
(Entire
cosmos) with your glory.
You are
the divine messenger of Shri Ram. The
Repository
of immeasurable strength, though known
Only as
Son of Pavan (Wind), born of Anjani.
With Limbs
as sturdy as Vajra (The mace of God Indra)
You are
valiant and brave. On you attends good Sense
And Wisdom.
You dispel the darkness of evil thoughts.
Your
physique is beautiful golden coloured and your dress
Is pretty.
You wear ear rings and have long curly hair.
You carry
in your hand a lightening bolt along with a victory
(kesari)
flag and wear the sacred thread on your shoulder.
As a
descendant of Lord Sankar, you are a comfort and pride
Of Shri Kesari.
With the lustre of your Vast Sway, you are
Propitiated
all over the universe.
You are
the repository of learning, virtuous and fully accom-
Plished,
always keen to carry out the behest's of Shri Ram.
You are an
ardent listener, always so keen to listen to the
Narration of
Shri 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) cheerfully
Embraced you
with his heart full of joy.
Shri
Raghupati (Shri Ram) lustily extolled your excellence and
Said:
"You are as dear to me as my own brother Bharat."
Thousands
of living beings are chanting hymns of your glories;
Saying thus,
Shri Ram warmly hugged him (Shri Hanuman).
When
prophets like Sanka, even the Sage like Lord Brahma,
The great
hermit Narad himself, Goddess Saraswati and Ahisha
(one of
immeasurable dimensions).
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.
Carrying
the Lord's Signet Ring in your mouth, there is
Hardly any
wonder that you easily leapt across the ocean.
The burden
of all difficult tasks of the world become light
With your
kind grace.
You are
the sentry at the door of Shri Ram's Divine Abode.
No one can
enter it without your permission,
All
comforts of the world lie at your feet. The devotees enjoy all
Divine pleasures
and feel fearless under your benign Protection.
You alone
are befitted to carry your own splendid valour. All the
Three worlds
(entire universe) tremor at your thunderous call.
All the
ghosts, demons and evil forces keep away, with the
Sheer mention
of your great name, O'Mahaveer!!
All
diseases, pain and suffering disappear on reciting regularly
Shri
Hanuman's holy name.
Those who
remember Shri Hanuman in thought, words and deeds
With Sincerity
and Faith, are rescued from all crises in life.
All who
hail, worship and have faith in Shri Ram as the Supreme
Lord and
the king of penance. You make all their difficult tasks
Very easy.
Whosoever
comes to you for fulfillment of any desire with faith
And sincerity,
Will he alone secure the imperishable fruit of
Human life.
All
through the four ages your magnificent glory is acclaimed far
And wide.
Your fame is Radiantly acclaimed all over the Cosmos.
You are
Saviour 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 Janki.
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. Bless me in the capacity as my
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! Conqueror
of the Wind, 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.
