Hanuman Chalisa

Hanuman, is the monkey god, the son of the Lord of the Wind. He was the most fervant servant of Lord Rama, and an avatar (incarnation) of Rudra (Shiva).
Hanuman is said to have a pact with all the ‘grahas’ or planets, in particular with Lord Shani, the ruler of Saturn, to mitigate, soften or even eliminate any planetary effects and burn planetary karma. He was also blessed at birth with a boon from each one of the 33 thousand ‘devas’ or divine beings. By chanting Hanuman mantras you can achieve anything you set your mind to do, whether it is healing, love, abundance, or anything you desire.
The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40 verse stanza, written by sage Tulasidas in ancient Hindi, and it is said to be one of the most powerful and auspicious chants in ancient India, a hymn dedicated to Lord Hanuman and translated by Sadguru Sant Keshavadas.
Chanting the Hanuman Chalisa daily offers unlimited benefits, even just by listening to it. The benefits can be mental, physical, spiritual, worldly or of any other nature. By the daily chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa, the devotee gets rewards of his/her deed and all kinds of wishes whether they are small or large get fulfilled.
