About

About the Hanuman Chalisa mantra

The Hanuman Chalisa is a 40-verse devotional hymn composed by the saint-poet Tulsidas in the 16th century. Written in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi, it praises Lord Hanuman — the monkey-god whose devotion to Lord Rama is the model of bhakti.

Chalisa means 'forty' (chalis = 40), referring to the forty chaupais or verses. The full recitation takes about 9 to 11 minutes and is considered one of the most powerful protective prayers in the Hindu tradition.

Devotees recite the Chalisa daily, often in multiples — 11 for general practice, 21 for serious challenges, 51 for major obstacles, and 108 for life-altering vows. Tuesdays and Saturdays are especially auspicious for Hanuman worship.

Common questions

Frequently asked

How many times should I chant the Hanuman Chalisa?

For daily practice, once or 11 times. For specific challenges, 21 or 51 rounds. For life-changing vows or major obstacles, 108 rounds — often spread over multiple days.

Can I read the Chalisa from a book or screen?

Yes, especially as a beginner. Many devotees memorise it over time but reading is completely acceptable.

What if I make a mistake mid-recitation?

Take a breath, restart the chaupai you were on, and continue. Don't restart the entire Chalisa unless you wish to.

Is the Hanuman Chalisa only for men?

No. Women, men, and children all recite it. There are no gender restrictions.

Can I chant during my menstrual cycle?

Traditions vary. Many modern teachers say mental recitation is fine; some traditional families prefer to abstain. Follow what your conscience and family practice guide.
