Since our childhood, we have been watching our family members chant Hanuman Chalisa while offering their prayers, especially on Tuesdays but have you wondered what are the benefits of chanting Hanuman Chalisa?
The Hanuman Chalisa is an ancient Hindu devotional hymn attributed to the poet-saint Tulsidas. It is a 40-verse prayer dedicated to Lord Hanuman, and it is believed that chanting this mantra brings strength, courage, and protection. The Hanuman Chalisa has been used for centuries by Hindus to invoke the power of Lord Hanuman in times of distress and adversity.
Let’s Understand what is the Significance of it.
To understand the benefits of chanting Hanuman Chalisa we need to first understand who is Lord Hanuman and why he is worshipped as Sankatmochan. Without knowing the importance of Lord hanuman our knowledge about hanuman chalisa chanting benefits is incomplete.
The meaning of the word ‘Hanuman’ in Sanskrit comes from two words.
Hanu+Man . Hanu Means – Jaw. Man means Prominent.
One who has a prominent Jawline is called Hanuman.
Lord Hanuman was born to Anjana and Kesari. In ways, he is also the son of lord Vayu, as there is an association of Vayu in the birth of hanuman. Anjana was worshiping Vayu for progeny. At the same time, King Dasaratha was performing “Putra Kamesti Yagya” for getting the child.
At the end of the Yagya, the divine pudding (Payasam) is shared by three of his wives, leading to the birth of Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha, and Satrukana.
A flying Kite snatched a portion of it. This portion was made to fall into the hands of Anjana by Lord Vayu, who consumed it leading birth of Hanuman.
Hence Hanuman is called Anjani Putra as well as Vayu Putra. This is how Lord Hanuman is linked to Rama & Lakshmana
Hanuman Link to Surya:
When Hanuman was in his youth and hungry he tried to grab to eat red-colored sun, Mistaking it for a ripe fruit.
Lord Indra intervened and struck Hanuman with his thunderbolt.
It hit Hanuman on his jaw, and he fell to the earth dead with a broken jaw. Hanuman’s father Vayu (air) became upset and withdrew all the air on Earth. The lack of air created immense suffering to all living beings.
Lord Shiva intervened and resuscitated Hanuman, which in turn prompted Vayu to return to the living beings.
Hence Hanuman gets the blessings of Lord Shiva, that no negative energy can stand Infront of him, as he is the lord of Atharvana Veda, with the blessings of Lord Shiva
As the mistake was done by Indra, he grants Hanuman a wish that his body would be as strong as Indra’s Vajra, and that his Vajra can also not harm him.
Vayu granted his ability to fly, wind won’t affect him.
Agni granted he won’t be affected by fire.
Varuna granted he won’t be harmed by Water.
Lord Brahma Granted he can visit any place that he won’t be stopped.
Hence these blessings made Lord Hanuman to be granted with Unique Powers & Strength.
Hanuman Chalisa:
Hanuman Chalisa is attributed to Tulsidas, a poet-saint who lived in the 16th century CE.
Chalisa is derived from the Hindi word, chalis – which means “forty.”
The Hanuman Chalisa is, therefore, so-called because it has 40 verses that praise Hanuman
