About this listen

Reflecting on one of Hinduism’s most popular prayers for positive energy

Acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies the Hanuman Chalisa for the contemporary listener. His unique approach makes the ancient hymn accessible.

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 400 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.

Hanuman chalisa 360 degree!

It was mentioned about a PDF, but couldn't find. Routine chanting of Hanuman chalisa will surely be more involved and meaningful task now.
The pronounciation of non English parts could be corrected.
Excellent account of very popular verses! Compliments!

Good Book to get the basics on Hanuman Chalisa

Simple book for quick concepts. but some deep philosophies were difficult to understand. narrative was flat and monotonous and could be improved.

Must Listen for Everyone

I loved this book and the explanation of the Hanuman Chalisa by the author. Narrator is also really good. I really loved the way each stanza was explained. Amazing work by author and cherry on top by the narrator.

Really good understanding

A really insightful understanding of hanuman chalisa. Well researched piece from Devdutt. The rendition of Doha could have been more Awadhi like. This has helped me to memorise the chalisa by providing rationale and understanding of what the chaupai says. Kudos!!
