The Hanuman Chalisa extols the virtues and heroic deeds of Hanuman. Hanuman is believed to be a chiranjivi, one of the immortal beings, who resides on Earth in his physical form even today. Recited daily by millions of people, the Hanuman Chalisa is one of the most popular and revered hymns in the world.
Tulsidas assures us that through the recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa, one can attain not only freedom from the sorrows and hardships of worldly life and the enjoyment of life's blessings, but also spiritual elevation and ultimately liberation from the endless cycle of birth and death.
