Hanuman Chalisa with Pictures in Hindi Language

Many of the Hanuman devotees insist on reciting the 40 verses many times a day (as its mentions in the Chalisa itself) in order to gain blessing from the lord .I personally either go through the verses or listen to the bhajan atleast once a day because of the kind of mental peace it beings . I still can not recite the chalisa without reading it from the book . But I made it a point to understand it fully .

Here , I will give you the meaning of the Chalisa in simple words . The picture above each verse will be a pictorial representation of the verse .

Chalisa means 40 verses . There are numerous bhajans sung by many artists . I suggest you to listen to the chalisa sung by Anup Jalota .It is considered to be the most melodious chalisa though it is a little long .You can download it form here -->Download Hanuman Chalisa

The pictures I used in this article are from the book I bought from the market. I really wish to give credit to the one behind the art. Unfortunately, I have no clue of him/her . All I wish is that may lord bless him .. may he live long and create more such great stuff.
