Text

The Hanuman Chalisa is a devotional hymn attributed to Goswami Tulsidas. It is traditionally composed of two opening dohas, forty chaupais, and one closing doha. The Devanagari spelling was reconciled against several published editions, including Shubh Panchang, Kavita Kosh, HinduTone, and YogaWiki. Where printings differ, this site follows the reading shared by most of them. The Roman transliteration follows that Devanagari.

Translation

The English meanings were written for this app. They are intentionally plain and compact, made for a verse-by-verse reader rather than as a scholarly commentary. The original hymn, composed by Tulsidas in the 16th century, is in the public domain. The English meaning is this site's own work; a few verses say what the hymn itself promises, and we report that as the hymn's words, not as a promise of ours.
