OM SRI GURUPYO NAMAHA:,RESPECTFUL PRANAMS TO SRI KANCHI MAHA PERIVA.
Hanuman Chalisa
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
[Hanuman Chalisa, the boon of Tulsidas to all the Hindus in the world, will find a place in every home where it can act as a panacea for all problems, be they physical, mental or spiritual. It is a prayer addressed To Hanuman, possibly the greatest character Of Ramayana, next only to Rama and Sita.
God Hanuman was born to Anjana, a monkey. His father is considered to be Lord Shiva and/or Lord Vayu. As a baby, when his mother advised to him to eat any fruit which is purple, he jumped towards the rising Sun God. Indra hit him with his Vajra to save the sun. Hanuman fell down in a coma. Vayu his father took his child away and hid in a cave. Because of this all beings on the earth, who were depending on Vayu to breath started dying. All the gods entreated Lord Vayu, not to be angry and gave Baby Hanuman, several boons. Later in life Hanuman became a friend of Sugreeva, the younger brother of Vali. Vali started tormenting Sugreeva due to some misunderstanding. Because of this Sugreeva was forced to hide in Rishya mooka mountains. Sri Rama and Lakshmana reached this mountain in search of Sita who was stolen by Ravana. Hanuman met them and was instrumental in getting a treaty signed between Sri Rama and Sugreeva. Sri Rama killed Vali and made Sugreeva the king of monkeys. Even at the first meeting Lord Hanuman became charmed by the personality of Sri Rama and became his devotee. As per the treaty, he went in search of Sita, to the south along with a big army of monkeys. He crossed the sea and brought back the news of Sita’s well being to Rama. Later before the war, he requested Rama to have a treaty with Vibheeshana the brother of Ravana.
During the war between Rama and Ravana he played a very major role. When Indrajit, the son of Ravana, killed Lakshmana, he brought the Sanjivini Mountain and saved Lakshmana. He was considered as a brother by Lord Rama and son by Goddess Sita .It is believed that he is a Chiranjeevi, and lives with all of us even today. It is also believed that wherever, the story of Ramayana is told, he would be present in his invisible form to listen to the story.
Sage Valmiki wrote the story of Rama in Sanskrit. Though the story became very popular among scholars , there was a need to write it in the several regional languages. It was written in Hindi by Sage Thulasi Das. Instead of adopting the scholar’s Hindi to do the translation, Sage Thulasi Das adopted the very popular colloquial form of Hindi called Vraja Bhasha. Because of this, even the very common man could understand it easily. Among the Hindi knowing Hindus, even today, it is the number one book.
Saint Thulasi Das who was a great admirer of Hanuman, also wrote these forty verses praising Hanuman and called it Hanuman Chalisa. This is possibly the most popular Hindu prayer written in Hindi even today. Its extreme simplicity makes it dear to every one’s heart.]
Sri Guru charana saroja raj,
Nija mana mukura sudhar,
Varanau Raghuvara vimala yasa,
Jo dayaka phala char.
Having cleaned the mirror of my mind,
With the lotus like feet of my teacher,
I describe the unsullied fame of Lord Rama,
Which would give me the four fold wealth.
Budhi heena thanu jaani ke,
Sumeerou pavana kumar,
Bala budhi vidhya dehu moheem,
Harau klesa vikar.
Though I am one without any brain,
I place in my mind, the son of wind,
And pray to him earnestly to give me,
Wisdom, knowledge and strength,
And steal away from me all my miseries.
