Understanding Hanuman

"Sripad Jagannatha Dasa guides us into the sacred heart space of this life-changing hymn as only a dedicated lifelong Ram bhakta may. A self-realized yogi - a wonderful trip!." The Yoga Journal "I bow to the Hanuman who is swifter than the mind and wind. The sacred one who has controlled his senses, the one who is the epitome of learning and wisdom. Salutations to the son of the God of Air and chief of the Vanaras, I pray always to Lord Hanuman." The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn (stotra) in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "ch?l?s?" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman - his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day. Hanumanji is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram and an incarnation of the mighty Lord Shiva. He is therefore the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged in all times and places. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor. Lord Hanuman is the eternal link between all devotees and Ram whom he serves, inspires, and protects. By honoring Hanuman one is blessed with all kinds of siddhis including power, valor, prosperity, and devotion. Reciting or hearing the Hanuman Chalisa infuses one with unlimited energy and prana. This sacred mantra also increases a person's resilience and they emerge victorious in every challenging situation.
