This is a very short composition in which a beautiful praise of Pawanputra Shri Hanuman ji has been done. It has a heartfelt prayer to Bajrangbali ji, and the personality of Lord Shri Ram has also been depicted in simple words. The word ‘chalisa’ means ‘forty’ (40) because this praise has 40 verses (excluding the 2 couplets of the introduction). Hanuman Chalisa has been written by devotee Tulsidas ji.

It’s History
Once Akbar called Goswami Ji to his court and asked him to introduce him to Lord Shri Ram. Then Tulsidas Ji said that Lord Shri Ram appears only to his devotees. On hearing this, Akbar put Goswami Tulsidas Ji in prison.
In prison, Goswami wrote Hanuman Chalisa in Awadhi language. As soon as the writing of Hanuman Chalisa was completed, monkeys surrounded Fatehpur Sikri and attacked it. Akbar’s army was also unable to stop the terror of monkeys. Then Akbar followed the advice of a minister and released Tulsidas from prison. As soon as Tulsidas was released from prison, the monkeys left the entire area. After this amazing incident, the glory of Goswami Tulsidas spread far and wide and he became known as a great saint and poet. His works, including Ramcharitmanas, are celebrated with high recognition and festivities in Hinduism!
