How to Chant Pavan Tanay Sankat Haran
Instructions
This doha is most powerful as the closing prayer after reciting the Hanuman Chalisa — fold your hands and offer it as a heartfelt invitation for Hanuman, with Rama, Lakshmana and Sita, to dwell in your heart. It may also be chanted on its own 11 or 21 times for auspiciousness and protection. Visualise Hanuman as the embodiment of auspiciousness (mangal murti) seated within your heart as you recite.
Spiritual Significance
Devotees regard this closing prayer as the moment the recitation bears fruit, when Hanuman is believed to truly take his seat in the heart of the faithful; it is said that wherever this doha is offered with love, Hanuman, Rama, Lakshmana and Sita grace that home with their protective and auspicious presence.
Origin & History
Source: Hanuman Chalisa (closing doha)
Author: Tulsidas
Goswami Tulsidas frames the forty chaupais of the Hanuman Chalisa with dohas at the beginning and the end. This concluding doha is his final, intimate prayer: having sung Hanuman's glories, he invites the wind-god's son — the remover of troubles and embodiment of auspiciousness — to dwell forever in his heart together with his beloved Rama, Lakshmana and Sita. It is the note of surrender on which the whole hymn closes.
