Origin & Story

Hanuman Chalisa (closing doha) · Tulsidas · 16th century CE

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.

As told in scripture

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.

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.
