Origin & Story

Composed independently (not from a specific scripture) · Goswami Tulsidas · 16th century CE (circa 1574)

Tulsidas composed the Hanuman Chalisa while imprisoned by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in Fatehpur Sikri. According to tradition, Tulsidas was jailed for refusing to perform miracles. In prison, he composed these 40 verses in praise of Hanuman. Upon completing the recitation, legend says an army of monkeys descended upon the city causing havoc, forcing Aurangzeb to release Tulsidas. The chalisa is written in Awadhi (a Hindi dialect), making it accessible to common people rather than just Sanskrit scholars.

✦ As told in scripture

The Hanuman Chalisa itself declares in verse 38: 'Jo sat baar paath kar koi, chhutahi bandi maha sukh hoi' — whoever recites this 100 times shall be freed from bondage and attain supreme bliss. Lord Shiva himself is said to be the witness to this promise (verse 39). In the Ramayana, when Hanuman brought the Sanjeevani herb (referenced in verse 11), he lifted the entire Dronagiri mountain across hundreds of miles to save Lakshman's life — a feat that demonstrates the limitless power invoked through this chalisa.
