Shri Hanuman Chalisa: The Science And Facts
Hanuman Chalisa on Hanuman is a devotional hym dedicated to Bajrang Bali by the Great Indian poet, philosopher and saint Shri Goswami Tulsidas. Born in the 16th century, Tulsidas authored Hanuman Chalisa in Awadhi language when he was quite young. Here are some interesting facts about hanuman chalisa.
1. The Distance Between Earth & Sunजुग सहस्त्र जोजन पर भानु ,
लील्यो ताहि मधुर फल जानू||18||juga mean the sum of Four Yugas (1 complete Mahayuga) with the unit in divine years.
Satiyuga= 4800 divine years
Tretayuga=3600 divine years
Dwaparyuga=2400 divine years
Kaliyuga=1200 divine years
So 1 juga= 12000 years
Now next is sahastra (सहस्त्र) is common sanskrit word meaning “1000”
Next is jojan also known as Yojan that equals to 8 miles…!!
Calculate distance of sun from earth
Juga X Sahastra X jojan (in miles) = 12000 X 1000 X 8 = 9,60,00,000 miles
Now 1 mile= 1.6km
So 9,60,00,000 miles= 9,60,00,000 X 1.6 km = 15,36,00,000km.
Today estimated distance by NASA is approximately 15,0000000 km which is close to above.
2. Tulsidas met the Immortal Hanuman Face to FaceTulsidas every morning used to go out in the woods just outside of Banaras for his ablutions. After returning back, the remaining water was fetched to a tree which was consumed by a spirit, whose thirst seems to be endless. He was so happy with Tulsidas that he appeared and asked him for a boon. Tulsidas immediately expressed his desire to meet Shri Ram. Expressing his inability to arrange a meeting with Shri Ram, the spirit gave him the ticket to meet Hanuman. Yes, he told how Tulsidas can meet and approach Hanuman, the biggest Bhakt of Shri Ram. Next day, Tulsidas while doing his bhajan saw an old leper attending, he was not only the first person to come but also the last one to leave. Tulsidas followed him and revealed the fact that he knew who he was. Lord Hanuman at first denied, but then came in his real form. This place where Tulsidas met Lord Hanuman is the same place where Sankat Mochan Temple finds his foundation now.
3. Tulsidas wrote Hanuman Chalisa in Prison Tulsi Das went to meet the then Mughal Islamic emperor Aurangzeb in Delhi after having had a vision of God Sri Rama in Gokula, the birth place of God Sri Krishna. The aurangzed challenged Tulsidas as to show Sri Rama to him. When Tulsidas replied that it is not possible without true devotion to Rama, he was imprisoned by Aurangzeb. In the prison, Tulsidas as is supposed to have written the beautiful verses of the Hanuman Chalisa.
4. The Monkey Menace When he completed the Hanuman Chalisa in prison, it is said that an army of monkeys menaced the city of Delhi. The king unsuccessfully tried to control the monkeys with his forces. Finally, the Emperor is supposed to have realized that the monkey menace was a manifestation of the wrath of Hanuman, the Monkey God. He released Tulsidas and urged him to intervene in this grave matter and it is said that the monkeys stopped their mischiefs immediately after Tulsi’s release.
5. Reincarnation of Valmiki Related: Bizarre Things Done In The Name Of Satan That Will Give You Goosebumps
Banner Tulsidas was acclaimed in his lifetime to be a reincarnation of Valmiki, the composer of the original Ramayana in Sanskrit. Tulsidas lived in the city of Varanasi until his death. The Tulsi Ghat in Varanasi is named after him.
6. Who heard it first?
Once when Tulsidas finished singing Sri Rama Charitamanas all people left but one old man was left behind. He was enjoying the pleasure of the song. Then Tulsidas touched the toes of the old man, Lord Hanuman who took the form of the old man showed his original form. Tulsidas was filled with joy by seeing Lord Hanuman original form and started singing sloka consisting with 40 padyas. It is known as Hanuman Chalisa and was first listened by Lord Hanuman himself.
7. Can women chant Hanuman Chalisa?
According to some customs, worshiping Lord Hanuman and chanting Hanuman Chalisa is prohibited by women, especially those who are unmarried. However, though this custom of worshiping is under debate, we see many unmarried girls visiting the temple often and offering their prayers to Lord Hanuman. The reason why people do not recommend young unmarried girls to worship Lord Hanuman is because he is known to be ‘bal Brahmachari’. However, girls can be a staunch follower of Lord Hanuman and also chant the ‘Hanuman Chalisa’.
8. The Chalisa The work consists of forty-three verses – two introductory Doha, forty Chaupais and one Doha in the end. The first introductory Doha begins with the word shrī, which refers to Sita, who is considered the Guru of Hanuman. The auspicious form, knowledge, virtues, powers and bravery of Hanuman are described in the first ten Chaupais.
Chaupais eleven to twenty describe the acts of Hanuman in his service to Rama, with the eleventh to fifteenth Chaupais describing the role of Hanuman in bringing back Lakshman to consciousness.
From the twenty-first Chaupai, Tulsidas describes the need of Hanuman’s Kripa. In the end, Tulsidas hails Hanuman and requests him to reside in his heart and in the heart of Vaishnavas.
The concluding Doha again requests Hanuman to reside in the heart, along with Rama, Lakshman and Sita.
Some popular Chalisa lines and their meaning
Jai Hanuman gyaan gun sagar Jai kapees tihun lok ujagar
Victory to thee, O’Hanuman! Ocean of Wisdom All hail to you O’Kapisa! (Fountain-head of power,
Wisdom and Shiva-Shakti) you illuminate all the Three worlds (Entire cosmos) with your glory.
Shankar suvan kesari nandan
Tej pratap maha jag vandan
As a descendant of Lord Sankar,
You are a comfort and pride of Shri Kesari. With the lustre of your Vast Sway, You are propitiated all over the universe.
Sahas badan tumharo jas gaawe
As kahin shripati kanth lagawe
Thousands of living beings are chanting hymns Of your glories, saying thus, Shri Ram warmly,
Hugged him (Shri Hanuman).

Bhoot Pisach Nikat nhi aawe
Mahavir Jab Naam Sunawe

Forces keep away, with the sheer mention, Of your great name, O’Mahaveer.

From sufferings of several births.
