Hanuman Chalisa Path
A guided practice for reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, the beloved forty-verse devotional hymn composed by the great saint-poet Tulsidas in the 16th century. The Hanuman Chalisa is one of the most widely recited prayers in Hinduism, known for its power to invoke Hanuman's protection, remove fear, and bestow courage and devotion. It is traditionally recited on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and is considered a complete prayer in itself.
