The Importance of Hanuman Chalisa
Hanuman Chalisa is an ageless hymn to love. Being the epitome of faith, submission, and devotion, Lord Hanuman is revered for his unwavering loyalty to Lord Ram. Saint Goswami Tulsidas, the writer of the Tulsi Ramayana (Ramacharitamanasa), is the creator of the “Hanuman Chalisa.”
The Hanuman Chalisa is said to have been authored by an ailing Tulsidas. Writing and reciting hymns to Lord Hanuman aided Tulsidas in getting well. The 40 verses of the Hanuman Chalisa, written in Avadhi, are devoted to praising Lord Hanuman. This particular variety of Hindi was spoken in the birthplace of Lord Rama, Ayodhya.

Pawan Tanay Sankat Haran, Mangal Murti Roop.
Ram Lakhan Sita Sahit, Hriday Basahu Sur Bhoop.
Dear Wind Son, All sorrows are dispelled by you. You are wealth and good fortune personified. Live in my heart forever, Mother Sita, Laxmana, and Lord Rama.
The heart and breath meet.
Everyone wants to be mentally calm, but what if you could reach heavenly happiness by breathing? As Gurudev so eloquently put it, negativity is vanquished and the mind and soul become one when our soul (Rama) and mind (Sita) rest on the shoulders of breath (Hanuman).
It is possible to feel divine happiness in that condition of union. To be able to live in your heart no matter what, all you have to do is learn how to use your breath.
