--------------
Hanuman Chalisa is a Hindu devotional hymn addressed to Hanuman ji. It is traditionally believed to have been authored by Tulsidas in the Awadhi language, and is his best known text apart from the Ramcharitmans. The word "chalisa" is derived from "chalis", which means "40" in Hindi, as the Hanuman Chalisa has 40 verses excluding the couplets at beginning and end.
The Hanuman Chalisa should be recited at least once in a week (Tuesdays or Saturdays). Early morning and after the sunset are the favoured times. It is recommended to recite the Chalisa 11 times (Hanuman being the 11th incarnation of Lord Shiv). Some recite the prayer everyday, normally before setting out for work. Tulsidas suggested that the Hanuman Chalisa should be recited a
hundred times in order to obtain special benefits and in special occasions - serious illness, important examinations, major hurdles etc..
