Hanuman Chalisa
I had been 'finally' asked to chant the Hanuman Chalisa every morning. Apparently that is the elixir for all misaligned planets casting their dark shadows on my well-being. It also should drive away a couple (or more?) miscreant spirits who appear to have developed a deep liking towards me for carrying out their spells. Here is a little preface of the Hanuman Chalisa-
"Shri Guru Charan Saroj Raj, Nij Man Mukar Sudhari, Barnau Raghuvar Bimal Jasu, Jo dayaku Phal Char"
With the dust of Guru's Lotus feet, I clean the mirror of my mind and then narrate the sacred glory of Sri Ram Chandra, The Supereme among the Raghu dynasty. The giver of the four attainments of life.
"Jo Sat Baar Paath Kar Koi, Chhutahi Bandi Maha Sukh Hoi"
One who recites this Hanuman Chalisa one hundred times daily for one hundred days becomes free from the bondage of life and death and enjoys the highest bliss at last
"Jo Yah Padhe Hanuman Chalisa, Hoy Siddhi Sakhi Gaurisa"
As Lord Shankar witnesses, all those who recite Hanuman Chalisa regularly are sure to be benedicted
I havent managed to follow the decree with obedience, but shall try from now. Its fun especially if you know how to chant it. While I was a kid, a nearby temple used to play the Hanuman Chalisa every day at 6 PM on those old age loudspeakers. I picked up the tune from there. For new age denizens :-) we have youtube.. here is the link.
