Hanuman Chalisa in English with Meaning

by | Apr 23, 2024 | Spirituality | 0 comments

On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti 2024, I decided to not only understand the meaning of Hanuman Chalisa but also write it down in English.

Before going in-depth on the Chaupai, I wanted to take a moment to share this image that I had clicked before climbing the stair at the Hanuman Tok in Sikkim. It is believed that this place was where Lord Hanuman had rested while flying with the Sanjeevani Mountain.

While no pictures were allowed inside, the image below represent the route the leads to the top of the Hanuman Tok. I had visited the place when it was full of fog, but the Himalayas can be seen from the top, during the clear sky months of September and October.

Hanuman Tok Sikkim

While this temple is amidst a special scenery, there are many more notable Hanuman mandirs across India.

In Jaipur, I have visited Khole K Hanuman ji Mandir, Kale Hanuman ji, and I’ve also been to Salasar Balaji. Here, Hanuman ji has a moustache and the only place in the world where one can find Him in his avatar.

khole k hanuman ji

Well, now that I have shared all the places I have witnessed Hanuman ji in different forms, let me share the meaning of Hanuman Chalisa in English.

I am doing this for anyone who wishes to understand the Chaupai while chanting or listening to it.
