Mantra, Kirtan And Stotra: Sanskrit Chants

Vani Devi chantes the Kirtan of the Hanuman Chalisa, written by Tulsidas (1532-1623) in Awadhi language. "Chalisa" is derived from the Hindi word "chali" which simply means forty and because the kirtan about Hanuman has forty verses, it got the title of "Hanuman Chalisa". Here is the complete text - which cana be found in the Yoga Vidya Kirtanheft as no. 706 - to sing along: Shrīguru Charana Saroja Raja Nija mana Mukura Sudhāri Baranau Raghubara Vimala Jasu Jo Dāyaku Phala Chari Buddhihīna Tanu Janike Sumirau Pavana-Kumāra Budhi Bala Vidya Dehu Mohi Harahu Kalesa Bikāra Jay Hanumāna Jnana Guna Saga-ra Jay Kapisa Tihu Loka Ujāgara Rama Duta Atulita Bala Dhama Anjani Putra Pavanasuta-Nama Mahābīra Bikrama Bajarangī Kumati Nivara Sumati Ke Sangi Kanchana Barana Birāja Subesā Kanana Kundala Kunchita Kesa Hatha Bajra Au Dhvajā Birājai Kāndhe Mūmja Janeeu Sājai Shankara Suvana Kesari-Nandana
