The Hanuman Chalisa is a Hindu devotional hymn that tells the story of Hanuman's devotion to Lord Ram. It's been important in Hindu society since ancient times, and millions of Hindus recite it every day. The hymn's 40 verses, plus couplets at the beginning and end, are said to teach people about devotion, courage, and strength. Some believe that reciting the Hanuman Chalisa brings inner peace, happiness, and spiritual growth. It's also said to promote physical and mental well-being, and to reduce stress and anxiety.
