      Namaste Catherine,

      Yes, you can chant the Hanuman chalisa in english, as the language to God is not the criteria, it reaches to god with your devotion

      of faith and belief.

      You can listen the chanting in Hindi/sansrit as your soul only listens to the mantra which purifies entire body and soul.


      Thanks & Regards,

      You can chant anytime, but its good when you chant in your pooja room during morning after shower and before go to bed, Either at pooja room OR at your bedroom, as that will avoid Dhurswapna (bad dreams) and negativities.

    Hi all viewers, I shared my daily life experiences after fully devotee of Lord Hanuman ji.I chant Hanuman chalish 108 times on Hanuman jayanti (According to eastern India,Oriya Panji) every year since 2005.I already faced and am facing a lot of problems in my life regarding education delay,field changing attitude in job,lack of concentration, internal and external confidence due to Rahu Mahadasha and badly placed jupiter in D-9(Navamansa) chart which is placed excellent in D-1(Langa) chart.Jupiter is significator of 11 houses in my kundli. (I know astrology very well) But due to Lord Hanuman Ji's blessing and dedication to chant Hanuman Chalish on Hanuman Jayanti I survived from ill effect of Rahu and Jupiter and other malefic planets till now.I have complete faith on Lord hanuman Ji which gives me courage to face all obstacles in my life. So my advice to all chant Hanuman Chalisha daily which gives u a lot of courage to face the real world. Jai shree Ram.......

      Dear Sunny, There is not a particular rule to chant about 1008 times in Hanuman Chalisa itself written (Jo Saath baar path kar koi, chute Bandhi Maha Sukhi Hoi) so chanting 108 times as written is good. But if you want to chant 1008 times then you can either choose Tuesday , Saturday or Sunday and chant 108 times on these days and complete it as per your wishes.

    I learnt Hanuman Chalisa through Smt. M.S.Subbulakshmi ?Amma’s CD and got byhearted. On 27/12/ 2005 i met with a very big accident in main road. My right leg tibia broke on the spot and i could not get up. Buses, cars and two-wheelers were plying continuously. I called one of my friend who was walking ahead in a feeble voice and she came back running to help me. But, she also could not lift me single-handedly. No one around were ready to help. At that time, one auto came and stood. Auto man got down, lifted me and put me in the auto. He told that he presumed me to be his sister and took us to the hospital. He waited patiently. After the initial first-aid help, i remembered to give money for him. When I asked his name, he told that his name is MARUTHI. There are thousands and thousands of name in this universe. But his name was MARUTHI. And it do not see this as a co-incidence. Till date i feel that Lord Hanuman sent me this person to help me.

      Hanuman Chalisa is one of the great poetic works of Goswami Tulsidas. Hanuman Chalisa holds a special place and importance in the Hindu religion. It is said that by reciting Hanuman Chalisa, one can appease the monkey God, Hanuman and seek His blessings. Reciting Hanuman Chalisa also helps in overcoming the bad effects of the Saturn. As Tuesday is considered as the day of Lord Hanuman, it is the best way to devote the time and thoughts to impress Him and win His heart. Each verse of the Hanuman Chalisa has it's own importance. It is said that the recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa at night has some miraculous effect on the person. However, there are many people especially men who take bath early in the morning on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and then recite the Hanuman Chalisa. It is believed that reciting Hanuman Chalisa is very powerful as it helps reduce the effects of Sade Sati, and also bring good health and prosperity. Moreover, Hanuman Chalisa recitation can also help ward off spirits. The best time to recite Hanuman Chalisa is in the morning and at night. Those under the evil influences of the Saturn should chant the Hanuman Chalisa at night 8 times on Saturdays for better results. Here are some benefits of reciting the powerful Hanuman Chalisa. Benefits Of Reciting Hanuman Chalisa: Ward Off Spirits: This is one of the most powerful benefit of reciting Hanuman Chalisa. Lord Hanuman is considered as a God who helps get rid of evils and spirits that can be harmful. The hymn will also help get rid of scary and fearful thoughts.

Reduce Effects of Sade Sati: It is said that worshiping Lord Hanuman is one of the best ways to impress Shani Dev and reduce the effects of Sade Sati. According to the stories, Lord Hanuman saved the life of Shani Dev and this when Shani Dev said that He will not harm a true devotee of Hanuman. Forgive Sins: We all commit sins knowingly and unknowingly. You can ask for forgiveness by reciting the Hanuman Chalisa. Reciting the opening verses of the Hanuman Chalisa at night at least 8 times helps to remove the sins you may have committed. Remove Obstacles: If one recites Hanuman Chalisa at night, he/she is able to get the divine protection of Lord Hanuman and all his/her obstacles are removed. These are few benefits of reciting Hanuman Chalisa. Absolute faith and correct attitude will get you the blessings of the monkey-God and with the recital of Hanuman Chalisa, you can achieve whatever you desired.
