Shri Hanuman Ji Ki Aarti

Aarti Kije Hanuman Lala Ki • Dusht Dalan Raghunath Kala Ki

Stanza 1 of 6

Aarti kījai Hanumān lalā kī | Dusht dalan Raghunāth kalā kī ||

Jāke bal se girivar kāmpai | Rog dosh jāke nikat na jhāmpai ||

आरती कीजै हनुमान लला की । दुष्ट दलन रघुनाथ कला की ॥

जाके बल से गिरिवर कांपै । रोग दोष जाके निकट न झांपै ॥

English Meaning: Perform the sacred Aarti of beloved child Hanuman, who embodies the divine prowess of Lord Rama to eradicate all negative forces. By whose immense strength even mighty mountains tremble, and near whom no disease or affliction can ever approach.

Lank vidhvams kie Raghurāī | Tulsīdās swāmī kīrti gāī ||

लंक विध्वंस किए रघुराई । तुलसीदास स्वामी कीर्ति गाई ॥

Frequently Asked Questions

Shri Hanuman Chalisa was composed in the 16th century by the revered saint-poet Goswami Tulsidas in Awadhi, a classical literary dialect of Hindi. It comprises 40 quatrains (Chaupais) and 3 couplets (Dohas).
How many total verses are in the Hanuman Chalisa?
There are 43 verses in total: 2 opening Dohas ("Shri Guru Charan Saroj Raj..."), 40 main Chaupais ("Jai Hanuman Gyan Gun Sagar..." to "...Kijai Nath Hriday Mah Dera"), and 1 concluding Doha ("Pawan Tanay Sankat Haran...").
What are the spiritual and mental benefits of reading Hanuman Chalisa daily?
Daily chanting of Hanuman Chalisa brings inner peace, courage, focus, and dispels fear, anxiety, and negative obstacles. As written in Chaupai 25: "Nashe rog hare sab peera, japat nirantar hanumat beera" (Continuous remembrance dispels all ailments and removes all suffering).
When is Hanuman Jayanti celebrated and what is its spiritual significance?
Hanuman Jayanti marks the divine appearance day of Lord Hanuman and is celebrated with reverence across India on Chaitra Purnima (the full moon day of Chaitra month, around March–April). Devotees observe fasting, chant the Hanuman Chalisa and Sundarkand, and offer vermilion (sindoor) and sweets to seek Bajrangbali's blessings for strength and protection.
Is Lord Hanuman an incarnation (Ansh) of Lord Shiva?
Yes. According to sacred scriptures including the Shiva Purana (Shatarudra Samhita) and Skanda Purana, Lord Hanuman is the 11th Rudra avatar (divine incarnation/ansh) of Bhagwan Shiva. He manifested on Earth specifically to aid and serve Maryada Purushottam Shri Rama in upholding dharma. Hence, Chaupai 6 hails him as "Shankar Suvan Kesarinandan".
