HANUMAN CHALISA- in a nutshell

Shree Guru Charan Saroj Ruj, Nij mun mukur sudhari.
Varanau Raghuvar vimal jas, jo dayak fal chaari.
Buddhiheen tanu janike, sumiro Pawankumar.
Bala buddhi vidya dehu mohi, harahu kales vikar.

Jai Hanuman gyana gun sagar, Jai Kapis tihu lok ujaagar.
Rama doot atulit bala dhaama, Anjani putra Pawan sut naama.
Mahaveer vikram bajarangi, kumati nivaar sumati ke sangi.
Kanchana baran biraj subesa, kaanan kundal kunchit kesa.

Haath bajra aur dhwaja biraaje, kandhe moonjh janau saaje.
Sankar suwan Kesarinandan, tej pratap maha jag bandana.
Vidyavaan guni atichaatur, Rama kaaj karibe ko aatur.
Prabhu charitra sunibe ko rasiya, Rama Lakhana Sita man basiya.

Sookshma roop dhari Siyahi dikhava, vikat roop dhari lanka jaraava.
Bheem roop dhari asura sanhaare, Ramachandra ke kaaj savaanre.
Laaye sajeevan lakhana jiyaye, shree Raghubeer harasi ur laaye.
Raghupati kinhee bahut badhayi, tum mama priya Bharat sam bhaayi.

Sahas badan tumharo jas gaavein, as kahi Shreepati kanth lagavein.
Sanakadik Brahmadi Munisa, Narad sarad sahit ahisa.
Jam kuber dikpaal jaha te, kahin kobid kahin sake kahaan te.
Tum upkaar sugreevain keenhaa, Rama milaye raj pad deenha.

Tumharo mantra Vibhishan maanaa, lankeshwar bhaye sab jag jaana.
Yug sahasra jojan par bhanu, leelyo tahin madhur fal jaanu.
Prabhu mudrika meli mukh maahin, jaladhi laanghi gaye acharaj naahi.
Durgam kaaj jagat ke jete, sugam anugrah tumhare tete.

Rama duaare tum rakhvaare, hota na aajnaa binu paisaare.
Sab sukh lahai tumhaari sarnaa, tum rakshak kaahu ko darnaa.
Aapan tej samhaaro aape, teeno lok haank te kaape.
Bhoot pishaach nikat nhi aavein, Mahabeer jab naam sunaavai.

Naasai rog harai sab peera, japan nirantar hanumat beera.
Sankat se hanuman chhudaavei, man kram vachan dhyaan jo laavei.
Sab par Rama tapasvi raja, tin ke kaaj sakal tum saaja.
Aur manorath jo koi laavai, soi amit jeevan fal paavai.

Chaaro jug parataap tumhaara, hai parsiddh jagat ujiyaara.
Sadhu sant ke tum rakhvaare, asur nikandan Rama dulaare.
Ashta siddhi nav nidhi ke daata, as bar deen Jaanaki Mata.
Rama rasayan Tumhare paasa, sada raho Raghupati ke daasa.

Tumhare bhajan Rama ko paavai, janam janam ke dukh bisraavai.
Antkaal raghubar pur jaaiyi, jahaan janm hari bhakt kahaayi.
Aur devata chitt na dharayi, Hanumat seyi sarb sukh karayi.
Sankat kate mite sab peera, jo sumirai Hanumat balbeera.

Jayi jayi jayi Hanuman gosaayin, kripa karahu gurudev ki naayin.
Jo sat baar path kar koi, chhootahi bandi mahasukh hoyi.
Jo yaha padhe Hanuman chalisa, hoya siddhi saakhi Gaurisa.
Tulsidaas sadaa Hari chera, keejai nath hridaya manha deraa.

Pavan tanaya sankat haran, mangal moorti roop.
Rama Lakhana Sita sahit, hridaya basahu sur bhoop.
Siyavar Ramachandra ki Jai…

We can have seen the detailed description of Hanuman Chalisa.

Now, let see the essence, and enjoy the ambrosia of childish energy.

• When Hanuman Ji was a child, his energy was extravagant. He was very active, the vocabulary cannot illustrate the eagerness and vigour. He was so agile that, once he leaped high up into the air, and reached the sun, and engulfed it. This is the reality, not a mere exaggeration in classics. We have the light of intensity which equals about that of the thousand suns. A single sun didn’t bother Him.
  In present era, mental disorders are named in an idio-centric manner. One of its example is ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). The children grow more vigorous, as their spiritual energy splashes off their existences. But, parents are unaware about the ways to manage such energy fluctuations, thus children land up in a psychiatry clinic. If the energy and the thoughts are channelized in a proper way, all children and even grown-ups can become Hanuman.
• The demigods and celestial beings were puzzled, as the sky ventured into deep gloom, darkness creeped over the sky. If the sun would have been absent, the life on the land of mortals would have been unsustainable.
• The Gods prayed to Shiv Ji, as it is quoted, ..Sankar suvan Kesarinandan.. (Hanuman Ji is no other than Shiv Ji). After craving prayers, Hanuman Ji took out the sun back.
• His mother, Anjani Mata was also puzzled, as His agility couldn’t be tamed. She prayed to Lord Shiv, and surrendered at the Divine feet. A saint came to her, and blessed Him that He would be calm enough, and His energy would lie in dormant state within Him, as long He wants it to be manifested. The words operated themselves, and calmness was endowed.
  Such are the qualities of a spiritual mother. In today’s era, children are trained in their pre-school days, to recite and learn the grand scriptures. They are trained to take degrees and certificates, in their juvenile stage. The energy is wasted in materialistic accesses.
• Hanuman Ji became calm. He used to ponder over His own identity, the true aim of His life. He wanted to feel the True Self.
  We all might be elder to Little Hanuman Ji, at this moment. If He thinks about His identity, why do we stand blindfolded about our true Self? Irrespective of age or gender, we are ought to brainstorm ourselves in a positive manner.
• Then, He asked His mother, and she guided Him to beseech Soorya Dev, for he was His Guru. He remained under the Divine guidance of His Guru, and found the True answers. He was called Anjani putra or Pawan putra, before his initiation, he had to lose more strings of ego and individuality, for he may feel the Oneness. He was named HANUMAN by His Guru, for He had lost (hanan) his ego (maana).
• Lord Rama came in His life. When the army of monkeys was finding Mother Sita, and found that She was abducted by Lankesh, they had to reach Lanka. When a meeting was going amongst Lord Rama, Hanuman Ji, Jambvan Ji and the rest, Jambvan Ji reminded Hanuman Ji about his hidden energy, for the time had come, for it could be used. Jambvan Ji praised Him again, for He was unaware about His potentialities. When Jambvan Ji repeated Name of RAMA, He realized that He was born to serve the Essence, for the world is drifted towards the Oneness. Hanuman Ji had already lost his ego, but, his few strings were lagging, which were finally cut. Hanuman Ji bowed before Lord Rama, and felt that he was He Himself. He realized that Rama and Hanuman were same.
  When two Guru are before each other, one has to bow before the other, for the concept of Oneness blossoms. RAMA is not revered by Hanuman Ji as a king, but as the embodiment of Soul.
• Hanuman Ji was given a ring, by Rama Ji. He placed the ring in his mouth, and took Rama’s NAME, and leaped across thousands of miles, in a breath. He told about Rama Ji to Mother Sita, and burned Lanka. He even tried to convince Ravan, to bow down before Rama, but ego had clouded him. He took the NAME and leaped back, from Lanka.
  Though Shiv Ji (Hanuman Ji here) was Ravan’s Guru, but the wrong set of thoughts made him dazed.
  It is often said that Name is bigger than the Rama, as when we enunciate the Name and feel his presence, we are freed that very moment.

People often consider that to follow a spiritual path, they need to renounce the duties of the householder. This is not a correct presumption. Householder’s life is a best life, for all the basic interactions amongst the relations make us closer to the Self. We need to just turn our pace, inwards. It is said, ..jo sat baar paath kar koi,… . If we bow before Him, even for the magnitude of a minutest droplet of a droplet, we shall be freed. Even Rama Ji carried out his royal duties, when he returned back. Even, Krishna Ji had a grand family, but was not attached to them, for even a speck. If we cherish the potency of Brahma muhurt, and practice of Brahmacharya, we can attain everything, which we deserve.

In the scriptures of Ramayana and Ramacharitmanas, people are often confused. Ramayan is compiled by Rishi Valmiki Ji, in Satyug, before the birth of Rama Ji. It includes all the happenings, which happened in Tretayug. Ramacharitmanas is compiled by Tulsidas Ji, when Hanuman Ji guided him. It includes the praises to Rama Ji.

It might again appear contradictory that the happenings in Tretayug were already compiled in Ramayan. RAMA IS NOT THE RESIDENT OF AYODHYA, IT IS THE SELF. We all are the RAMA, our script is already generated. If we move according to the Divine script, we can be RAMA ourselves.
