Hanuman is a vanara (a monkey-like humanoid deity), a devotee of Rama, and one of the central characters in the Sanskrit epic Ramayana.
The authorship of the Hanuman Chalisa is attributed to Tulsidas, a poet-saint who lived in the 16th century CE.
Tulsidas was acclaimed in his lifetime to be a reincarnation of Valmiki, the composer of the original Ramayana in Sanskrit.
There are 2 couplets in the beginning and one couplet at the ending between the 40 verses of Chalisa.
The Chalisa details Hanuman in the order of his knowledge, devotion to Rama and man without any desire.
The work consists of forty-three verses – two introductory Dohas, forty Chaupais and one Doha in the end.
The first introductory Doha begins with the word shrī, which refers to Sita, who is considered the Guru of Hanuman.
Although every chaupai and doha (couplets) of Hanuman Chalisa is miraculous, but there are some Chaupaiyan that show the effect very soon.
