Hanuman chalisa is hindi poem written by mahakavi goswami tulsidas in the sixteenth century in praise of lord hanuman.
It is very popular among a lot of modern hindus and is generally recited on tuesdays (considered a holy day for devotees of lord hanuman).
The poem is called a chalisa as it contains forty (chalis in hindi) verses.
The structure of the poem is extremely simple and rhythmic thus making it all the more popular.
The poem praises lord hanuman s strength and kindness and recounts the lord s great deeds.
Hanuman occupies a unique place of reverence in the hindu pantheon for his exemplary devotion to his master and his unbelievable acts to serve the cause of his master.
Hanuman was born to anjana who was cursed with the birth of a female vanara on the earth.
It is said that the childless king dasaratha performed putrakama yagna to have children.
After the yagna was over he got divine payasam for his wives.
On consuming the payasam his wives later gave birth to rama lakshmana bharat and shatrughna.
A kite took a portion of the payasam and flew away.
It dropped the payasam at the place where anjana was praying to lord shiva for blessing her with a son.
In the meantime pavan the god of wind put the falling payasam on anjana s palm.
On having the payesam anjana got hanuman as her son.
Because of pavan s instrumental role in his birth hanuman is also called pavan putra.
