Hanuman Chaalisa (हनुमान चालीसा ) - 1


Hello Readers,
Under the title Hanuman chaalisa, i am going to transliterate and translate the slogas from the devotional song for Hanuman .
There are 40 verses in this, and that is why it is called Hanuman Chaalissa( Chaalis means 40 in hindi)
It is  a  poem written by Tulsidas in Awadhi language , spoken in the Awadh region, Uttar Pradesh, India.
 I will try my best to give the accurate meaning. If there is any mistake, please post the corrections in the comments section.

Firstly,

Shree guru charan sarojraj, nijmanmukur  sudhaar I
Varanom raghuvar vimal yash, jo dhayak falchaar II

Meaning :
I am cleaning my mind , which is a mirror, with Sri Gurudev's holy feet's dust  and  am going to
explain the praises of the star of Raghu Kulam ,Sri Rama, who gives these four fruits -
1. Good Path
2. Material - achieved from good path
3. Happiness - Attained wishes achieved through good path
4. Home - Freedom from marital life

In the next posting, i will start posting the 40 verses one by one.

Jai Hanuman!
